Spurred to action by a rumor
that George “Machine Gun” Kelly
was in this section, officers Satur-
day night ran down an automobile
in which they thought the gang-
ster and some of his confederates
were riding; ;but they found its
occupants were nothing more than
innocent travelers.
Officers turned out in force
and a short distance from town
saw the car. It was traveling fast
and the officers had to “hit it up”
to stay with it. The car, however,
stopped at the first filling station.
The officers unlimbered their
“six-guns” and rifles and cover-
ed the occupants from every
angle.
Then, the men, somewhat irked
and skittish over the many guns
pointed at them, identified them-
selves as Abilenians enroute
home from Lubbock.
Kelly has been reported in a
dozen parts of Texas since of-
ficers started hunting him in con-
nection with the kidnaping of
Charles F. Ursohel, wealthy Okla-
homa oil man, and the . machine
gunning of four officers and a
federal prisoner ut the Kansas City
union station.
The three men stopped by offic-
ers were L. R. Thompson, Taylor
county auditor, Sid McAdams,
county commissioner, and Thomas
McWhirter, 1634 South 12th
street, Abilene. They were re-
turning home from the semi-an-
nual convention of the West Tex-
as County Judges and Commis-
sioners association at Lubbock.
