PURDUE IN TROUBLE.

A. M. Purdue, formerly of Pine Bluff, says the Guthrie (Okla.) ) Capital, of the firm of Purdue & Co.,, a commission company which recently opened a brokerage concern in the old Bank of Indian Territory build- ing at the corner of Division and Oklahoma Sts. on the charge of embedding over $8,000. The Lexington National bank of Lex ington, Okla, of which he was president until recently, charged him with the misappropriation of funds.
 'The arrest was made soon after it was learned that Purdue was wanted on the charge of embezzlement. His father, Alex. Purdue, prominent Arkansas banker, was in the city and the police shadowed a messenger boy carrying a letter from the father to the son. The son was placed under arrest. It is said that he turned very pale, but made no remarks except that the police men allowed him to walk in front of them as they went to the po- lice station.

NEGRO HANGED
 AT CLARENDON.
John Bell Pays Penalty for Mur- der of Boy Protests Inno-
 cence to End.

Clarendon, Jan. 28. John Bell, a negro, was hanged here this morning at 11;15 for the murder of Winnie Gideon, a white boy, on October 29 last, in Richland township, in the north ern part of the county.
 Sheriff Milwee sprung the trap at 11:15 and in three and a half minutes the physicians pro- nounced life extinct.
 Bell never moved muscle af- ter the drop. His body was as motionless as a bag of sand. He protested his innocence to the very last, declaring that "an in- nocent child was being sacri- feed" He asked all the negroes to meet him in glory" and prayed fervently from the time the black cap was adjusted until the drop fell.
 The crime for which Bell paid the penalty was the murder of a 12-year-old white boy. Bell and another negro were hauling cot ton to gin and the white boy went with them. Bell took a pencil from the boy, who cried and threatened to tell his mother. Bell thereupon seized a piece of rail and struck him back of the head, killing him almost instant | ly. The body was thrown into a stall in the gin and covered with seed cotton.
 Norman Coach, younger ne gro who was with Bell, testified to the manner of the killing and it was upon his evidence that the jury acted at the December term of court.
