JOHN SMITH CHARGED
! WITH MURDER OF HIS
WIFE is REL LEASED
At PRELIMINARY TRIAL

John Smith, of Hewitt, who was
being held by the county authorities
on a charge of killing his wife, was
set free by decision of Judge WIN
frey, at the conclusion of the pre-
liminary hearing yesterday afternoon
Smith was arrested after his wife
had been fatally shot, on October
90. at the home Of the Smiths in
the Hewitt oil field, where Smith
is engaged in the confectionery busi-
ness.
The attorney for the defense, j
3. Champion, of the firm of Cham
pion and George, attempted to prove
that the shooting was accidental, and
that the wound was self-inflicted. A
letter was introduced and read as
evidence. 1t was statement signed
by the dead woman, and stating
that she missed some money, anc
that the shooting was accidental anc
the bullet self-inflicted.
The prosecution attempted TO prove
that if the wound had been self-in'
flicted, the powder marks would have
been apparent on the clothes OF tne
dead woman. However, it was nc
brought out whether or not powder
marks were apparent, the witnesses
testifying in this connection that the
clothing was soiled and Of q mixed
texture, so as to make any powder
marks, If there were any, invisible tC
sight.
Seven witnesses We're called to th'
stand, besides the defendant Sev
eral of them, who were acquainted
with the Smiths personally, testified
that Smith was man Of good char
acter. The chief of police at vii
son, stated that at one time. Mrs
Smith had informed him that 'an
other woman had come between he
husband and herself and that sh
asked for police protection. How

ton was taken in the matter, and out
side of that one incident, the police
had never had occasion TO be called
TO the attention of any actions OF
the Smiths until the day Of the shoot
ing.
Defendant on Stand
The defendant was the last person
TO be called to the stand, and he re-
lated the story of the shooting. Speak
ing in a confident manner, Smith
stated that they had been married
for four years. His wife, he said.
had been ill, suffering from some in
ternal troubles for four weeks prior
to her death, and she had made re-
peated visits to a doctor in the vi
cinity of their home. He had ac-
companied her to the physician's OIL
flee several times. The physician had
informed him that his wife was
worried and would regain her normal
health in a very short time. How
ever. continued Smith, she was dis
consulate, and expressed wish to
come to Ardmore to consult with
DIR. Cowles. at the Hardy sanitarium.
"I Immediately told her | would
lock up the store and that she should
dress up and we would go to Ard
more" he said.
Continuing. Smith stated that they
came TO Ardmore, and consulted with
DR.. Cowles, who informed them that
he would come TO Hewitt to continue
treatment. Together they left the
office of the doctor, and at the re-
quest of his wife, Smith took her
to a store, where she purchased two
music records. One of them, stated
Smith. was the funeral march.
At this point of his story, Smith
broke down and began to cry. His
attorney called to him to brace up
and continue.
With little effort, Smith began
to speak again.
They went home. Smith said, and
when they arrived there, his wife
played the records on the machine
! and after she had finished she threw
the funeral march record to thu
ground and broke ii To pieces She
was very morose, and stated that she
was going out to buy some chloro
/ form and put both herself and hel
husband to death. Smith held hel
back and in order to divert her mint
from her purpose. took her out autt
riding for several hours. After th'
