WOODFORD TO SIT IN
INTERESTING CASE
Important Case Affecting
Right to Run Pool Hall
TO Be Decided.

Judge Jim Woodford is going to
sit as judge in an Interesting and
peculiar case Saturday morning. He
will be called upon to decide a point
of law which will be bitterly CON
tested by brilliant legal talent
The question which he must de-
eide Is whether or not a state law
granting authority to owners OF pool
halls to operate when there is an
ordinance in the town where the pool
hau is to be located prohibiting such
amusement parlOrs. II. Burke or
Broken Arrow has made application
at the judges office for permit to
open a pool hall at Broken Arrow
There never has been a pool hail In
the city, ordinances prohibiting the
opening of such q place
Attorneys for Burke will contend
that inasmuch as there is a state law
providing for pool halls that muuicl
palities have not the authority to pass
laws in direct conflict with the state
law
Yesterday afternoon there were %
applications filed in Judge Wood
fords office seeking to establish pool
halls. All of the applicants who made
their applications prior to June 20
will be given hearing today. only
in cases weber there are contests Will
there be any lengthy hearings. 1T
is merely a matter of form, sald
Judge WoodfOrd yesterday and unless
there is some opposition all the H.
censcs will be granted. Not one ap-
plication in contest had been filed
yesterday.

that The Republican has before carried

Where the People
May Have Hearing
THE FALTlN HEARING

To the Editor.
Believing that The Republican would
like to have a few of the inside facts
regarding the Faltin trial 1 hereby
give a few items not Yet published.
1t was Dr. Randall prison physician
who aWore that no man who possessed
$500 had ever been hung; at the same
execution Of a man who had much
time he was trying to prevent the
execution of a man who had luch
more which seems suggestive. A
statement by for physicians (eXpcrts)
was that all first degree murderers are
insg ne something that if true, will
revoiu;ionize Jurisprudence.
The sanity of Faltin was of secon-
Diary matter throughout the trial, the
reel issue easily discernable was Sims.
Shall Sims refusal to execute be up
held? Politics; politics; politics; at
every stage of the game. The judge of
the court asked the writer if he was
a strong supporter of Governor Hunt.
My answer was yes, when Governor
Hunt is right
Faltin's attorney asked ME if l
| thought Hunt and his administration
could do anything right. I only give
| these questions that the public may
know the truth of my statement when
| said it was Sims. not Faltin on trial.
Faltin is a shrewd, bright, well edu-
Gated, wen informed man, with an in
telect superior to most of the men who
testified to his insanity. He is a high
tempered, mean disposition Prussian.
| He is not dangerous except where
| there is a chance for money.
His killings, for I believe Peterson is
| not his first victim, were for money.
| He is ready to take all kinds of chances
| for money. Murder is not the motive,
| but the means of obtaining money
without work
| One expert based his judgment of
! insanity on his sardonic smile. A man
| Of extensive observation remarked that
| the witness had never seen the smile
| of Senator Ashurst or w. ]. Bryan. 1t
! is a law of moral philosophy that ore
| who commits a crime once or twice is
| apt to do the same again, and as Fal-
| tin has boastcd that he had been in
| closer places than this and got away
with it. it would seem that his luck
| was still with him. l would certainly
with all my power oppose the execution
of an insane man, but Faltin is sane.
