Goings tWallatopka), Choctaw In
dian. was shot at Alikohi, |. t., yes
terday, under sentence of the Choctaw
court, for murder.
Feeling among the Chootaws was
aroused by report that an attempt
would be made to stop the execution
by another writ OF habeas corpus. APP
plication was made, Wednesday, to
Federal Judge John r. Thomas for a
writ of habeas corpus. An order by
Judge Thomas granting the writ was
telegraphed from Tulsa, /. r., Wednes-
day night. 1t directed the Indian
sheriff to have the body of Goings at
South McAlester July 22d, and a
deputy marshal arrived at Alikchi with
the writ at daylight yesterday. Dis.
trict Attorney Clay and Sheriff Thomas
Watson were in consultation when il
was presented. The sheriff refused to

The sheriff barred his bosom, painted a
spot over his heart, stepped back four
PAGES, rested rife across bench and
fired. The bullet entered the breast
but missed the spot. Goings fell back

expiring. Water was poured down his
throat a number of times to hasten
death by strangulation.
While tho execution was proceeding
District Attorney Clay remarked: 1--WE
are making history. >"
