 This trial is attracting large crowd of people and every seat in ti1e court room was filled this afternoon by those who are anx- ious to hear the evidence.
 Ike and Tom Pipkin, who are jointly indicted for this murder, were brought into court this morning when the case was called After listening to the reading of the indictment as read by Circuit Clerk Green, both answered mot guilty" Both the defendants are taking a deep interest in the selection of the jury which is to try the case. Aside from this interest Tom Pipkin displays some nervousness while Ike ap- pears perfectly natural in no way slowing that he is under any mental strain.
 At o'clock this afternoon four of the twelve jurors to try the case had been selected.

THE KILLING
 ADMITTED
This Admission By Attorneys for Ike Tom Pipkin Causes Sensation
 Trial Progressing Rapidly.

The jury in the Pipkins' case was gotten yesterday afternoon after examining 10S men. A great majority of these excused themselves by saying they had conscientious scruples against capital punishment. Court then adjourned until this motning at S:30 o'clock.
 The opening statement for the state was made by Prosecuting Attorney Lake.
 Hon. Pole McPhetrige made opening statement for the de- fendants, and it was ia this state- ment that the surprise came to the crowded court room when MT. McPhetridge said that they would save all tcchnicalities by admit ting that Ike Pipkin fired the shot that killed J. G. Hudgins. This statement was not surprise to the prosecution, but created a profound sensation among the spectators.
 MT. McPhetrige went on to say that they did not plead self de- fense or even justification in the eve of the law, but claimed that the case was lacking in the re- ouirement to make it first or sec ond degree murder, but that 1t might be manslaughter. He then went on and gave as the reasons leading up to the killing trouble between MT. Hudgins and Ike Pipkin ia which MT. Hudgins had charged Ike with burning his barn and fences and on one occasion Mir. Hudgins had used abusive language to Mrs. Pipkin, the mother of Ike and Tom, that Mrs. Pipkin told Ike of this at supper on the evening of the killing and that Ike went to see Mir. Hudgins and demanded an explanation, when the killing oc- cured.
 The state began on the exatrliri- ation of witnesses by calling Miss Anna Hudgins as the first witness
 Miss Hudgins took the stand and in a clear, steady voice re- stated the events of that awtnl night. practically the same as was published in the Star imme- diately after the killing. Said that with her father and mother she was sitting m the east room of their home between 9 and S:3O o'clock on the night of March 3 when she heard some one call at the front gate, which was about thirty feet from the house. Miss Anna stepped to a window looking out on the front yard and in the moonlight saw a

 As soon as 1t was learned that Scroggins had left his bondsmen sent out postal cards giving a description of Scroggins and offering a reward of S25 for his arrest, Soon after receiving one of these cards Marshal Bickle saw Scroggins walking along the street and following him into a restaurant placed him under ar rest. The marshal at Potesu was st once notified Of the mans arrest, who in company with George B. Noble, one of the bondsmen, came in on No. } yes- terday afternoon and took charge of the prisoner, returning with him to Poteau on No. 4.

HANGING AT GILLIAN.
Three Eifigies Strung Up Last Friday
 by Citizens.

Goddard did not hang in De Oeen last Friday. The commu- tation of his sentence evidently did not please some of the people at Gillian, near which place his crime was committed.
 On Friday. the day set for God dard's execution, three effigies were strung up iu Gillham on the public street where it crosses the railroad. One was said 10 repre- sent Goddard, one the Governor who commuted his sentence, and the other one the condened mans attorney.

man standing at the gate and heard him say, Anna tell your pa to come out, 1 want to see him. Miss Anna recognized from the voice that 1t was Tom Pipkin and told her father Tom wanted him to come out. Her father said tell him to come in as he had his shoes off. Tom replied. no. tell him to come out" With the remark that be had been talking with Tom about buying d piece of land. MT. Hudgins got up aud without putting on his shoes went out. Miss Hudgins heard her father speak to Tom and ask him why he did not come in and heard Tom say, Il hear you have been talking about me" Her father then said, ''well if you came here to raise row I will go back into the house." and turning had taken perhaps two steps when the shot was fired. Her father fell and she rushe out to find him lying beside the walk breathing his last and unable to speak.
 Then Miss Hudgins was cross examined by Attorney Norwood.
 Q. Did Tom say I hear you have bsen talking about us?
 A. No, he said me.
 Q. You think he said me.
 A. l know he said me.
 Mrs. Hudgins, widow of ]. G. Hudgins, took lhe stand next. Her evidence was practically the same as Miss Anna's. She stated that her husband was 69 years old at the time he was killed and that he weighed 260 pounds. Will Dean was next called to testify as to meeting two men, one carrying a gun answering the description of the Pipkin boys. Here the defense admitted that the men met on the road were Tom and Ike and the wit ness was excused.
 w. M. Pipkin was next on the stand. Said he was a half neph- ew of the defendants and that they came to his home about niue or ten o'clock the night of the killing, having with them the gun that he believed to he the one Ike had borrowed from him some weeks before. They remained at his home about an hour. When asked if they told him that they had killed MT. Hudgins the court held that as an attorney he need not answer the question and Mr. Pipkin was excused from the stand.
 Dr. Watkins was next called to give expert testimony regard ing the nature of the wound and that its results were fatal. Ow- ing tJ the admission of the kill ing by the defense the states case was practically closed before noon.
 The court room has been crowded all day, many ladies being present.
 Mrs. Nancy Pipkin, thin, worn old lady, 70 years of age, is constant attendant in court dur ing the trial, sitting close beside her two boys, the defendants in this case.
 The taking of the evidence for the defense began shortly after court convened this afternoon.

A CHARMING
 CHURCH WEDDING
Mayor Mark p. 0Iney Leads Miss Flora Clark to tue Hymneal Altar
 Many Beautiful Presents.

The Presbyterian church of this city was the scene of wed- didg last night which was never surpassed in elegance or interest, or in hearty good will and senti- ments of kindly affection and love for, and toward the groom and bride. Mena's most popular mayor, Mark P. Olney, and most charming and cultured lady, Miss Flora Clark.
 The church was beautifully decorated with festoons of white honeysuckles strung across the interior, mingled with a profu- sion of fragrant roses.
 At the appointed hour Mrs Flynn sang the wedding song by Mendelssohn, accompanied by Mrs. Tomlinson, and Master Mar lin Hoge and Nellamena Roach were flower bearers to the bride and maid of honor and Master Warner St. John and Mary Green to the groom and best man, scat tering beautiful roses for them to walk over. Miss Lulu Clark was maid of honor and Mir. Lee Olney best man with Messrs. Weems and Baker as heralds, marching down each aisle ac- companied by the bride and groom to the altar where Rev. J. l.. Green waited to unite the happy couple.
 The ceremony was performed in Rev. MT. Greens most i'm pressive manner, using the ring service, Leighton Green acting as ring bearer, and in most appro- priate terms he pronounced them husba nd and wife.
 This couple are each represen- tatlves of good families and fine specimens of manhood and wom anhood. MT. Olney stands high in several secret society lodges and is also a politician of con- siderable note and Is we'll known over the state, having resided in Mcna since the starting of the town.
 Miss Clark is one of Mena's most beautiful and accomplished ladies, a favorite in soclety and church circles, loved and admired by all tor her winsome, pleasing manners and excellent character.
 Presents to the number of 105 were received from relatives and friends of the happy couple, in cluding quite little cut glass, hand painted china and several hand paintings in oil and water colors. Fraternal organizations of the state were quite prominent in the list of donors.
 The out of town guests in attendance at the wedding, were: Mrs. A. M. Lochart. Siloam Springs.
 Mrs. Mamie McGahey, Leaveu- worth, Kans.
 Miss Morgan, Weeks, Scott county, Ark.
 Mir. K. G. Moore and daughter, Fort Smith.
 The wedding supper at the Hayes home was attended by tbe families of tue contracting parties and out of town guests, also the minister who performed the cere- mony, Rev. Mir. Green and wife.
 Much credit is due Mesdames Babcock aud Roach and Miss Edwards fol the elaborate deco rations at the church. Mir. and Mrs. Olney left on No. this morning for ten days trip south, spending some time at Port Arthur aHd Galveston. They will be at home after June first.
 Mir. Olney has recently com plettd and furnished one of the incest homes in the city where they will reside after thelr return

FY-MAYOR PALMER FOUND GUILTY
l. Fined SIOO and One Minute in Jail for Obtaining Money Under False Pre- tenses-Hearing Evidence in Pipkin Case to Begin in
 the Morning.

The case oi the state vs. c. c. Palmer, charged with false oretenses was taken up yesterday morning and 1t took until the afternoon 10 get jury .o trv the case. The evidence was all given in yesterday even- ;nc and the argument was had this morning. The state was repre- sented by Prosecuting Attorney l. $. Lake and the defendant by Hon. Hal l.. Norwood and Pole McPhetrige.
 The state alleged that MT. Palmer, as mayor, represented to the Kansas City Southern Rail- way company that MT. J. C.. Rogers and wife and daughter, Mrs. Lula McCubbins, were paul pers and had been on the town and desired cheap rate or char ity ticket to Knoxville, Tenn. getting the tickets for s34. 59 when full fare would have been S69.1S.
 The state alleged that Mir. and Mrs. Rogers and Mrs. McCubbins had never been on the town as paupers and that they gave Mir. Palmer S46.10 and a COW and thought they were paying full fare.
 The defense claimed that Mir. ard Mrs. Rogers and Mrs. Me- Cubbins had only given Mir. Palmer S34 60 to get tickets which cost S34.59. He claimed the COW that was given him was for SIS that was loaned by him to Mrs. McCubbins, and also set up the fact that the fare on all three tickets over the Kansas City Southern lines would be only about sS and would only consti- tute petit larceny. The remain der of the transportation being over other lines the value of the same could not enter into this case as these roads were not par ties to the suit.
 The amount involved in the false pretcnse charge being less than Sl0 reduced the charge to misdemeapor punishable by hne not 10 exceed $500 and im- prlsonment not exceeding twelve months in jail, whereas, had the amount been over S10 it would amount to felony punishable by peniteniiary sentence.
 The case was given 10 the jury about II o'clock this morning and about l:30 this afternoon the jury returned a verdict finding Mr. ID. 1
 falmer guilty as charged in the indictment and assessed his pun lShment at fine of $l00 aud one minute in jail.
 When MT. Palmer heard tue result of the verdict he stated that he would appeal the case.
