ACOU|TTAL Of
MRS. HATTIE Jones
WHO WAS CHARGED WITH MUIR
DER OF HER HUSBAND BY
SHOOTING AT BOSWELL.

Hugo, Okla, Nov. 3-"Not guilty
was the verdict brought in by the
jury Saturday at midnight in the
case of Mrs. Hattie Jones, charged
with numbering her husband, Henry
Jones, by shooting him through the
head while he lay asleep at home
near Boswell, July II, 1911.
Sam Stewart, who lived at the
Jones home as an employe, was
Jointly charged with the crime, and
last March sentenced to life i'm
prisonment, which he is now sery-
ing. At that time Mrs. Jones also
was tried, but the jury disagreed
and mistrial resulted. Evidence
against her was purely circumstan-
tial, it is said. The contention of
the state, however, throughout the
trial, has been that Mrs. Jones did
the actual killing and that Stewart
was a conspirator in the death.

MORE THAN PARTY VOTE,

Reports received from all sections
of the county indicate that the
democratic nominee for the legisla-
ture. Hon. U. T. Rexroat, will carry

courage to put out a platform prior
to the primary election. in which
he took a positive stand upon the
proposition Of the usury laws and
the abolishment of the office OF
game warden and upon other propo-
sitions which have proved to be
very popular with the people. Mr..
Rexroat has had experience in the
legislative assembly of the state,
he is strong on the floor of the
house and also in the committee
rooms Above a 1.-The other virtues
that he possesses stand out his un-
unimpeachable honesty and harmo-
ny with his people upon legislative
matters. Tom Reyroat is a man
whom every citizen of the county
can afford to trust in the iegisla-
ture. He has never and will never
prove false to trust. He is a close
and intelligent worker and his
membership in the dominant party
in the state will make him worth
something to this county in the
legislature.
