Ardmore Awaits Word From orndorf,

Ardmore, Okla, Dec. 9.-The search
for Clara Barton Smith, wanted on a
charge of murder in connection with
the fatal shooting here Of Jake L.
Hamon, Ardmore oil magnate and
republican national committeeman,
slowed down at this end today while
the local authorities awaited word
from Sheriff Seth Orndorff, of Ell
Paso. Tex, that he knows definitely
where she is hiding.
Press dispatches have quoted Orn-
dorff as stating that he located the
young woman In Mexico, but that
upon the receipt of information from
Ardmore virtually declaring that she
was not wanted there did not proceed
farther.
The charge against Clara Barton
Smith in connection with the death
Of Jake L. Hamon was changed to
murder. The original charge was as
sault to kill and was placed the day
after Mr.. Hamon was shot and the
day Miss Smith left Ardmore.
The information was filed in the
court of Hal Cannon, justice of the
peace. It follows:
"On the 21st day Of November
Clara Smith Hamon did unlawfully
and maliciously and with the pre-
meditated design to effect the death
of one Jake L. Hamon shoot at and
against the body Of the said Jake L.
Hamon with deadly pistol-to wit:
pistol then and there loaded with
gunpowder and leaden bullets, there
by inf1icting mortal wounds, OF which
wounds the said Jake L. Hamon then
and there languished, and, languish-
ing, did, on the 26th day Of Novem-
Der. 1920, then and there die; which
said pistol the said Clara Smith
Hamon then and there held in her
hand"
Prosecutor Brown then sent the
following telegram to Sheriff Orndorf
at FL Paso, Tex:
Understand you have reliable In
| formation as TO whereabouts Of Clara
Smith Hamon. VIII you advise at
once? Please do not let anyone give
you the impression that we do not
want her here. We will take any and
! all steps to apprehend her when adj
vised by you that you know Of her
whereabouts"
! C. l.. Stone, representing q life in
surance company, said that he had
delivered to Frank l.. Ketch, ad-
ministrator of the Hamon estate, a
| check for 500, 900 covering an in
surance policy carried by Mr.. Hamon
and made payable to the estate.
