ALLEGED THUG
SURRENDERS
Man Claims Policeman And
Lawyer Threatened To
Kill Him

CLOVIS, N. NJ, April 1872
Seeking protection, G. L. Williams,
charged with bank robbery in Okla
homa, surrendered to police at Fort
Sumner and said he had escaped
from an Oklahoma deputy sheriff
and an Anadarko, Okla, lawyer who
had threatened to kill him if he did
not tell where $4,000 bank loot was
hidden in New Mexico.
Police held a complaint filed by
the Anadarko officer charging Will
liams with being a fugitive from JUS
tive. After filing the complaint,
the Oklahoma officer left imme-
diately by automobile.
Williams told police the deputy
and the lawyer took him from the
Anadargo Jail where he was held for
trial Monday night and said they
were going to take him to the peni-
Tertiary at McAlester. Instead,
Williams said, they turned west
through the Texas panhandle to
Clovis and threatened him with
death If he did not reveal the hiding
place of the money. He said he es-
capped near Clovis. He was brought
to Clovis last night and refused to
go back to Oklahoma until assured
protection.
The Oklahoma officer who filed
the complaint told authorities he
had brought Williams to New Mex
leo to obtain bond for him pending
outcome on his trial. Williams de-
MED this and said he believed the
officer thought he knew where
bank loot was hidden.

Moody Keeps Up Fight
Mr.. Williams will confer some
time IN n remaining few DAYS be-
lore the session with Gov. Moody
when 1t will be determined what
changes, if any, are to be accented
in the Williams bill before it is

Civil service, prison relocation and
enabling acts to create the state
board OF education were subjects
listed by Governor Moody in his
call for the special session starting
Monday.
Governor Moody is busy this week
IN numerous conferences with law
makers on legislation intended for
the session, and in shaping meas
ureS to meet the conditions involved
in their defeat or failure earlier
this year.
Opposing Views
The public utilities control bill

time and thought before it is sent to
the legislature. The Holbrook bill,
written by the city attorneys of
Texas, and accepted by Governor
Moody, is sure to be reintroduced.
The Westbrook bill also is sched-
uled for resubmisSion when the sub
Ject is opened up by the governor.
Contest over prison legislation is
expected to start along lines of the
memorable regular session fight.
Governor Moody advocates a policy
permitting the prison commission
and a board of officials, subject to
veto review by the legislature, to
relocate the prison system outside
the overflow farm lands Of the
BraZoS river bottom, while a ma
jority of the house favored central
ization of the system on some of the
old farms. Both factions agree a
new prison plant must be con-
structed, and this need has been
stressed by the recent escape Of
j. r. Silver and other convictS from
prison farms.
