AWAITING EXECUTION FOR
7 YEARS IS FINALLY FREED
Sentenced to Be Hanged, Intricacies of
the Law Eventually Give Him
His Liberty.

Muskogae, Okla, Oct 9.--"Kid" Kel-
ley, a negro for seven years under sem
tence to be hanged for murder, is a free
man.
Eight years ago he was accused OF
killing another negro at Tishomingo.
He was tried, convicted and sentenced
to be hanged. He appealed to the old
Indian territory court OF appeals. Be-
fore the appeal was passed upon Okla.
homa was admitted as a state, and this
was supposed to throw the case into
the circuit court Of appeals.
This court held that it had no iuris-
diction in murder cases and refused to
pass on the case. The state courts re.
fused to assume jurisdiction.
Kelley remained in the federal jail at
Muskogee three years, waiting for some
body to hang him. No one wanted the
job and nobody seemed TO have author
ity either to execute the negro or turn
him loose.
Subsequently an agreement was
reached whereby Kelley was sent back
to Tishomingo and held in the county
Jail there. and the state supreme court
was asked to pass on the case, but
the attorney general held that the state
had no jurisdiction. Finally Kelley was
turned out.
He has served seven years in Jail be-
cause of his crime, which is probably
one Of the factors that led to his lib
erty.

Scene From "The Witching Hour" at
Barre Opera House, Tuesday, Oct 10.
tion of such unique fame that any work
from his pen commands immense roy
alties. In fact, Clyde Fitch, at the
height of his powers, never could de-
mand such percentages as are now will
ngly paid to Mr. Thomas for every
play OF his that is produced.
1t is calculated that, since the first
presentation Of "The Witchng Hour, /"
Mr.. Thomas has received ut least half
a million dollars from this one play.
In this particular instance, having spec
cial faith in the drama, he obtained an
interest in the production itself over
and above his royalties as the author.
1t is known that Mr.. Thomas expects
to make several lEsndred thousand dol
lars more from the piece, and many ex-
perts in theatrical matters do not hesi-
tate to say that the grand total viii
in all probability exceed million.
Though Mr.. Thomas is now a literary
plutocrat with three or four different
residences he works as unremittingly as
ever and studies every minute detail
with the same care that has always
characterized his methods.

WHIPPING POST AGAIN
USED ON WIFE BEATERS
Stincr, Saying He Deserved the Pun

She Docs

soiit DUES.
,Centerville, Md-The whipping
post for wife beaters has been revived
in Maryland and a throng gathered at
the Jail to see the second punishment
Of the kind ever inflicted in Queen
Anne county and the first since the
revival of the old law. The culprit
was Laurence Suner. He requested
that his wife be summoned to witness
the atonement the law exacted from
him, saying he deserved it and that he
wanted her to see him punished Mrs.
St'ner was given a chair in the Jail
yard near the whipping post and
grimly watched the proceedings.
stiner took the first three strokes
with scarcely more than a whimper,
but before the fourth descended the
muscles of his shoulders and arms
were drawn into tense knots from the
pale white-livid marks filled with
bruised blood which lined his shoul-
ders and ext tlded down his side.
When the sixth stroke fell a sigh
Of relief escaped the throng that had
gathered to see the whipping, a blan-
ket was thrown about the victims
shoulders and he was hurried to his
cell, where the jail physician applied
ointment to heal the cuts.

ago. thinking it had expired, he paid
more money to the county clerk and
secured his second license. hunter
