lam Fl. Bruner, a widow, will not be
able to testify at the trial of Charles
Hudson, who is being tried in the
second division of the district court
on the charge OF killing her husband.
| When Ross Mccormick, county at.

the stand at the trial Wednesday,
Judge Sargent held that she could
not testify because her name had not
been placed on the information in the
case.
Until after the trial had started, Mr..
Mccormick did not know that Mr..
Bruner on his death-bed had made a
dying statement to his wife. He
found that such was the case and that
Bruner is reported to have told his
wife how Charles Hudson came to
shoot him. The defense objected to
allowing her to testify, on the ground
that it would be a surprise to them.
All the states evidence in the case
was completed about 4 o'clock, and
several of the defenses witnesses
were put on the stand before court ad.

character Of Hudson since he has re-

men were near by They testified
that the men quarreled about a re-
mark made by one of them and that
Hudson called Bruner name.
Charles Phillips said that he tried to
separate the men and that Bruner was
killed in trying to protect himself.

GUSHING POSTMASTER
IS FREED BY COURT
CASE AGAINST A. H. HOLLAND
n. FORMER POSTMASTER IN OIL
TOWN, DISMISSED

On motion Of Judge Frank Dale, the
indictment against A. Fl. Holland,
former postmaster Of Gushing, on a
charge OF embezzlement of postal re-
ceipts, was dismissed, in federal
court yesterday, by United States
Attorney John A. Fain. 1t is possible,
however, that another indictment
will be returned against Holland.
Holland was postmaster at Cush-
ing prior and during the oil boom
days. When the big rush came he
was without help to take care of the
vastly increased business and on his
own initiative he hired help to dis
patch the work, paying them salaries
from the receipts Of the office. 1t ap-
pears that a careful account Of the
expenditures was not kept, and when
the government inspector took charge
of the office Holland was checked up
short.
