cial tax. He was tried, convicted
and sentenced to serve two years
imprisonment. On the trial of the
case, however, Joe Herndon was a
witness and testified that from the
22nd to the 10Th of the month. and
during the time when the offensc
of which Nugen was charged is
said to have been committed, that
he was driving team for a livery
firm in Fannin county, Texas, and
that during all that time he was
driving Nugen in that state and
produced receipts to show wherein
Nugen had paid him $l7 for his
work. Despite this evidence, Nu-
gen was convicted and information
was filed against Herndon for peri.
ury. An employe of the government
then working with w. X. Hignight,
deputy United States marshal, re-
signed his position and was em-
ployed by the interior department.
He went to New Mexico and long
time after that he was assigned to
duty on an Indian reservation on the
Colorado line. There was land
run there and among the crowd he
saw Herndon, who had escaped |
from this locality after the case
was brought against him. He rec
ognized Herndon, arrested him and
brought him back to Oklahoma.
He was tried last week with the re-
suit above stated. The men who
kept the livery stable where Hern-
don said he had been work
ing in Texas, we're witnesses
in the trial at McAlester and showed
that he was not driving for them,
