The WRIT is
REFUSED
u. S. COURT OF APPEALS REFUSES
RELEASE GEORGE MORAN FROM
PRISON
WILL GO TO SUPREME COURT
Crime Was Committed at open
ing Of the New Country

The United States Conrt of Ar
peals at St. Louis has refused to
grant the writ of habeas corpus
asked for Attorney Riddle in be-
half Of Geo. Moran, who is serving
a sentence in the penitentary at
Lansing, Kan, for the killing of
young Beamblossom, near Rush
Spring five years ago. Mr.. Rid
die states that he will now file an
original petition in the supreme
court of the United States as he in
tended from the first and also ask
for writ Of certiorari to have the
record brought up from the circuit
court.
The decision of the court, refus-
ing TO grent the writ of habeas cor
pus is of widespread interest in le-
gal circles throughout the territory
inasmuch as it involves the ques
tion OF whether OF not crimes com,
mitted in parts Oklahoma before
the opening for settlement could
legally be tried by courts of ths
territory later.
AT the time Moran killed The
Beambloss ON bov, the Kiowa and
Comanche country had not beer
opened and attorneys for the pris-
oner have held that the district
court of Comanche county had nc
| jurisdiction because the offense wa:
committed there before the open
ing of the country for settlement.
1t was also maintained that the or
ignal Indictment was not valid hav
ing been returned by common
law grand jury empanellad prior
to an election in that country.
When young Beamblosscn was
killed he was driving with hi:
father. DR.. Beamblossom, ther
secretary Of the Territorial Live
stock Sanitary commission, neal
Rush Springs. Moran and mum
ber of rough characters on horse
back rode up firing their guns
Shots were exchanged and wher
the smoke cleared away the Beam
blossom boy was dead. Moran
maintains that the driver Of the
Beamblossom party opened fire but
this was disproved.

thing that a good price will bring,
then keep your door bolted at
night, don't trust them bit, for
depend upon it, they'll take evey-
thing that in sight. So far they

from an illustrated fairy story book

THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT II
Foraker Forces Insist that they

Washington, A. Mar, AFTER a
rather prolonged conference with
Senator Beveridge and other lead
ing members of the senate to-
night, Delegate Mcclure assured
me that Oklahoma would obtain
statehood.
eve have discussed the situa-
ticn throughly," said he. And
we know exactly where we
stand. ! make no prediction as to
the fate OF any particular amend
ment or amendments and will not
be quoted as doing 50, neither
have | anything to say Of the de-
tails Of joint statehood measure, |
stand for statehood for Oklahoma
and Indian Territory as broad
general principle and have nothing
whatever to do with the small de-
tails Of the fight for or against the
proposed union OF the other two
territories. | will not be concern
ed in any nix-up or battle regard
ing them. / have heretofore kept
aloof from any such embarrassing
and delicate complications and it is
my intention to continue doing
so.
Depend upon it, he conclud-
ed, Oklahoma will get statehood
before this session OF congress
closes.
The Foraker adherents are
holdingsfrequent conferences and
still insist that they hold the win
ming hand. Tonight, however,
their claims have dwindled down
to an alleged majority Of three,
which, 10 say the least, is rather
close. Uncle Joe still says he is
determined not to accept the state
hood bill with the Foraker amend
ment, and if it comes back to the
house with such an addition the
house will refuse to concur. Con
gressman Babcock, the sturdy
leader Of the insurgents asserts on
the other hand, that if Senator
Foraker succeeds in the passage Of
his amendments. Oklahoma will
get statehood. He believes, too,
that Forsaker's referendum pro-
position will carry in the senate
The race is undoubtedly getting
closer and more exciting with the
added element of uncertainty as 20
whether or not the big stick
will again'be brought into requisi-
tion.
