WITH THEFT OF AUTO
F. E. Taylor Under Arrest
Oklahoma City on Accusa-
tion of Grand Larceny.
Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Adair and U
Attorney John E. Luttrell went to
Oklahoma City Tuesday to visit Mrs.
Adair's brother, F, E. Taylor, son of
C. H. Taylor, of six miles east of
Norman, who is being held in the Ok-
lahoma City jail charged with steal-
ing an automobile from Clinton Stein-
berg, with carrying a revolver and
with issuing forged checks totalling
more than $400.
Taylor will probably be given a pre-
liminary hearing in police court and
then be put in charge of the county
attorney, since he was arrested
two grand larceny charges. He was
arrested in a garage Monday night,
in the 700 block on East Sixth street,
end was found to possess a loaded
revolver. It is alleged that Taylor
had been forging checks and negotiat-
ip. them with merchants in Oklahoma
City.
Taylor, in explaining his possession
of Steinberg's automobile, said that
he obtained the machine from Ches-
ter Hale of Oklahoma City, who for-
merly lived on the Ten-Mile flat. He
lived at 121 West Fourth street, and
according to the police has been oper-
ating in Oklahoma City about two
weeks. The Oklahoma City police say
that he is under bond to appear fot
trial in several other places for em-
bezzlement and other charges.
