(AP) A bloody trial of murders, bank robberies and kidnapings were left throughout the southwest during the last four years by Oklahoma's phin torn bsndlt, Charles Arthur (Pretty Boy) Floyd.

Seven Murders Listed At least seven murders six or the victims officersand more than a score of bank robberies and kid napings have been laid at the door of the swaggering desperado. For two years af(er he returned to Oklahoma In 1030 following an escape from Ohio police who want ed him for murder, Floyd and a tall lieutenant, George Bird well, staged so many bank robberies and kldnaplnga that Oklahoma Insurance ratea became the highest In the nation.

Deacon, General Agent Psa r Dept., sJ S. W. Broadway, American Bank Btdg., BR. 0637, Port I tod, after Blrdwell waa killed In an at tempted bank robbery In the negro village of , Boley, Ok la., two years ago. Floyd did not take part In that foray. Throughout eastern Oklahoma and at Salllaaw where he was born Floyd reputedly was known to some as a "Robin Hood" who gave his loot to Indigent hill people, who in turn, gave him shelter. Driving a fast automobile Floyd would drive up to the door of bank. Leaving Blrdwell manning machine gun in the car, he would compel bankers and customers to He the floor, obtain all cash in sight and, kidnaping the banker, would flee. The bankers would be released unharmed at the outskirts of the town. Foiled orflcers Often Officers have fired point blank at Floyd during their running gun battles, but he has only laughed and sped by flhem. This led the authorities to believe the outlaw wore a bullet proof vest. One or hla last robberies In Oklahoma waa In his home town ot Salllaaw about a year and a half ago. Floyd began his career of crime In St. Louis In 1035 when he was sentenced to five years Imprison ment for highway robbery. In 1030, when Hsrland F. Manes, Akron, Ohio, policeman waa killed, the au thorities arrested Floyd and Bert Walker, later electrocuted for mur der. When officers at Bowling Green. Ohio, recognlred him later, Floyd shot his way out. killing Patrolman Kaipn caatnor. He also waa sus pected of slaying Curtis O. Burke, Kansas City federal prohibition agent. Returning to Oklahoma, Floyd's trail of crime was climaxed when In April, 103a, he shot his way out of another officer's trap, near BUby, leaving dead Eral Kelly, a pioneer peace officer. Klchettl Made Aide After Blrdwell'a death Floyd re putedly made Adam Rlchettl. Sem inole oil flehl worker, his lieutenant. In July, 1033. he snd Rlchettl kidnaped Jack Kllllngaworth, Polk county Missouri sheriff and forced htm to ride 600 miles In his own car. The sheriff was released un harmed near Lees Summit, Mo. j The following day three machine ; gunners shot to death four officers i and Frank Naah, a convict at the I Union atatlon In Kanaaa City In an effort to deliver Naah. The govern- j ment charged Floyd and Rlchettl as j two of the actual slayers. Nothing more waa heard from the bandit until officers found him at a Cresco, Iowa, farm house, October 11, 1934. He and two companions escaped after a gun battle with two officers, DREAMLAND OPENING WITH NEW ORCHESTRA Dreamland dance hall will reopen Saturday ntpht, according to Oeorse "Dlnty" Moore.
