An Oklahoma highway patrol trooper was shot to death late last night in the Southern part of Oklahoma near Ardmore. Following a tangled chain of events that included a kidnapping and lasted into the early hours of the morning, two men are in custody and another man is dead of apparently self-inflicted gunshot wounds. The slain highway patrolman was 35-year-old Howard M. Crumley of Healdton. Authorities said he apparently had been killed with his own revolver. Officers said that an hour after Crumley was slain two men kidnapped 22-year-old Charles Walters and his sister, from their home four miles east of Ardmore. During the night one of the men, identified as 26-year-old Raymond M. Wilkinson of Rush Springs suffered fatal gunshot wounds. After Walters and his sister were released officers surrounded a house and arrested two other men. A motorist discovered Crumleys body beside the road about midnight and called highway patrol headquarters in Durant. -0-
