SHERIFF WOULDN'T TAKE HIM.
Although G. G. Gaines Said He Was
the D. D. Dillon of Oklahoma.
S. A. Elrod, under sheriff of Lawton, Ok., arrived in Kansas City last night from Jefferson City with requisition papers for G. G. Gaines, who was believed to be D. D. Dillon, wanted by the Oklahoma authorities on a charge of illegally selling whisky. Gaines was arrested on July 27 by Detectives J. J. McGraw and J. B. Keshlear. It was said that he had attempted to obtain money on a raised postoffice money order.
A circular received by the detective department contained a picture of a young man named D. D. Dillon and offered a reward of $100 for his capture. Gaines was accused by the detectives of being Dillon and admitted that he was. The Oklahoma authorities were notified and Sheriff Elrod came to Missouri for the prisoner. When Gaines was taken before the sheriff the inspector of detectives was surprised to hear the sheriff say that he was not the man wanted. Gaines still claims that he went by the names of Dillon in Oklahoma as well as by Gaines. He has letters addressed to D. D. Dillon. Sheriff Elrod departed for Lawton last night without the man.
