FIFTY YEARS IN PEN
Practically Life sentence Given to
Ira Bates. a Rapisf.

Guthrie, o. T., Dec. 29.-Just before
the holidays Judge 4. F. Hainer at Paw
nee sentenced Ira Bates, who was con-
victed in the district court OF rape on
Mrs George w. Daniels, living near Leila
The Times-Democrat reports the case;
Sentence was passed in several other
territorial criminal cases and the court
room was crowded with spectators, inter
est centering in the fate of the chief
offender, Bates When his case was
called and he was given an opportunity
to speak, Bates made a brief plea to the
Judge for mercy and asked for as light
a sentence as possible. His voice trem-
bled and he spoke so low that his words
were almost unintelliGible except to those
near him. Judge Hainer then imposed on
him a sentence of fifty years imprison-
ment in the peiteEtiary. The minimum
penalty provided by the statutes is ten
years, Bates practically receiving the
maximum sentence. The judge said he
regretted that the statutes of Okl.ho-
ma do not provide the death penalty Cor
such offences, as is the case in many
states and in the federal statutes. Mere
Imprisonment, he said. is not commen-
surate 10 the crime OF which Bates had
been guilty He commended the people
of Pawnee county for the attitude they
had taken in this aggravated offence
in that they exercised moderation and
permitted the law to take its course
rather than attempting to take the mat
ter of punishment in their own hands"

the morning PIeadings were made for
the prosecution by Ben Franklin. E. W

defense by ". s. Denton, ]. ". McMur-

which came from Roer Mills county on
change of venue. was the hardest fought
of any case ever tried in this county.
In the spring of 1901 the defendant and
his father. who had settled on land which
was claimed by Frank VI. Sears as
stock range Trouble had arisen; Sears
made threats, and endeavored TO drive
the higgins away. On the morning IF
August 5. 1902, Sears had stopped at the
home of the elder higgins and had used
violent language and threatened assault
with a pitchfork, after which he drove
TO the place of the son, a short distance
and repeated his action. The defendant
got his shot gun and shot him a:ead, the
theory of the defense being that he was
in fear of his life.
