From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 14, 1912:

• “About a month ago Herbert Maxstead was released from the county jail where he had been serving a sentence for assault. Yesterday he was again taken into custody, having broken his parole according to the county attorney. But ‘Duke’ didn’t like the county jail as a residence and this noon left without the formality of notifying the sheriff of his intentions. He is still at large and according to last reports was disappearing at a rapid rate in the direction of Eudora. Maxstead was enrolled in the rock pile gang this morning and served just a half day before taking his departure. The gang had been brought up to the jail for dinner and were about to return to their work when ‘Duke’ gave the officers the slip and made his getaway.”
