RECENT OPINIONS
OF CRIMINAL COURT
SEVERAL QUESTIONS OF LAW
DECIDED RECENTLY-NO AP-
PEAL ON TECHNICAL GROUNDS.

Oklahoma CITY, Okla, May 1S.-A
warning to attorneys not 10 appeal
cases to the criminal court of appeals
on merely technical grounds is given
in the opinion of Presiding Judge Fur
man of that tribunal, in the case of
Bob Brazil. appealed from Carter
county. in which he was convicted
for violating the prohibtory law. The
conviction was affirmed. Judge Fur
man said:
where guilt of the defendant is
clearly established by the evidence
it is useless for attorneys to appeal
to this court upon mere technical ques-
tions which do not involve substan-
tial right of the defendant. If men
will violate the law. they need not look
TO this court for sympathy or assist
ance."
In an opinion by Judge Armstrong,
the conviction of Frank Manning of
Oklahoma county for manslaughter in
the second degree, and sentenced to
serve four years, was reversed. The
opinion holds that an instruction upon
the credibility of the defendant as a
witness on his own behalf constitutes
error.
The principle that person found
conveying portion of an interstate
shipment of liquor between points in
the state. when the evidence does not
show that the liquor was for any 9th
er purpose than his own personal use
does not constitute a public offense,
was laid down in per Curam opin-
ion by the court in the case of J. w.
Willis of Stephens county, which was
reversed and remanded.

the affidavits should have been pre-
sented to the lower court in connec-
ton with Il motion for a new trial.
In the case of George Gardner, con
victed for violation of the liquor law
in Canadian county. which was af-
tirmed by a per curiam opinion, the
court holds that as a general rule, a
party can not ask leading questions
OF the witness, but that when the wit
ness shows a disposition to be an
friendly to the attorney asking ques-
tons, he may be permitted to ask
leading questions

SON KILLS DRUNKEN FATHER.
Indian Boy Stays Sire to Save Lives of
Family.

Family.
Holton, Kan, May 16.-As a result
of an Indian family getting drunk on
bitters on the Pottawatomie reserva-
ton Saturday, the father is dead and
the son is in jail accused of his muir
der.
The dead Indian, Billy Moore, lived
on the reserve southeast OF Bennett
vile. Saturday. having secured an
ample supply of stomach bitters, the
old man and the 1S-year-old son got
what is called crazy drunk, and the
mother and two or three daughters
were in a state generally denominated
dead drunk. Moore in his delirium
flourished a section of a fence rail as
a club threatening to kill the whole
family. The young man, it appears,
being a shade less drunk, tried to per
suade his father to desist and go into
the house. Moore answered the per
suasion by batting his son over the
head with the club. The son then pro-
ceeded to carve the old man with
butcher knife, the result of which was
a severe cut on the arm, which sew
cred an artery and Moore bled to death
while the members of the family lay
around in a drunken stupor. Sheriff
Isaacs arrested young Moore and
brought him to Holton and lodged him
In Jail. The young man has pretty
good case of self defense, and the
probabilities are he will not be held
for murder in any degree.

Wilson, the woman mayor of Hume
well and the five male members OF the
city council have come to some sort OF
an understanding and an armistice has
been declared. Mrs. Wilson states she
will not press the matter of the IL
legality of the council meetings previ-
ously held, but will accept the action
of the council in passing an ordinance
providing for regular meetings on the
first Monday night in each month. Th3
councilmen on their part have agreed
to defer to Mrs Wilson's scruples about
meeting in what she terms a bedroom

to be satisfactory to both parties Inc
five councilmen are said to have no
objection to confirming the appoint
ment of Mrs. Hilton as clerk but are
rather dubious about the woman mar

little baby in his arms, here?" This
question was asked by a good looking
and well dressed young woman of the
Santa Fe ticket agent. The woman

was inquiring about the man and the
baby, was that the baby had been kid
naped.
Her name is Mrs. Hattie L. Thomp-
son and her home is at Newkirk, Okla.

son. The child in question is girl
LIZ months old. 1t is the child of Mr..

married about five years. For some
time past, however, they have been
separated and the mother kept the
baby. The father of the child called
at the family home and the grand
mother was there with the babe in her
lap. The husband and father snatched
the baby from the grandmother's
arms, went outside, whistled, and an
automobile drove up. The man with
the babe then came north. She thinks
her husband took the baby to Wichita.
