OKLAHOMA CITT, Oct. 33. (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.
The moat notorious outlaw Okla
homa has known since the day of
A) Jennings and the Dal ton broth
ers, the elusive Floyd sneered
frantic- efforts of officers who charg
ed him with a list of crimes stag
gering enough to awe the moat
fearsome bad man of the roaring
days.
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.
Floyd and Blrdwell repeatedly
wriggled through the lines of the
law to reach carefully hidden hide
outs In the mountains of western
Arkansaa and eastern Oklahoma or
In the Seminole oil fields.

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,

TINGLEAF AND GATES
SETTLE DAMAGE SUIT
TO SAVE
By stipulation between Delbert
Tlngleaf and the C. E. Gates Auto
Co., filed yesterday, the damage suit
of Tlngleaf against the auto concern
was dismissed. An order directing the
settlement was fixed.
The settlement price la named aa
$500. Tlngleaf sued for 1560 alleged
special damages, 25, 000 alleged gen
eral damages, and 910,000 for alleged
pain and suffering.
At a previous trial of the suit a
year ago, the case was non-suited.
Under terms of the stipulation, the
settlement la not "regarded aa ad
mission of liability, on the part of
the defendant." It Is specified that
the settlement Is made to save "time
and litigation'
The settlement was reached yes
terday morning, Just before the case
came to trial.
The damage action grew out of an
auto accident on the Butte Falls
highway three years ago In which
Tlngleaf, and two youths sustained
Injuries, when an auto turned over
at a curve while travelling at high
speed. A salesman, It waa alleged, al
lowed an Eagle Point youth, to drive
the autci In which Tlngleaf, was
held by the auto company to be a
'guest passenger. ' All the Injured
youths were reRldenta of the Eagle
Point district.

Delicious Cereal Promotes
Regular Habits
Th rieht kinds of foods form
th vry bials of health. Yoo need
nourishment for strength and n
erRy. And you need "bulk" to pre
vent common constipation.
Otherwise, this ailment may cause
headaches, loss of appetite and
energy. You can correct it, usually
by eating a delicious cereal.
KellcKfr's All-Bran adds gen
erous "bulk" to your daily menu.
Testa show this "bulk" is similar
to that found in leafy vegetables
Inside tho body, the fiber of All
Bran absorbs moisture, and forms
a soft mass. Gently, this clean out
the intestinal wastes.
All-Bran is also a good source
of vitamin B and iron.
Isnt It safer and pleasanter
to enjoy this food in place of taking
patent medicines?
Two tablespoonfuls of All-Bran
daily will overcome most types ol
common constipation. Chronic cases
with each meal. If seriouslv ill, set
your doctor. All-Bran makes nc
claim to be a "cure-all."
Perra All -Bran as a cereal with
milk or cream, or cook into fluffy
muffins and breads.
Remember. KelloRg'a All-Bran
is all bran with only necessary fla
voring added. It contains much
more needed "bulk" than part-brsn
products. Got the red-and-creer
