M. Atwood, Oklahama City. Clark had in his : possession a Bil} of Sale showing the car was purchased for cash from Reinar Brothers Motor Company, Oklahoma City, Sept. 26, 1933, by F. M. Atwood. Jim Clark admitted that he had purchased this car under the name of Atwood at Oklahoma City. At the time Brady and Clark were transferred to the Leneing Prison this car was delivered to his alleged wife who had come to Tucum cari at the time of his arrest and was registered st the Elks Roaming House under the name of Beulah Jackson. At that time she was accompanied by & woman giving the name of Leons Defer, who claimed to be the wife af Bob Brady. ° On Feb. 6, 1934, the Warden of Lansing, Kensas, State Prison telegraphed the Police at Houston that they had reliable information that Jim Clerk and Frank Delmer were at that time at Houston and that Jim Clerk was either living with or in connection with a woman named Goldie | Johnson.
