CANNOT BE PUNISHED
 FOR OLD CRIMES.
Those Committed In the Creek Nation Prior to Last January Must
 Be Passed,

Muskogee, I. T, Oct 24-Acoordinc 10 Federal Judge Springer, there is at present no legal way of punisbinc . creek Indian for murder or any other onense committed prior to Jan 1 1sq8
 This ruling was made by Tndoa springer In passing upon the case of William Tiger, Greek Indian, convicted of murder in the tribal court before if was abolished by act of congress and sentenced to be shot. Upon a writ of habeas corpus the Indians attornevs carried the case into the Federal court alleging error in the tribal court
 1n passing upon the case Judge Spring CT held that the tribal court only had jurisdiction and the case was remanded to the tribal court for execution of the sentence, but an appeal was again taken to the United States court of appeals for the Indian Territory.
 While the case was pending there congress passed the Curtis act, wipine out of existence in July last the tribal courts and all their offices. The decis- ion of the tribal court was again sus. tained and the execution of the sentence ordered, but this decision was not ren. dered until after the Curtis act became Q law.
 Again the Indians attorneys brought the case before Judge Springer, and
 latter's decision that the sentence
 ould not be executed, inasmuch as the corr lad been abolished, was the result, Similar decisions were also rendered in the cases of Chiffon Flennelly and Belcher Smith, both of whom were un. der sentence of death by the Cherokee courts. Judge Springer ordered the re- lease of the three murderers.
 Incidentally, Judge Springer announc. ed that there was no law under which punishment could be inflicted for crimes committed prior to January last in the territory that was to that time under their jurisdiction in the courts of the five Indian tribes. The tribal courts alone had jurisdiction up to that time. These courts have been wholly abolished and the Federal court has no Jurisdic. tIOn prlor to Jau. 10 last
