ANOTHER DELAY FOR BABER !
Murder Trial Set for Next Monday
VIII Probably BE Postponed.

There is little prospect of the Baber
trial beginning next Monday as sched-
uled. Owing to Baber's chief counsel
being occupied with the Sharp suit
in superior court, which will last at
least two weeks longer. it is prac-
tlcally certain that the murder case
will not be taken up before the trial is
concluded.
Application will be made TO Judge
w. j. Campbell. who has been as
signed to hear the Baber case. when
he arrives in Tulsa next Monday, to
grant another continuance. The trial
was postponed for two weeks by
Judge Campbell on April IL. At
torneys agree that a hearing of the
Baber case with the defendants coun-
sci unable to be present would be
grounds for a new trial or possibly
inyalidate the entire case.
