 SuccunbS

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 14-(UP)- Mat Kimes, southwestern badman and listed as the unofficial" Pub lie Enemy No. l, died today in 6 Little Rock Hospital.
 After police and G-men had trailed Kimes for weeks, the des- perado stubbed his toe while cross ing Little Rock street week ago and was hit by a truck.
 Police had held him in custody in the hospital since.
 Kimes had been on "furlough" from the Oklahoma State Prison, seeking a petition for release on good behavior at the time he al- legedly committed armed robbery in Texas--an offense punishable by death in the Lone Star State.
 The former convict was accused of robbing the bank in Morton, Texas, of $17,535.
 Oklahoma authorities had been denied custody of Kimes following his capture. Little Rock authorities ruled the Texas robbery charges superseded the fact Kimes had overstayed his ''leave" from the Oklahoma prison.
 Kimes had served IS years of a life sentence for murder at the time he was given . .'tuxlough"
