woULD-az ASSASSIN CAUGHT.


One Of These Who Used King George Of
Greece for = Target.
Athens, March Lone Of the men
who tried to kill King George last Sat
urday was captured yesterday. His
name is Karditza, he is IS years of
age and was formerly a non-commis-
stoned officer in th0Army. He belongs
to class of doubtful repute, locally
designated as the koutzavantis. The
authorities obtained information that
karditza was hiding in q house of ILL
repute. which they caused to be sur
rounded by police. but in the mean
while Kar6itza had gone to the public
prosecutors Office and surrendered
himself. declaring his innocence. Close
~ pressed. however, he confessed to
being one Of the kings assailants.
He did not express any regret and
declared that if the gun had not trem-
bled in the hands Of his accomplice the
king would have been killed. Karditza
refused to furnish any further inforrna-
ton. According to The Astay, it had
been decided at a secret meeting Of a
certain club. held outside the city. to
assassinate the king because he had ac-
cepted the proposition for International
financial control of the revenues, in or
der to arrange the war loan. This de-
cision. 1t further appears, was recorded
on the minutes Of the club, a copy Of
which was sent to the king, who paid
no attention to the threat.
Later Karditza said the plan was to
ShOCf the EtnofS
horses. and then to dispatch the king
with pistols which he and his COM
panion were carrying. King George
has identified a photograph of Karditza
as that of one of his assailants. His
majesty has received message of con-
graduation from President Mckinley.

Friends.

Mother Of Clyde Mattor Proposes 10 Yist
Friends.
Yesterday from Topeka, Kan, the
mother Of Clyde Mattox, Mr.. Hatch,
arrived in Oklahoma City. She imm e.
diately went to the office Of d. o,
Lewis, where in short time she waf
interviewed by reporter.
Mrs. HAtch's kindly face looks years
younger since she has secured liberty
for her boy. Her voice 10 clear, its
tones jubilant and her manner mos
pleasant. There has been a strong
/, feeling here against Clyde MAttox, but
always for his loving mother there hat
been nothing bat admiration and re-
spect.
To the reporter she said young
man, ia regard to the securing OF a
pardon for my boy / have been given a
great deal Of credit and praise through
the newspapers. | do not deserve II
The credit for engineering this difficult
undertaking is due TO Mr.. ID. @. Lewis,
of 0klohoma City, and Mr. l.. T,
Kitchener, OF Washington, ID. @,
only did what they told me- These
two gentlemen labored for me without
remuneration, but solely through kind
ness toward me-"
Mrs. Hatch then told OF the kind
ners that had been shown her by the
officials at Washington.
OF the report that Clyde was drunk
at Newton, Kan which was printee
in Kansas papers, Mrs. Hatch stated
that II was all cruel falsehood. She
stated that on the day the occurrence
was reported she aud Clyde had gone
from Kansas City TO Leavenworth and
Mr.. Lewis has letter from Clyde OF
that date, posted from Kansas City.
She said: "Clyde does not now use
liquor, nor even tobacco. He hAs
changed wonderfully. Instead OF the
wildness that he showed In the early
days of Oklahoma City has come the
steadiuess OF man who has gone
through deep trouble. His hair is
slightly gray, although Clyde is but 20
years old His health is not good, and
he Is now visiting in Mexico, where he
is improving fast.
Il shall visit my friends here for
some time, rs my best friends live In
Oklahoma. may make my home
here again. Clyde will probably visit
here, but whether or not he will stay
do not now know"
Ii has been three years since Mrs.
Hatch has visited Oklahoma City
Fer last visit was just prior to the
Communication by President Cleveland
OF Clyde's death sentence.
