Motley County JailI
have been to the grave sites and also been through the old jail where they lived.
The living quarters were downstairs and the jail was upstairs. My grandfather
had told me about living in the jail when he was a little boy and watching his
dad hang men from a trap door in the ceiling. Sure enough, when I visited the
jail there was the trap door."

the stories I heard as a boy growing up in Matador had it that no one was actually
ever hanged in the Jail. It is true that the trap door is there. - Earle Price,
