Up to a late hour yesterday,
The colored woman who escaped
from st. Josephs' Hospital, fol-
wing the shooting and cutting
aff,ay at the house at 430
Grand Avenue, Monday, had
ot been apprehended.
The two soldiers, "Slim''
Rogers and J. C. Alexander, are
sill in custody of the military
authorities and there seems to
be some difference of opinion
IS to who should prosecute
them, the civil or. the military
uthorities.
County Attorney Leslie Hardy
believes, according to an inter-
view with the "Oasis," that
they should be tried by the mill
tary authorities, as the men are
members of the military police
and it would save the county
that much needless expense.
The military authorities, on
their part, are willing to turn
the prisoners over to the civil
authorities, as the affair oc-
CURED outside the jurisdiction
of the military reservation.
The civil police sustain the
stand of the military. Chief Jay
Lowe points out that an affair
Of this kind would only come
under the jurisdiction Of the
Military in time of war. 1t oc-
Cured in time of peace away
from the military camp, he says,
and the prisoners should right
fully be turned over to the civil
authorities for prosecution.
The women who were killed
and wounded respectively were
Delma Rogers and Mrs. J. C..

prisoners, The former was
shot through the body, it is

died in the hospital after an
operation had been performed in

her wounds dressed, escaped

tarday afternoon the case of
Godsey versus Sprung resulted
in the defendant being bound
over to the Superior Court, to
answer a charge of assault with
a deadly weapon preferred by
Mrs. L. c. Sprung, of Elgin.
The testimony of the two
principals was more or less con-
flicting at the time of the shoot
ing an argument over cattle
passing from the land of the one
to the pasture of the other lead
ing to shooting on both sides.
Godsey was represented by
Attorney S. F. Noon, and Sprung
by Prosecuting Attorney Les
lie Hardy.
Attorney Noon contended that
Sprung, when he found Godsey
on his land procured a shotgun
and fired at Godsey.
He said there was no neces-
city to cut the defendant on the
stand.
Attorney Hardy maintained
that Godsey was on Springs
land, without having asy right
there. Godsey, it is said, also
had in his possession both a
shotgun and a pistol, and had
no right to take the law into his
own hands at the point of a
gun, no matter what argument
arose.
