STAY IN PRISON.
THOUSANDS ARE ON WATCH
The Trail Of the Supposed Murder
Victim Has Led Into an Unsettled
Country and 1t May Be Months Be-

Guymon, Okla, Nov. 24.-Although
a jury decided that Carl Howey was
guilty of the murder of Ed Norris
near Chickasha, June :, and he was
sentenced TO life Imprisonment for
the crime, there is much strong evil
dence to show that Morris is still
alive.
\ decomposed body was found
near Chickasha, Okla, June q and
this coupled with the fact that a
team and wagon belonging to Nor
ris had been sold in FL Reno led to
the belief that Morris had been muir
dered and the body was his. Norris
and Howey had left Anadarko to-
gether for the harvest fields. Mrs.
Morris identified the boots found on
the body. a pocket piece found In
the pockets and hat found near the
body as belonging to her husband.
Three men from FL Reno asserted
that they recognized Howey as the
man who sold the team, but the chief
of police of FL Reno, who had been
called to witness the sale of the Nor
ris team to Mexican, said he could
not identify Howey. Despite this
Howey was arrested and convicted
Of killing Morris.
