Muskogee, Okla, March 2.--Tday a
jury is being selected to try Eugene

murder OF Sam Roberts, a deputy
United States marshal who vas killed
at Porum last summer In this case
the state will try 10 show a conspiracy
hatched in the federal jail mt Fort
Smith whereby Tittsworth and Jack
Pattman We're to kill William =. John

Of his deputies because they had
broken up a near beer joint that was
being rJn by the Tittsworths and their
friends
Pattman, alias Baldbridge. and
.Tittswo,s.h We're confined in the jail
at Fort Smith on minor charges and
Pattman has turned states evidence
and told story how he anf Tits
worth together planned TO entiSe John
son and Sapper into trap and get
them killed. Their plans miscarried,
however, and the fight came of at
Porum during a picnic whore the
Tiltsworths were running drink
stand In that fight Sam Roberts was
Killed and Dr. Sappcr was badly
wounded, but Johnson did not happen
TO be there Pattman's story Is that
had johnson been there he as well as
Sappcr and Roberts would have been
killed
When the fight occurred there was
so much confusion that Witnesses
could not tell whether it was Pattman
or the Ellsworth boys that fired the
shot that killed Roberts, so Ben and
Eugene Ellsworth and Pattman were
all arrested
The state relies upon the story of
Pattman to convict the Tittsworths
and the defense for Pattman will
plead insanity for him
This is only one of half dozen
plots that were made to kill William

Territory. in nearly every instance
tae plots were made ~ jointists who
had been raided together with a des-
perate character or two who had
some grievance against the officer.

err the amount sufficient to pay the
