= i Barrow would not leave Bonnie Parker alone at the Tourist Camp and that Clyde Barrow was at the camp when Bonnie Parker was treated by Dr, E, H, Stevenson of Fort Smith, which was on the day that Humphrey was killed, The unidentified man who accompanied Buck Barrow in the Fayetteville holdup, etc., is believed to be Hubert Bleigh and it is on this theory that Bleigh is being held at the present time, However, none of the State's witnesses have been able to positively identify Bleigh, merely stating that he looks a lot like Buck Barrow's associste. Sheriff Mexey stated that the State's evidence at the present time is not sufficient to convict Bleigh., He feels that a trial and acquittel of Bleigh will injure the State's case against the proper defendant, when and if apprehended, and therefore, unless additional evidence is discovered, Bleigh will be discharged - from the mrder charge at the preliminary hearing which is scheduled for Thursday, dugust 10, 1935, At that time, Bleigh will be turned over to whatever authorities want him, although Sheriff Maxey stated that no detainers have been filed and he has only received an oral report that Bleigh is wanted by Special Agents of the Frisco Railroad for box car thefts, Sheriff Maxey further advised that he has queationed both Buck Barrow snd Eleanche Caldwell and they both deny that Bleigh was the one with Buck Barrow at the time of the commission of instant crimes, They say that the man who was with Buck Barrow was known to them as Jack Sherman who had served time in the Texas State Penitentiery, Sheriff Maxey ie now directing his attention to identifying and lo- cating Jack Sherman. It is probable, however, that Jack Sherman is a fictitious person concocted in the minds of Buck Barrow and Blanche Caldwell to protect Hubert Bleigh in this case, In conclusion, Sheriff Maxey stated that he has received no information as to the whereabouts of Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, and as a matter of fact, he is no longer seeking information as he considers that they have been eliminated from the crimes camitted in his county.
