 Two photographs were enclosed in the Oklahoma officer letter. one showing | the full and the other the side face of the murderer A nun1ber of Leighton persons who are well acquainted with l the negro declare the likeness to be
 perfect, w,ile others are equally sure that the officer has the wrong man.

The phys ical description of Daniel as given by the Chief of Police agrees, 1t Is said ex-
