NOT GUILTY IS VERDICT
FOR CLARA SMITH HAMON
Continued from Page one)

to counsel. A jury was obtained in
less than six hours.
Tho states case was based on al
legged dying statements OF Mr.. Hamon
in which he was alleged as having said
he had been shot by Clara Hamon as
he lay in the bed OF his room in a
hotel.
Mr.. Hamon was declared in testi-
mony to have said that Clara Hamon
came to his bedside, placed his left
hand on his forehead and fired into his
body with a tiny automatic pistol
Clara lannon's defense was built
without a plea of self-defensc and jus
tifiable homicide. In her testimony
she did not deny she pointed the pis-
tol at him, saying she feared for her
life, but asserted the weapon was dis
charged when Mr.. Hamon struck her
with n chair and that tho bullet was
fired AS the chair hit the pistol or as
1t fell from her hand under the blow.
On his closing argument for the
state today Attorney General F'reeling
attempted to break down her plea for
self defense He took the pistol In his
hand to show. he said. that IL could
not be discharged by a blow and that
IL hand holding 1t was struck. the
muzzle of the weapon would fly up
while the course of the bullet thru
Mr.. lannon's body was downward.
Many times during the trial Clara
Hamon and Mrs. Jake Hamon wero in
tears and on two or three occasions
cried in unison. once when the bullet
pierced blood stained shirt and under
garments worn BY Mr.. Hamon were
introduced.
Today they cried when Mr.. Freezing
upheld the belief that Mr.. Hamon in
his last few moments had repcntcd for
his sins.
Arguments of the members OF the
defense counsel and tho closing argu-
ments OF Mr.. Freezing occupied all OF
today's sessions.
Tho defense attacked the Hamon In
terests, alleging a fight against Clara
Hamon was made by tho Hamon mil
lions. In which tho millions OF asso-
ciates were allied.
Governor j. II. A. Robertson of Ok
lahomn. also was assailed for having
sent the attorney general here to pro-
secute the case, asserting his action
was unique.
Mr.. Freezing upheld the governors
action asserting that It was proper be-
cause tho county attorney. ]. H. Math-
crs, had been retained as defense
attorney before he assumed office.
Mr.. Frecling denied defense allega-
tions OF politics and that the Hamon
interests had brought undue pressure
on Governor Robertson.

Being somewhat conversaDt with

my duty to warn those who are

In such stock that they are taking
great chances on getting any re-
turns on their inves ments. The
hush production in the townsite
well is thing Of the past. The lit
