IN U. S. SUPREME COURT
Oklahoma Murder Case Argued
Before Nations Highest
Legal Tribunal

Washington, d. c., Nov. 30.-Sen-
fenced to imprisonment for life on
a charge of murder, William Hendrix
OF Oklahoma. through his attorney, ap
pealed in oral argument to the SUI
premo court of the United States to
set aside his sentence.
Hendrix was charged with having
murdered his father-in-law, Robert w
Voss, at Pauls Valley, old Indian Ter
ritory. On his request his trial was
removed from the federal courts OF
Indian Territory to the federal courts
OF Texas. Later Hendrix sought In
vain to have his case returned to
Oklahoma. Refusal to return the case
to Oklahoma is now clxned to have
been a denial 10 Hendfix of his CON
stilutional rights.
ii is set forth in a brief to the
court that one reason why Hendrix
desired the case returned to Oklaho-
ma was because there his wife could
have testified in his behalf. A copy
OF an affidavit Is produced to show
that Hendrix expected his wife to
testify that she told him such story
OF her fathers treatment OF her that
he was made irresponsible.
The federal government opposed a
new trial for Hendrix. The court
took the case under adyisemnt.
