A few days ago, Theo. Torgerson,
local contractor, took contract
to do some painting for a promi-
nent oil man at the oil fields-send-
ing his supplies out. by rail, he later
in the day saddled his horse and
rode to that new town, thinking in
hie spare moments he would ride
over the oil fields, and take a per-
sonal view of that remarkable 10
cality that has done so much to
put Ardmore on the map.
Arriving at his destination he put
his horse in a pasture to Craze
never thinking that the horse would
leave.
1t seems that "old Dobbin" be-
came homesick and decided that he
would come back to familiar scenes,
and with that idea permeating his

thought that some neighbOr would

and his guess was correct, for a
man who CHANGED to know the horse

who the owner was, and that the
horse was on his way home, so
to give the horse a chance, they
turned him loose, but before doing
so. placed a tag around his neck
which read: II am on my way

hearty whaCk and headed him to-

stinct the horse came to the city
and stopped in front of Farthing
Bros. establishment where he was
soon found by one of the proprie-

not be so far wrong. "at that"

DER DEATH SENTENCE.

Oklahoma City, April Newton
Henry, Oklahoma City negro, now
confined in the penitentiary at Nc

on April for the murder of Charles
Lucas, another negro, in Packingtown
in 1911, may be released from prison
execution and without executive elem.
ency.
Henry was convicted in the Oklaho-
ma county district court and sentenc-
ed to hang by the neck until dead"
Since his conviction the Oklahoma
statute relating to capital punishment
has been amended by the legislature
tute electrocution in the penitentiary
at McAlester.
Technically and legally Henry is
sentenced to be hanged in Oklahoma
county. He is not under sentence to
law there can be no legal hanging in
the state. All death penalties must
be paid in the electric chair at the
McAlester penitentiary. Therefore,
the question presented is, how can
Henry be hanged by the state when
the law of the land says there can be
no legal hangings, and how can he be
electrocuted when his sentence reads
that he shall hang by the neck until
dead in the Oklahoma county jail
yard?"

Opinion of Attorneys.

opinion among attorneys ana some
state officials is that Henry has de.
cidedly the best of the peculiar legal
complications.
An application for a writ of habeas
corpus, by which Henry will get his
freedom will be made to the federal
court some time before the date sci
for his execution, according to an
nouncement of James S Twyford, at.
torney for Henry Twyford did not
represent Henry in the trial at which
he was convicted and sentenced, but
has been retained TO represent him in
his present fight for life and free
dom
1t is said that the supreme court OF
the United States has decided a case
that parallels the case involving Hen.
rvs fate. This decision will be cited
it is said, as the grounds for granting
the habeas corpus for Henry. If this
opinion is followed, Henry will be a
free man, it is said and not through
the grace of executive clemency.
What is Certain.
In any event it is certain that Hen
ry will not be put to death on the
date set for his execution. In the first
place the state has no electric chair.
The bill substituting electrocution for
hanging made an appropriation OF
$500 to purchase the necessary death
dealing equipment but this amount, 1t
has been learned, is insufficient to
purchase a chair Then, Governor
Crnce has decclared repeatedly that
the death penalty in any form will
never be legally executed while he is
governor and vested with the author
ity of committing death sentences.
At the time the legislature passed
the bill substituting electrocution for
hanging, it was thought by some that
inasmuch as electrocution was con-
sidered less barbarous than hanging,
it might alter the governors ideas in
reference to capital punishment, but
not so.
If YOU are going to kill people le'
gally, the guillotine is as good a way
as any said the governor.
Henry's sentence has not been com
muted. The governor stated Wednes
dav that he would not commute the
sentence so long as the negro's fate
was involved in the present litigation
If the governor should commute thy
sentence it is considered by some that
if might further complicate the situa
tion. and perhaps deprive Henry OF
whatever advantage he may have as
a result of the present complications
