Bank Robber, Murderer and
Escaped Convict Captured
Thursday Afternoon
Julius Bohanon robber, murder,
and escaped convict was captured
Thursday afternoon about 3 miles
of Rocky Branch, in. the woods near
Copella'a ferm. Officers caught
Manuel Cox and Bohanon's daughter
when they arrived at Cox's home in
edge of Daingerfield and Cox led
officers to hiding place of Bohanon.
Among the officers making the
capture were Sheriff Ben Garrett
and W, A, Stout of Morris county,
Sheriff Henry Brooks and two dep-
uties from Bowie County, John
Tigert of Titus County,
The actual cupture was made by
John Tigert, according to a state-
ment by him. Tigert stated that
when he saw that he had the drop
on Rohanan he hit him with his gun
and knocked him down.
Sheriff Garrett stated that Bo-
hanan's wife grabbed Bohanan's
gun and threw it away when the
posse came upon them, and that
Bohanan flared up but was taken
without much trouble, ,
Naples was thrown into a fever
of excitement Thursday just after
noon when the report was spread
over town that Julius Bohanan^
bank robber, murderer and es-
caped convict had been in Naples,
having come here to get his wife
and one of his two children,
Officers were soon on the scene,
but of course Bohanan was then
somewhere eise,
A car drove up in front of Mrs,
J, W. Berry's home about one
o'clock Thursday (yesterday) seem-
ingly containing only one man, who
was driving the oar, Mrs, Bohanan
and her 9-year-old daughter went
out to the car and Mrs Bohanan
was talking to the driver of the
car, Mrs Berry stated, when a man
began to rise up out of the rumble
seat of the car, where he had been
hid, with a gun in his hand and
caught hold of Mr9, Bohanan and
commanded her to get in the car,
Mr9 Berry said when she saw the
man rise up from his hiding place
she went out to the car and asked
what It was all about, whereupon
the man replied that he had come
after Connie, Mrs, Berry said she
told him that he could not take
Connie, but that he made reply that
she, Mrs Berry, had kept him from
getting Mrs Bohanan the other
night and told her to go back, call-
ing her a d—m old grey haired
heifer, pointing the pistol at Mrs,
Berry,
Mrs Berry stated that Mrs Bohanon
tried to pull loose fiom the man
saying, "Julius, I can't go." Mrs.
Berry said Mrs. Bohanan kept saying
this until the man placed the pistol
against her body and told her that
he would shoot her heait out if she
did not go, and forced her and her
daughter in the car and the driver
sped toward Daingerfield.
Mrs Berry stated that she struck
the man in the stomach and he kind-
er doubled up but continued to for-
ced Mrs Bohanon in the car.
Mrs Berry said Mrs Bohanon called
the man Julius and that the driver
of the car called him "Kinky" sev-
eral times, leaving no doubt that
the hidden man was Kinky Bohanon.
Sheriff Ben Garrett was notified
within a very few minutes and it
was stated that he left immediately
and that Mrs Garrett notified officers
in all near-by towns.
Bohanan is wanted as an escape
from the Oklahoma penitentiary
when one man was killed and sev-
eral prisoners escaped, Bohanan
is the only one who is still at liberty
of those who made their escape,
Bohanan was one of those who
staged a robbery of the Morris
county National Bank in Naples
July 2, 1934, getting about $1250
of which about $360 was recovered,
A few montha after the bank
robbery Bohanan shot and killed
twn officers in Oklahoma and es-
caped, but was later arreBted and
tiied for murder and received a
Jife sentence, and was confined in
the pen until the escape about two
months ago,
Since his escape from the pen
there has been an intensive search
for him by Federal and State of-
ficials.
Two men appeared at. the home
of Mrs Berry on the night of July
15, asking for Mrs, Bohanan, but
failed to gain admittance lo the
house, and Mrs Berry believes the
two men who came and got Mrs,
Bohanan yesterday are the ss me
who were .there on the l'oriner
occasion,
