ike Clyde Barrow cama to the cabin where I was and told me that Jack and my husband had had an accident and for me to pack up that we had te leaves We returned then as 1 now remember to Oklahoma and it wis two or three days after leaving Aransas that I read ino paper, celled the "Daily Oklahoma" that our gang was accused of having shot an officer at a little town culled Alma near Yan Buren. My husband was accused by tho officers of having killed this officer, although when I showed him the paper he told ma he did not know which one of them had actually killed the officer, he or Jack Sherman, as they both ghot severn) tima in thia fight. it was sometime after the Yan Buren shooting and while wo were in Oklahoma that I first saw the some thirty additional guns.
