Police thought they had Traxler
and a companion cornered in the
woods here last night, but the pair
evidently slipped away. Traxler
was reported seen at 6 a. m. near
Durant, behind the wheel Of q
Communicated automobile.
The airplanes searching the
woodlands for the escaped convict
left Oklahoma City early today.
They are cooperating with police
and Federal officers from Okla

The car was found abandoned
later at a farm settlement. The
driver, who had been kidnapped
by Traxler, was unframed. Upon
leaving the car, the convicts seized
another and sped away.
Traxler's 30-year-old wife, who
tainted during the gun battle, was
captured and brought here.
The trouble began early yester-
day when Traxler dared to return
to Verden, OKLA, to pick up his
wife under the eyes of officers
searching for him.
Since escaping from the prison
farm near Huntsville, Tex, Trax-
Ter and his companion Tindol
have left trail of robberies and
kidnapings. Among their kidnap
victims was Baird H. Markham,
jr., New York, son of the president
of the American Petroleum Insti-
tute and a student at Yale Uni

At the time Of Markham's kid
naping and release near Sapulpa,
Okla, the pair was accompanied
by Charlie Chapman, another es-
capped convict. Markham declared
Chapman was "the brains Of the
