state officer had been looking at
for three years in the different
small towns of the state. 1t
was the technique of five des-
perados who operated in Kansas,
Oklahoma and Arkansas. They
forced doors OF stores and banks
and with amazing effrontery
stole the safes which they
loaded on a truck equipped with
a winch for that very purpose.
Operating usually after the town
night marshal had made his
midnight round, they would per-
form their depredations-and

ME Mae Morris, 80, and Grace
Downey, sc.
With the exception OF Nc
Aztec and the two girls, all were
on parole and had long prison
records.
The two girls admitted readily
that they were friends of two
of the men. Peterson and Cot
ner-but that was all they
would admit.
Three days later, however,
the officers knew that they had
the infamous Phantom Five in
their net. Witnesses were rushed
10 Sapulpa from Kansas and
other parts of Oklahoma. Peter
son was identified as one of the
bandits who took part in day
light bank holdup at Galena,
Kansas. Cotner was named as a
member of the gang that rifled
a Weir City, Kansas, bank of
its safe. shortly after the Ca
lena robbery.
This pair was promptly eX-
tradited TO Kansas where they
confessed and were gwen life
sentences.
Brophy and Wright were iden-
titled as members of the gang
that held up a department store
in Saltwater, Oklahoma. Both
were returped to McAlester for
life.
McAtee was picked by two
witnesses as one of the men who
held up Night Marshal Pearson
in Billings, Oklahoma, the night
before the Bob Hammers muir
der. Not having any prison
sentence, he was held for trial.
There was no evidence that
either Grace Downey or Winnie
Mae Morris was guilty OF any
crime, so they were released.

A Chance Tip
From Woman
Convic+s Gang
BY TERRY McSHANE

THE frigid blackness Of
Il moonless night shrouded tn
little Kansas town of Clear
water on the night Of March
13, 1884.
A few minutes before mid
night, Marshal Bob Hammers in
making his nocturnal rounds
looked into the side door OF the
Clearwater State Bank. and
what he saw caused him TO
blink in sheer amaZement. Three
men evidently had just entered,
one holding a large crowbar and
the other two had sawed-off
shotguns crooked in their arms.
"Stick 'em up, all three Of
youw
One OF the men cursed wildly
and loudly, and then the night
wasAsplit with the thunderouS
report Of a shotgun. Hammers
crumbled TO the sidewalk, inert
and limp.
The three robbers raced for a
car parked behind the bank.
The midnight bus had come
10 a stop a few doors away;
passengers hearing the blast
piled out 10 discover the body
OF the foully murdered officer.
II was one of them who had the
presence of mind 10 notify
Sheriff Charles Hoover in
Wichita. 20 miles away.
The sheriff sprang into action
by first having the news OF the
murder flashed TO headquarters
of the state highway patrol in
Topeka. Then he spent the rest
of the dark hours searching the
aicinity with the aid of a fash
rkght; and a good part Of this
Investigation kept him on his
knees examining the frozen
ground.
Dawn was breaking when
Capt. Hugh Edwards Of the
Kansas state patrol drove up,
and Hoover, his~face drawn and
pale, greeted him with:
"Tt's the work Of the Phantom
Five. III get them dead or
alive"'F
At the side bank door, Cap
tain Edwards saw marks OF a
