NORRIS CASE NEARING CLOSE
Expected Arguments Will Be Finish
ed Today Then Co to Jury

Fort Worth, Texas, April 22.-Argu-
ments We're begun in the Rev. ].
Frank Norris perjury case today.
States Attorney George Hozey began
his address to the jury this
morning at 10 o'clock and will be fol-
lowed this afternoon by Attorney
o. S. baltimore of the defense. Six
hours are allotted each side for argu-
ment.
1t is expected the case will so 20
the jury tomorrow night.
Attorney George Hozey of the pros
| ecution pictured Rev Norris as a
seeker of notoriety and as having an
ambition to go on the lecture plat
form. He declared DR.. Norris sought
by an article which he wrote to the
"X-Ray" to cause his enemies to talk
about him and that after the sensa-
tional incidents which followed he
could free himself from blame. Rev.
Norris wanted to build a great insti-
tutional church in Fort Worth, the
attorney said, the name of whose
builder would he known everywhere.
These We're his motives, Hozey de-
clared
Attorney baltimore for the defense
cited previous plans to build a new
church and the activity of the church
board in this regard. The attempt of
DR.. Norris to keep the alleged at
tempted shooting at the church from
being made public, he offered as
proof that Rev. Norris is not a noto-
riety seeker. The torn half sheet
OF paper alleged to have been found
in Rev. Norris home, the torn edge
of which fitted an anonymous letter
the preacher received, the declared
evidence that . conspiracy existed
against DR. Norris.

The work of Mr. Luthcr Randol,

thorough manner in which he acted
his part together with the perfec-

DICK H|CN|CHT
FOR SHERIFF
WELL KNOWN CATTlEMAN AND
FARMER ANNOUNCES cANOI.
DACY FOR SHERIFF.

In this issue of the Ardmoreite
! Will be found the announcement OF
Dick Hignlght for Sheriff of Carter
County. Mr. Hignisht announces sub.
Ject to the democratic primary and
expects to stand or fall with what
the democratic party decides at the
primary election. 1t has been known
for some time that he would be in
the running, and he makes this form.
al announcement so that his friends
all over the county may know not to
peleHe any report that may be CIR
culated to the contrary.
DICK is now and has always been a
democrat, and in his own way has
worked for the interests of the dem.
ocratic party. He does not RELY on
his democracy entirely, however good
it may be, as emitting him to this
office; he maintains that there are
other requisites which a man should
possess before asking for an office.
and that is a fitness to perform the
duties incumbent upon the office in
the most efficient manner and at the
greatest saving to the public treas.
ury. And on these principles he asks
the votes of the democrats of Carter
county. He has enough experience
as an officer for the people to know
that he will never be lacking In dill
igence of his duties. Dick is an old
resident of this county, having spent
practically all of his years here, ana
whatever he has done or said is be
fore the people. He was born in Tex
AS forty years ago and came to Ok
lahoma at the age of ten, and has
been closely acquainted with the af-
fairs of Oklahoma prior to and sue
ceeding statehood. He comes as near
knowing every road and cow-trai in
Carter county as any other man. He
is well known all over the county,
and he makes this announcement on
ly after carefully consulting with his
friends in all portions of the coun-
ty, who have decided that he can rep
resent the interests of hte people of
this county in the sheriffs office bet
ter than any other man. The people
will remember Dick as a candidate
for this office two years ago, and he
ran a close second; he is waging the
same fight now he did then for the
performance of the duties of public
servant and honesty in respect to the
public's welfare
Mr.. Hignight is farmer and stock
man, and resides about five miles
northeast of Ardmore. He IS going
to make this race strictly on his own
merits, and his friends say if he can
carry with him into office the same
spirit of fairness and courage that
have characterized his everyday life
he will make Carter county an Off
Ger of whom to be proud

against the efforts OF the state to

1t developed during the inquiry
that many OF the companies pa'd a
royalty to the federal government be
iCre statehood, bnt since the admia-
sion of the state to the union no
royalty has been paid by any OF
them. The state has recently in

The sand companies refuse TO rec

and are attempting to preserve tbs

would not do so.
Governor Cruce stated that he lid
not believe he would favor any
