CHARGE OF MURDER IS
FILED AGAINST BAILEY
Youth Saved From Execution
at Hands of Greeks, May
Go to Electric Chair.

Saved by the police from being be
headed by a band Of Greek laborers
whom he is alleged TO have attempted
to rob last Saturday night. Garret
Cotton Bailey now faces the posi-
bility of going to his execution In the
electric chair at McAlester. On a
warrant charging murder and conioint
highway robbery, Bailey was taken
from the city to the county Jail yes
terday and will be arraigncd for pre-
liminary hearing before Justice Ed
Warren next Thursday.
Bailey still sticks to his declaration
made at the time of his arrest that he
had no part In any holdup and that
he had nothing to 90 with the killing
of John DObroff. II Is for the KIN
ing of Dobroff. which occurred dur
ing a ree-for-all fight in the camp
OF Greek pipeline labocers Saturday
night, that he is held on the charge of
murder And on the statement OF
the Greeks that Bailey was one of
four masked men who precipitated
the fight by attempting to hold them
up is based the robbery part OF the
charge.
According to l'ailey's story, he was
gambling with a number Of the Greeks
when they became infuriated over
their losses and started trouble. He
denies any holdup was attempted.
Police say he failed to devlate from
his original story altho closetci for
a long time yesterday afternoon with
his father. John Bailey and Chief
Lucas. The police have looked in
vain for two other men whom they
say Bailey declared went with him
TO the Greek camp Saturday night.
The condition OF Neledon Gicull and
Christ Vangaloff, who are in the hos
pital because OF wounds received In
the battle was reported improved last
night. Attending physicians expressed
belief that they would recover.
