Man Claims He Is
in Pen for Crime
Another Paid for

704 Metropolital Bank Building.
WASHINGTON. May 4.-Ac-
cording to petitions presented to
the department of justice, John
Ireland, of Hugo, Okla, is serv-
ing term in the penitentiary
for a crime to which another
man confessed. was convicted
and sentenced to serve ten years
in the penitentiary:
Ireland was convicted of muir
der in the federal courts of the
old Indian territory about twelve
years ago. Thruout the course
of the trial he steadfastly main
tanned his innocence. On cir
cumstantial evidence, however,
he was convicted and sentenced
for life.
According to the allegations
made by the petitioners. one of
whom is the wife of the muir
dered man, another confessed,
and was sent to the penitentiary
for ten years and served out his
term, and now Is at liberty.
Just why Ireland was never
given his liberty is not made
plain in the papers.
The case seems almost too
strange to be creditable.
