 Traxler led a break from the Texas prison farm 12 days ago and since then he and Tindol and at times another of the escaped con- victs have been lodging police of two states. They had stolen 8 dozen cars and kidnapped five hostages, including Baird Markham, Jr., son of a wealthy oil man. Yesterday afternoon, Denton, last of the string of hostages, turned the tables on them.
 Traxler talked freely about his ef- forts to escape arrest as a greta posse of 1000 officers closed in on him and Tindol in the rough rolling country and timbered river bottoms
