Can someone help me to find information on the arrests of Fred Barker made in Tulsa,Ok.? My late husband's grandfather, Floyd J Bays, owner of the Bays Detective agency in Tulsa was instrumental in helping the FBI to corrale Fred Barker. Fred Barker was subsequently arrested, tried, convicted and sent to jail. In appreciation the judge(?) gave him Fred Barker's Colt 45 for his assistance in the arrest. If I can get some documentation of this event, the gun will be considered a historical item. Floyd J Bays is in the Oklahoma Hall of Fame. He was an outstanding private lawman.

Hi,

I am familiar with Mr. Bays and have some material on the Barkers. My E-mail address is MJK2852@aol.com if you would like to correspond.
