Assistant Attorney Hogan arose and
presented to the jury the facts in the case.
1t appeared that i'll the early days Of Okla
homa Oscar Sebring settled on town lot
in Guthrie. Sebring gave shelter to Seth
Clark. 1t further showed that Sebring
had made some trade whereby he had re-
ceived sum of money exceeding 500
which he had turned into bills and
wrapped them around his ankle. Clark
was the only one who knew where the
money was kept. On the night of June 2
g neighbor heard some noise in the tent OF
Sebring and going thereto he found
Clark lying on the ground acting as
if he had had been sandbagged.
Sebring was sitting on the ground
wit his head between his knees. On his
head was large hole, or as it was then
thought, gunshot wound. Clark began
to act suspicious when he was arrested.
The next morning marshal went to the
town of Alfred, about ten miles from
Guthrie, and there arrested Devine. At
first Deyine denied all knowledge OF the
crime, but on being told that he must strip
for the purpose of being searched, broke
down and handed over the money, which
he had tied around his left arm The bills
were found to have been torn off at one
end and the pieces were found in the hand
of the wounded man. Devine then con-
fessed to the crime. duplicating Clark and
a stranger, but saying Clark was the man
who committed the assault, having enter
ed the tent with a club in his hand, and
having told him Devine) to stand outside
and keep watch. After Sebring had been
robbed Devine took the money and went
to the place where he was arrested.
The attorneys for the defense reserved
their statement until later. Court then
adjourned until 8 o'clock this morning.
