the time having been especially set
aside by Judge Champion for the pur-
pose. Prior TO this morning. there
had been an edict issued by the court
authorities. that no interior photo
graphing would be permitted.
An interesting phase of the state of
Oklahoma VS.. Clara Smith Hamon
case which has not been discussed as
yet, but which is believed will be
brought out by the prosecution dur
ing the trial, is the statement that
the defendant had several times prior
TO the actual wounding and killing Of
Hamon, attempted TO take his life in
similar manner, namely, with a re-
volver. This information was greatly
strengthened, when a prominent local
oil man, who is a witness for the
prosecution in the case, this morning
remarked that he knew of instances
wherein the defendant ehad threatened
Hamon. and that he had proof to this
effect. This oil man further stated
during the conversation. that he was
undecided as to whether or not he
would volunteer the information con-
cerning these acts when called upon
the stand, but would willingly relate
them If asked TO do so.
Citizens OF Ardmore. who have been
discussing the case as to its present
merits and final outcome during the
past few weeks. seem now to have put
the matter to n question, and are all
awaiting the decision al the court
before expressing themselves in open
manner as heretofore. Fear that
they will he called as witnesses IN
the case If they are overheard in their
remarks has slenced some, while 9th.
ers do not wish to expose themselves
to joshing reputation after the case
Is over II is a known fact that
some of the witnesses who have been
subpoeaned were called because they
have been overheard in making GER
tain remarks concerning the Gaze.
The prosecution in the case is maxi
ing every effort to prevent a Sympa-
thetic display by the defense for the
benefit Of the jurymen. The table
and chairs in the courtroom which
the defendant and her corps uf at
torneys are to be seated, were origi-
n0ly in u position which would have
placed the defendant within few
feet of the jury box. This position
changed when attorney II. II. Brown.
for the prosecution, arrived, and de-
fendant was seated furthof from the
jury box.
Something unheard Of before in the
