Sh11 Claim To
Haze Hunter
Two Negroes Positively Identity the Prisoner
as the Right Man but Some Doubt Is
Still Expressed

Oklahoma City, Aug S.-Despite the
fact that Alf Hunter, alias Jim Kings
bury, slayer Of Sheriff George W. Gar
rlson, has been identified to a reason
abe certainty by two negroes, one Of
whom has known him since he was IA
years cd, and the other one who has
kaown him more recently, especially
during his stay in Oklahoma City when
the Two were together daily anl gam
bisd there seems to luik doubt in
the minds Of cagtain officials as D the
identity Of this negro.
Both Of the negroes, Frank Daugh-
erty and Huse Williams, are po ative
in their Identification Of the negro.
Williams was taken to Klnghsher yes
terday and carried before the negro
held as Hunter. When the prisoner
first was brought face to face with
williams, the two negroes looked at
each other and Hunters eyes dropped,
The fact that he had shaved between
his eyebrows and rad let his mus
tache and beard grow for more than
two months caused Williams to look
closely for several seconds before
speaking.
Then came the reply;
"That is Kingsbury.H
When Sheriff Tate had the prisoner
walk away from williams and stand
with his back to him, Williams said:
II never would forget them bow legs
and them pigeon toes, and his feet are
exactly like Kingsbury. ! believe he
has on the same pair Of shoes righl
now that he wore in Oklahoma Ci.y
Ills back. head shoulders and height
are Kingsbury."
Then Williams approached Hunter
examined the scar on his face and the
slight scar on his Zip and said
"Yessir, that's Kingsbury. shore
do remember that scar on his face
His lips are natural and every feature
but them whiskers and mustache"
Frank Daugherty gave an accurate
history Of All Hunter so far as il
known from information at hand, anc
remained still unchanged as to his be
lief that Sheriff Tate had the righ
negro. Daugherty is the first man tc
identity Hunter. having been taken tc
Wellington, Kansas, by sheriH Tat'
to identify the prisoner
'That Niger never had no golt
testh. You will notice that his lowe
front teeth is ugly and rough looking
but he never did have the gold teeth,
stoutly maintained Daugherty, brothe
Of Susie Pride who was slain b!
Hunter.
