Oklahoma Times-Journal: At the coro-
ner's inquest yesterday over the remains
of Mr.. Beddingfield nothing new was de-
veloped in regard TO the accidental killing
and the jury after being out but few
moments returned a verdict to the effect
that Frank Beddingfield, the deceased,
came to his death by a gun shot wound al
the hand of Roy Sherman. They did not
state whether they believed ii to be acct
dental or otherwise. Before putting Roy
Sherman on the stand, Prosecutor Taylor
told Mr.. Sherman that Roy could not be
made to go on the stand and testify unless
he chose TO DO so. Mr.She rman replied
that he wanted Roy to tell the truth about
the shooting. Roy was then put on the
stand and testified that he was shooting at
a post and that in some way Mr.. Bedding
field in his wagon, came between him and
the post and that Mr.. Beddinzfieid was
shot He said that at the time he shot he
saw the post he was shooting at and that
he did not see the wagon. A reporter or
this paper visited the place where the shoot
ing occurred and saw that IL was very easy
for the boy TO shoot across the road and not
see the wagon until after he had shot, and
that the road was down hill there and that
no doubt the man was driving fast. Roy
Sherman Is an innocent and intelligent
looking little fellow Q years old and told
straight and forward story. But seemed
to be entirely unconscious OF the awfulness
Of the accident he had caused. Mr.. Bed
dengield was a man OF about IS years OF
age, and leaves a divorced wife and two
children. His funeral took pla-e at 2:3O
this afternoon from the undertaking estab-
lishment OF Reed & Harper, and was con-
Quoted by the Rev. Burt OF the NJ T.
