Lebanon, Mo., Sept 6 (Special) - C. H. McBraer jumped from a speeding passenger train here Tuesday morning while handcuffed and in the custody of Sheriff George B. Nobles of Poteau, Okla., and escaped. He was located Wednesday by Sheriff Williams of Laclede county about tow miles west of Phillipsburg, where he had stopped to dress his foot which was hurt when he jumped from the train. He had broken jail in Oklahoma, where he was held on a charge of forgery and made his escape, but was located by Sheriff Nobles in Evansville, Ind., and he was rearrested. He was being taken back to Oklahoma when he again escaped.
