Ijfl A tall, strapping 195-pounder charged with I he rape of a 5-month-old infant was held in the Lubbock County Jail today because officers feared mob violence at Seminole,- Tex., the baby's home. William Thomas, Hughes, a 34-year-old ex-convict was spirited out of Seminole by three Gaines County officers last night and brought here for "safekeeping." The police. snld the Jail at Seminole was "not of the maximum secu rity type." Earlier, officers had denied a newspaper report that "ominous little groups of men" gathered around the Seminole jail. Hughes, who stands 6 feet 2, was arrested yesterday about two miles from his abandoned auto mobile after the father of Jackie Jo Davis took the tot from the i ex-convict and rushed her to a Seminole hospital. Officers said Hughes took the child from her bed while the pa rents, a former GI and his Japa nese wife, were, at a- Hqbbs, M.M., bar where the father la a bar tender. - . ,' ' , , . The mother Mri. Jack Davis, 36) left Hughes with the Infant and a 6year-od son while she. visited her husband at the bar. The Davis' . two-room cnbin is about 20 or 30 feet Inside Texas across the line from. Hobbs. The boy was still asleep and unharmed when the mother re turned to the cabin, but Hughes and Jackie Jo were missing. Deputy Sheriff J. C. Fort of Lea County, N.M., said Davis found Hughes and the baby about 4 a.m. took the child from the ex-convlct and rushed her to Seminole, where ofllcers were notified. Fort said Texas officers reported th Incident to him and he tracked Hughes two miles from tbe spot where the Texans had recovered his car. Hughes and the three Gaines County officers were met last night at Browntleld by ttio Texas Rangers and Lubbock County Sher iff Grady Harrlst, who escorted tne group Into Lubbock. Harrlsi said Hughes talked free ly about the case but maintained h could not remember what hap pened. The sheriff said the man appeared deeply concerned about I his involvement.

Banks offering these personalized checks Include the Bank of Amer ica, Butte Valley State Bank, The First National Bank at Merrill and Klamath Falls and the U.S. Na tional Bank of Klamath Falls.
