““Absence or flight of defendant. — If, when a cause of action accrues against a person, he be out of the State, or has absconded or concealed himself, the period limited for the commencement of the action shall not begin to run until he comes into the State, or while he is so absconded or concealed; and if, after the cause of action accrues, he depart from the State, or abscond, or conceal himself, the time of his absence or concealment shall not be computed as any part of the period within which the action must be brought. R.L.1910, Sec. 4660”.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Vaughn v. Deitz · Strickland v. Kay““The theory of the statute of limitations is that it operates to bar all actions, except as against persons and corporations upon whom notice of the action cannot be served because of their being out of state. If such notice can be served during the whole of the prescribed period, and a personal judgment obtained which can be enforced in the mode provided by law, then such person or corporation is not ‘out of the state,’ within the meaning of section 4660, Rev.Laws Okl. 1910.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Wright v. Keiser““Under section 106, Okla.
