iff Jack Smith of Canadian
county today, Arthur Lumpkin.

connection with the shooting to
death of Miss Nadine Scott Of
Noble, Okla, near Yukon, Sun

Oklahoma City. May 31-Offcers
OF Canadian county and friends Of
Miss Nadine Scott. Of Noble. Okla
homa, who late Sunday night was
shot and killed while automobile rid.
ing with n party Of friends on the
state highway east Of Yukon, we're
unable today to solve the mystery, or
advance motivc for the crime. Miss
Scott was killed by a bullet fired
from a motor car containing two
men. who were forced to wait while
the car in which Miss Scott was rid
ing passed. A second shot following
the one which killed Miss Scott, lodg.
ed in the rear end of the car, Off.
GERS state.
The young men. George Moore and
Ben Allen, arrested shortly after the
trngedy by Sheriff Jack Smith of
Canadian county, are still held in the
FL Reno jail in connection with the
shooting.
r. F. Ellinger president OF the
First National Bank of Noble, who
went to FL Reno to investigate the
case, declared the empty shell of the
shot that killed the young woman
was found in the road near the scene
Of the shooting and fitted into the
1920 calibre rifle which was found in
the car containing Moore and Allen.
Anger at having to wait for the
car in which Miss Scott was riding
to pass, is the motive Officers of
Canadian county advance for the kill
ing. Jealous, which at first was
given as a reason, was not accepted
by Miss Scott's friends. who declare,
from their knowledge, she had no
enemies, nor had she ever quarreled
with any young men who might have
been jealous.
A farmer sitting on his front porch
not more than 100 yards from the
scene Of the shooting, said the car
from which the shot was fired had
stopped and the lights turned off.
He said the car in which Miss Scott
was riding came around a curve at
ordinary rate Of speed. The car
was about 100 feet beyond the car
that had stopped when the shot
that killed Miss Scott was fired,
piercing the back Of the car. passing
between the couple in the rear and
entering Miss SCOTS neck. killing her
instantly.
