SHERIFF
(Continued From Page 1)
Soon after the killing, Combs was
arrested and placed in jail three,
times, but each time was released.
He went to Iowa, .Nebraska and Cal-
ifornia, and about eight years ago
located in Twin Falls, and was going
under the name of Ed Collins, work-
ing as a mechanic and living with his
wife, formerly of Gatesville.
Sheriff Benson says he did not see
Mrs. Combs during his visit there,
but sent her word that she could ac-
company them to Meridian if she de-
sired to do so, but she preferred to
remain in Twin Falls.
At one time a reward of $550 was
offered for the arrest of Combs, but
the reward had been withdrawn be-
fore Combs’ surrender.
The case will come up at the next
term of District Court, which meets
the first Monday in December, Dec. 4.
Sam Elrod, chief of police at Twin
Falls, to whom Combs surrendered,
was reared in Hill county, Texas, and
Sheriff Benson says they received ev-
ery courtesy that could be expected.
Elrod, however, had not heard of the
Carpenter murder, and knew Combs
as Ed Collins until his surrender.
Flora Cooper, who lives just across
the line from Iredell in Erath county,
and Jesse McCoy were arrested Tues-
day by Constable Gillaspie and placed
in jail here on charges of petty theft
in connection with theft of harness
from J. C. Hanshew. They entered
pleas of guilty. Cooper paid her
fine Wednesday and was released,
and McCoy paid his fine yesterday
and was released.
