About eight months ago a member of
the lodge stopped overnight at the
home OF Sam Swider and overheard
Swider's wife plead with her husband
to reveal the disappearance of Terry.
Swider replied that death would be
his fate should he ever tell what be-
came of the Arkansas man. The wit
ness was not acquainted with the
case at that time but later learned
Terry was member of the Odd Eel
lew lodge. Reporting the conversa-
tion to members more conversant
with the case the lodge took up the
matter with renewed vigor, but not
until after Swider had been convict
ed for horse stealing in Leflore coun-
ty and had been sent to the peniten'
tiary for a period of five years.
Swider Clears Mystery.
Governor Cruce allowed commit
te of lodgemen to visit Swider in the
McAlester penitentiary and beseech
Swider to tell what he knew OF Ter
ry. Swider refused but later when
his wife was brought to the peniten-
tiary by another committee, he sair

the skeleton found in the mountains
near Heavener was that of the miss
ing man. Following this confession
Bates, STYLES, Vaught and Mckibben
were secretly and separately arrest
ed. Governor Cruce pardoned Swider
so he could testify at the preliminary
hearing of the men.
McKibben and Swider at the pre-
liminary hearing declared Bates ana
Terry became engaged in a tlght en-
route to the lumber camp. Vaught
interfered and killed Terry by crush

was buried under pile of saw dust
for the night and the next evening
with the moon shining brightly, the
party removed the body of the muir
dered man to the mountain side, some
distance from the camp. A fire was
started and later extinguished to give
the appearance of the camp OF

Weeks passed before the skeleton
was discovered Swider said that in
an effort to leave the country he
stole a horse and started across Ok

Nike McDonough, the chief wit

reason to suspect that he was being
paid bv the defendants to dodge the
subpoena when they gave him SOU
a few weeks ago.
Many Socialists Present.
The court room was crowded with
socialists, some having come from
as far away as Oklahoma and Texas
Among the witnesses was Eugene v
Debs, now a writer for the Appeal &c
Reason.

erilling by Jake Sheppard, attor
ney for himself and the other two
defendants. 1t was brought out
through McDonough, who was until
recently an employe of the Appeal
to Reason that he had entered the
office of that paper April % and at
the point of a revolver forced the
three defendants to return to him an
affidavit he had signed months before
and which he alleged was partly
false. The following day. he said
he received a check for $3.50, and
SO in cash from Mr. Deos.
Check in Evidence.
The check, properly signed by Mr
Debs and drawn on the First Ma
tional Bank of Girard, was entered
in evidence by Attorney McCabe
Moore, for the government. The de-
fense. through Mr.. Debs, attempted
to show the money was given to
McDonough merely in philanthropy
This the recipient of the money EN-
phatcally denied.
Judge Pollock ruled that the aft
davit upon which the whole trouble
was founded was not worth anytime
as evidence in the case, as its IN
PRODUCTION in court would not tend
to prove the innocence of the defend
ants of the charge of sending scut
rilous matter through the mails.

has been continued until after twt
minor cases, which will consume the
rest of the week, are disposed of.
