CAPTURE ESCAPED CONVICT.
Tried and Acquitted, Under Assumed
Name. Of Murder Charge,

Sheriff Buck Garrett and Deputy
Fred Williams yesterday picaed under
arrest one William Connolly, who
escaped from the McAlester peniten-
tiary on the 5th day of last Octo-
Der.
Williams was sent up on "A SEN
terce of seevral years from Marietta
Love county, for horse stealing. Last
October he managed. while working
outside of the prison walls, to get
some distance from the guards. when
he made his successful break for lib
erty. over twenty shots We're fired
at him as he fled, but he escaped
unharmed. The prison authorities put
blOodhounds upon his trail and they
got so close to him at one time that
he thought his capture was inevitable,
He succeeded, however, in giving all
the dogs, save one, the slip. This
dog trailed him until he came up
with him. Connolly caught him and,
with his bare hands, strangled him.
Unhampered by further pursuit, he
made his escape southwark
Since his escape las- october he
has wandered around the country,
never remaining long in one place,
A short time since, he was arrested
and, under the name of Jackson, was
tried and acquitted of a murder
charge in Marshall county.
Connolly seems to have a knack Of
breaking out of prison. While await
Ing trial on the charge of which
he was convicted in Love county he
broke Jail and remained at large
for some time. When captured, at
Reck, the officers were so close upon
him that he hid himself in a barrel
and but for the curiosity of one Of
the sheriff's posse to see what was
in seemingly empty barrel, would
have escaped final detection and sub
sequent arrest
When arrested by Sheriff Garrett
and Deputy Williams he was busy
cutting sprouts on some new ground
on a, farm where he was employed
in the southeastern part of this coun-
ty. He is now in the Carter county
Jail and will be taken to McAlester
with bunch of prisoners sentenced
at the present term of the district
court, sometime during the present
week.

Washington, D. c., May 2l-Sena-
tor Stone of Missouri in a speech in
the senate on Modern Damon and
Pythias,' referred to Taft and Roose-
welt. He said with them It had been
two souls with but a single thought,
two hearts that beat as one until
the Shiny poisonous serpent of amb-
ton crawled across the path they
were walking and divided them. Both
have tasted the bittersweet of pow
er and liked it over much. Both were
tempted and fell"
Stone said the country had never
seen such vaudeville stunts in poll
tics and devoutly hoped that it never
would again.

SENATOR DIXON SAYS
TAFT'S AWFUL LIAR
hoOSEVElT'S MANAGER SAYS
PRESIDENT WAS AT FAMOUS
TRUST CONFERENCE.

Washington, May pa statemen,
containing portions of a letter from
lormer Attorney General Bonaparte
III which he says Mr.. Taft as secre
'ary OF war. took part in the cabinet
| meeting at which it was decided to
withhold prosecution of the Interna
tlohaI Harvester company, because OF
the bureau OF corporations investiga
tion, was issued by Senator Dixon
from the Roosevelt national head
quarters today. The statement took
the form of an answer to that issued
from the White House last night by
Charles d. Hilles, secretary to the
president.
Nothing more despicable and de-
grading has ever occurred in the his
tory of American politics." SAYS the
statement, than the attempt of Mr..
Taft through deliberate, knowing
and sustaine falsehood, to repre-
sent the facts regarding the case of
the International Harvester COM
pany, and to avoid personal RESPONSE
bility for non-action in the courts by
the government against that company
The statement issued at the White
House last night is but a piece of the
mendacity that hah characterized the
entire Taft utterances on this sub
iect.
Mr. Taft and his managers have
sought menadciously to escape re-
sponsibility for Mr.. Tafts part in this
matter through the false pretense
that. because Mr.. Taft was out of the
country in the fall of 1907, he was
not in position to know about or
have anything to do with the matter
It is not only an affront to the INTEL
ligence of the American people for
him to say to them as he does, that
a man occupying the position in the
administration which he then occu-
pied, would not of necessity be thor
ouShly informed upon a matter of
such importance, but it is a positive
falsehood. Mr. Taft returned to the
United States from his trip around
the world in December, 1907. He was
present at the cabinet meetings in
January, 1908, and as Mr. oBnaparte's
letter shows, he not only took part
but the deciding part in the determi-
nation of the cabinet to postpone
pany pending the investigation by
the bureau of corporations"
