JAIL REVEALED
Stinnett Officers Return
After S~piriting Away
Prisoners

STINNETT, Tex, Nov. 20-tP1-
Mysterious maneuvers Of Hutchin-
son county officials and their pris-
oners, which had kept the state
guessing since last Saturday when
two prisoners, were spirited away
from jail here and Sheriff Moore
left on an u-nannounced errand,
were partly cleared up today with
the return Of Sheriff Moore and dis
covery OF the prisoners in q Fort
Worth Jail.
The two prisoners, Sam Jones and
Jim Hodges. were probably the most
important the Stinnett county jail
had held for some time, in that they
were charged with the murder of
district attorney John A. Holmes
whose assassination last Sept. 1S
led TO martial law in Berger. Last
Saturday afternoon. they were taken
from Stinnett in custody Of Deputy
Red Burton and Officer Lee STAN
non. turned up Sunday In Fort
Worth. disappeared again, and only
last night were discovered still in
Jail at Fort Worth. They have pre-
sumably been there since last Sun
day.
Sheriff Moore came back with the
announcement he merely went after
a man wanted as a suspect in a
Berger stabbing affair. instead OF
being in Austin, Louisiana, or else
where on q secret crrand.
Just why the two men were taken
from jail. ana why officers profess
ed ignorance OF their whereabouts,
has not been publicly made known.
1t Is presumed the step was taken
to prevent and premature attempts
to bail them out. Shelf Moore said
he expected Burton, Shannon and
their prisoners back about" Satur-
day. the date on which a habeus
corpus for the men has been set.
