Walker is 40, but he insists that

Oklahoma Bandit KING

FRED WALKER,
FAMOUS BANDIT
GIVES SELF UP
IL Am Tired of Being Hunted
and | Want Rest" Said
Walker

MUSKOGEE, Okla, Nov. 10
The bandit king of the Cherokee
Hills is tired of hunting and being
hunted-weary of being always a
fugitive with a price on his head, of
having every mans hand against him.
And so he has returned to the big
br.ya penitentiary here from which
ne escaped two years ago. He re-
turned voluntarily to serve the Ten
year term, and declares that when
he finally gets his freedom he will

Fred Cotton Top Walker, who
boasted that despite a long list Of
bank robberies he had never had
TO kill a man, had to be on the move
constantly from the time he fled the
rson in December. 1928.
When he escaped state authorities
commissioned Mont Grady, former
penitentiary gard, as a state peace
officer and told him to devote his eff
forts to one thing only-the capture
of Walker.
And Grady proved a good blood
hound. Never did Walker get out of
his ken. Walker fled by automobile
on horseback and on foot, and al
ways Grady was close behind. The
bandit could get no rest.
One night Grady closed in on
hut in the hills where Walker was
Supposed to be hiding. As Grady

CAPITAL FOR
SOUTH EASY
TO SECURE
Plentiful Supply of Money at Low
Interest Rates Is
Available

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. IA
striking feature of the present eco
nomic situation, according to Allan
ia investment bankers and business
men, is the plentiful supply of mon
ey and correspondingly low money
rates.
Several good reasons for this. the
bankers say, are apparent. The
people, through good times and bad,
nave been steadily saving a little
something out of their current earn
lngs, and these savings, in the ag-
gregate, it was pointed out, are build
ing up the nations reserve supply
OF capital at rapid rate.
Formerly, it was asserted here. n
plentitude of money and low money
rates were looked upon as rather an
unfavorable factor in the commercial
world. 1t was regarded as betoken-
ing a slackening of activity and
smaller demand for capital.
The great army of savers need
not be apprehensive that their saw
mgs will go begging for profitable
employment. however, said an Allan.
ia banker. There is still a great need
for capital for constructive develop
ment in all quarters of the South"

town of Barber. 1t was his belief
that he had raw deal" politically
that made him a bandit, he says.
e Walker never actually participat-
ed in the holdups. He laid all the
plans and directed the movements of
his gang-but he always kept in the
background, trusting in his under
lings to carry out the plans he had
made.
