Oklahoma Town Storm Swept
Tornado Struck the Town Ct
Snyder at Night and Did
Vas, Damage.


m.-At II:4o o'clock last night
the dispatcher for the Frisco in
this city received a report from
Enid, O. IT,. advising that a tor
nado had struck Snyder, Okla,
wrecking the town and killing five
hundred people, among whom
was the station agent of the Fris-
co at that town. The request
came also for assistance. On the
strength of the report, the dis
patcher ordered relief train with
physicians to be sent from Chick
asaw, |. T., and Onanah, Texas.
The wire between Snyder and Sa-
pupa went down about 10 p. m.
LATER ACCOUNT OF THE STORM.
Guthrie, Okla, May II.-The
death list of last nights storm will
probably exc led 100 persons. IS
bodies have been recovered, a
dozen persons arc missing, and of
the d seriously wounded several
, are likely to die. More than 100
other persons suffered less severe
in Juries.
Relief is coming from neighbour
ing towns. Oklahoma city today
sent 100 men to dig graves and
seek the dead still in the ruins, and
a dozen undertakerS with one hun
dred coffins. Offers Of financial
aid have come from numerous
cities.
Governor Ferguson of Oklaho-
ma has issued proclamation call
ing attention to the needs Of the
stricken town.
1t is still difficult to obtain in
formation from Snyder. A single
telegraph wire furnishes an outlet,
but it is blocked with private mes
sagcs concerning the dead and the
injured.
To add to the general confusion
and distress after the tornado had
passed fire broke out and burned
up all that remained Of the build
ings in one Of the busiest blocks.
| SO far it has not been possible tc
find out whether any bodies have
been crcmated, but it is possible
that such is the case.

10 Prove an Alibi
in Eutawyi!le Case
Wives Of Defendants Take Stand
i'm Their Behalf. Edwards an
Excellent Witness.
BY William Banks.

liiC illulbSl VI NSlll bOOKdIu LOOK
quite turn today. Each and
every one has set up an an alibi
to disprovc which will put the
solicitor at a great disadvantage.
The question now is: Have five
white men Of some influence and
respectability been dragged to Jail
as felons by an unjust process Of
law, or has carefully prepared
array of manufactured evidence
been put up to secure the liber-
alton of men who deliberately and
in cold blood took the life Of
human being?
The evidence produced by the
prosecution today determined one
thing-Keitt Bookard is dead.
Another thing was determined
Keilt Bookard was murdered.
For it cannot be that he threw
himself into the river after he had
broken the lock of the guard house
and after he had tied an iron
bar weighing S. pounds to his
hands and feet. He did not com.
NIT Suicide.
The evidence Of Henry c Ed
wards removes the fear that the
crime was ghoulish one in its
details, for it was suspected that
the work Of hends hands had been
done to the body before it was
thrown into the water. How
ever, Edwards says that the ness
gro, yet alive, was thrown into
the river without any mutilation
of his body. The disappearance
Of ears, tongue, eyes and other
organs and the scars on the body
may be due to its having been
attacked by dcpredatory fish and
to the fact that it had heated nine
miles in a part Of the stream
where there are logs.
Henry Edwards made very
fair witness So far as keeping
his head is concerned he was en-
admirable witness, for not once
did he contr r,dict himself or any
of the evidence he has given pre-
vionsly at the pl eliminary hearing.
But in other respects he fell rshot
OF being forceful. He is sick,
and being naturally of timid
nature and very much abashed in
the presence of those whose very
lives he might be swearing away,
he spoke in such n low tone that
the Judge had TO order him to
move squarely in front of the
jury so that they might hear him.
MIR. Wolf kept tbi. witness un-
der cross examination for over an
hour, but not once did he make
any statement which conficted
with testimony which he had
given before.
The singular part about the
defense is that evidence which can
hardly he contradlcted with evil
dence was produced this afternoon
to prove an alibi for each man
implicated. 1t was admitted that
three of the men in the indict
ment were called at 3 o'elock to
60 to the guard house and get
Ke:tt Bookard out to take him to
tho county Jail at Moncks Corner,
but it was testified that after he.
ing out half an hour these three
came back and remained in the
house the rest of the night, makl
ing it impossible for them to hav,
gone three miles into the country
to take part IN u lynching. The
remarkable part about this evi
dence is that in all probability
