merchandise. They could not make the case stick, so he was then transferred to
Waco, Texas where he confessed to other crimes and was sentenced to two years.

prisoners (Turner and Abernathy) then proceeded to escape. Soon after that,
Turner and Clyde were recaptured in Middletown, Ohio. Clyde was sentenced to
fourteen years in Texas State Penitentiary, but was pardoned from prison on
