Indians Ask President
For Right of Ceremony

Demanding the right to carry on the
ceremonies OF their ancient religion of
kee-Doo- Wha. a delegation of full
blooded Cherokee Indians and Mrs. o.
X Kellogg. a full-blooded Iroauois,
called on President Wilson this morn
ing and urged the adoption Of pro-
vision in the Indian bill setting aside
an exclusive reservation for Cherokees
in oklahoma.
Mrs. kellogg. who did most Of the
talking is a beautiful type of indian
womanhood. She explained to the
President that the religion OF the In
dians is older than many of the Chris
tian creeds, and was practiced in thi S
country long before sny white man
reached the Western Hemisphere. The
present policy of the Bureau of Indian
Affairs, of allotting Indians lands scat
tered among white settlers, interferes,
she said, with the old customs. which
the Indians wish TO preserve. and for
that reason they have refused even TO
open the envelope from tho department
containing their allottments.

not the desire of the district attorney,
and that part of the order was stricken
out
My recollection is that there were no
arguments on the motion. l don't know
whether the court was absent or not.
When I again saw the motion after
fling it. it had been ove-rCied by JUS
tice Wright. who noted on the motion.
'Overruled for the reason that there is
no justification for the delay
L sought Chief Justice Shepherd and
explained the matter to him, and the
until had an opportunity to argue the
case on appeal. Later the higher court
affirmed the Judgment of the lower
court and Hamilton was hanged"
''On what ground did you seek a new
trial before Justice Wright" asked
Chairman Mccoy.
Il held that the indictment was IA
tally defective; that the trial judge erred
in admitting the expert testimony of the
prosecution and in failing to recognize
the testimony of the defense to show
insanity, which was my plea"
You said you talked with Justice
Wright about the stay in execution
asked Congressman Nelson.
Yes, sir
You understood him to say that he
would see Chief Justice Shepherd on
who was to pass on Your notion"
I understood so at the time
Delay Was Avoidable.
Had your bill of exceptions been pre-
pared promptly. the execution would
have been sufficiently remote to permit
arguments before the Court CT Appeals?''
suggested Attorney Darlington.
Yes. sir; l think so. II we had ex-
pedited the matter, We would have been
there in good time"
Had you come within the rule OF the
court on appeal matters, you would not
have had to expedite matters. and would
have been in timer
Yes. that's true"
At that time there was great uncer-
tainty as to which court had the right
cases were appealed. was there not?'
Yes. sir
was not some matter in that regard
referred TO the President for decision ?"
II don't recall that"
When YOU talked with Justice
Wright about the stay of execution, did
he not say that il was his view that
the Appellate Court mus pass on it?''
He might have said that. but 1 don't
remember"
"As a matter of fact. Justice Wright
signed the order and refused to grant
stays" interposed Chairman Mccoy.
Yes, sir" responded Mr.. David.
IF a money consideration had been
involved. it might have been that there
was no justification for a delay?"
Yes, sir
In your case il was a matter of
life and death, was 1t not?''
Yes, sir
Was there anything Unusual in YOUR
request for a delay in that one in
stanCe?'
No: | don't think So"
