that only one man could possibly

Bailey had been model prisoner.
He spent most of his time reading and
smoking cigars. He chatted in friend

to Oklahoma City at the abrupt con-

returned here because the Dallas

most impregnable in the State and

Federal authorities were believed to

had been found on Bailey when he was
surprised as he slept early in the
morning three weeks ago Saturday. 1t
was revealed that S700 of the $1,000
he had in his pockets had been identl-
