Convicted Slayer Begins 30-Year Prison Term
James Albert Collier Jr aged 40 began serving a 30 year state prison term in the penitentiary hospital after Oklahoma City police arrested him following his 1950 conviction for slaying Clayton Dale Elkins. Sheriff Waldron said the trip to McAlester was uneventful and Collier, who wore a nose packing, asked to call his wife and attempted to cash checks along the route. Collier had been treated for a nose bleed at Wesley hospital and earlier threatened his wife, with his father a Fletcher rancher and banker. The jury gave 30 years in March 1950 and the conviction was upheld on appeal.
