We afforded Plemmons every opportunity to point out the place he had in mind and offered him trans- portation to any point that he would suggest, but he said he had no further roads or places in mind, He atated, however, that he would make a further effort to locate thie place and, if he finds it, he will notify this office. He stated that the young man whom he ia alleged to have accompanied into that country told him that this waa not the place at which the outlaws resided permanently, but was just a stopping place for them end that they treveled between Missouri and Texas and had several hideouts in that section of the country.
