confessions of Roy Harmon and Eddie
Bailey in the Borger deputy murder
of 1927 were recovered late Monday
night. Ranger Captains, Tom Hick-
man and Frank Hamer announced this
morning.
Theft of tho papers waB at first be-
lieved to have been the motive for
tho assassination of District Attorney
John A. Holmes shot down In ills
own back yard Friday night.
Where the confessions were recov-
ered, neither of the ranger officers
would reveal. In the confessions Bail-
ey and Hannon told of the slaying of
Deputy Sheriffs Kenyon and Terry in
Borger the night of April 1, 1927.
Holmes it was pointed out could
have prosecuted "Whitey” Walker, no-
torious southwestern bandit for par-
ticipation In this crime, but not Bailey.
Holmes was Bailey’s attorney be-
fore he was elected prosecutor here.
Bailey yesterday voluntarily sur-
rendered himself and was questioned
by the state and county officers. He is
at freedom on bond of $7,500.
Although stato rangers have heen
working almost night and day since
they came hero last Saturday night
they frankly announced they had made
little headway in the investigation ae
ig the whereabouts of the actual slay-
er of Holmes.
OBITUARY
T. C. Schooling was corn Oct. 26,

verted when young and united with

16 days.
He united in marriage with Miss
Maggie Howell, March 13, 1889 at Ne-

His friends were all who knew him.
He came to Canadian county in the

blessed with a happy home. He saw
his children grow to manhood and
