Ardmore Willing To
 Protect Clara Smith

Continued from Page One) more, although he said his firm had not been in communication with her since she left Ardmore. In this con- nection MT. Coalxley said he wanted to make it plain that his firm had been retained by the four unnamed citizens to act for Miss Smith without any ref erence 10 her and that the firm claimed no connection with the young woman.
 MT. Mathers, the other member of the firm, becomes county attorney on January 1, in succession to Mir Brown, present county attorney, who has di- rected the search for Miss Smith and placed the charge of murder against her.
 Today's development of the case con- sisted only of the changing of the in- formation which in Carter county is the same as an indictment against Miss Smith. Mir. Brown filed ar in- formation charging assault to murder the day after Mir. Hamon was shot in the, hotel where he and Miss Snith had their homes. He had said that when Miss Smith whs found or indica- tions pointing fo her whereabouts be- ing known, he would change the charge to murder
 MuFuef, accOfdlng 10 the Oklahoma code, is a blanket charge covering all degrees of the crime, Mr Brown said The exact degree of murder is fixed at preliminary hearings usually, he said
 Sheriff Buck Garrett of Carter coun- ty, who said he was awaiting instruc- tions from Brown rega arding steps his department should take 3,t Fl Paso. to- day said he was in receipt of numerous letters and telegrams offering assist ance to Miss Smith.
 One telegram. he said. he had re- ceived from Oklahoma City, read as follows
 Satisfied Hamon on earth would want Clara protected. You can call on me for five hundred. If you see we should all get in behind the proposi- tion, will do my part"
 Sheriff Garrett said the telegram was from personal friend, but would not give his name and said Oklahoma City was not his home
 Sheriff Garrett said letters had been received from detective agencies in al parts of the country saying they had found the high powered red automo- bile Miss Smith was said to have driven. They don't seem to have found out her car was not red at al," the sheriff said

 Miss MacSwiney told the commission mat she and Mrs. Muriel MacSwiney, the lord mayors widow. had come from ireland to laid the commission in ob- taining the true facts" She made the prediction that Ireland would gain its freedom even though England had to be beaten to the ground" Her sister in-law will be heard tomorrow
 Miss MacSwiney punctuated her story of the movement for Irish free dom with the assertion that the United states had not lived LID to its ideal of making the world safe for democracy We are not disturbers," the witness said, I've want just to be left alone. We are not using coercion and we will not be coerced. We simply want Eng and to clear out; we'll forgive her of everything if she will only leave us alone.
 We are going to get our freedom, p 'he continued. That every Irish re- publican knows, for you cannot keep ri continual slavery a people every one pf whom is ready to die for his coun- ry."
 Miss MacSwiney recounted instances which she said proved that the British government was deliberately firing re- igious hatreds and added that there would be no religious differences if the 'rotestants and Catholics were left without outside interference.
 The Irish have not persecuted any pody. she asserted. adding that the peace and prosperity of the large Jew sh quarters in Cork and Dublin at- ested to that fact. The witness said hat where there are no black and tan ollce" there ''reigns peace and pros- perity and satlsfied population"

As far as is known, this marks the first time such a charge was ever brought in a local court. The charge was brought under a state statute that ap- plies to barbers, and to barbers only. Pawn shops, pool halls, grocery stores, cigar stands, soda water fountains and every other line of business may oper- ate on Sunday, but if a barber does a shaving business" on Sunday he is liable to arrest.
