Parolee Faces New 20 Year Prison Term
In Dallas a paroled Oklahoma bank robber, Raymond L. Barker, 40, faces a new 20 year term for robbing a Dallas loan firm. He also has 12 years left on his prior sentence and must stand trial in El Paso for a May 25 robbery of about 2900 dollars. Barker, once an Alcatraz inmate, blamed financial reverses for his return to crime. He said he had been crime-free from 1945 until this year. He claimed he spent his savings to buy an Oklahoma City apartment house later condemned. A federal charge was filed in El Paso because the funds were FDIC insured.
