ARDMORE, Okla, March 9.-Clara
Smith Hamon strolled down Main street
today and didn't attract any more atten-
ton than the cowboy cop tramping his
beat.
On any of the hundreds of other Main
streets In the country crowds would have
gaped and fingers would have been point
ed at Jake lannon's chic girl, who stands
trial for his murder tomorrow.
But Main street In Ardmore is Main
street in Ardmore and not comparable
to any other in the country.
The South meets the West and forms
Ardmore. This town of 20OG0 10 typi-
cally Southern in It's aspect, WITH a dash

Of Circuit Court today refused to per-
NIT J. w. Haley, an attorney, 415-41o Law

In which he was the plaintiff while the
case was in progress.
Judge Chamberlin held that the pro-
posed amendment would entirely alter the
principle upon which the suit was based
Some days ago Judge SOlon J. Carter
OF Superior Court, room 3, declared he
would refer Mr.. Haley to the grand jury
and to the indianapolis Bar Association
for investigation, following certain de-
yelopments In a case in which Mr.. Haley
was counsel. No report has been made
as yet from the grand jury or the bar
association.
In the suit Mr.. Haley was trying he
asked Judgment of 500 from Harry C..
Stevens for damages and alleged breach
of contract.
Mr.. Haley dismissed the suit in the
middle of the hearing.

ted out again today by Judge James A.

piled in the case Of Willard Troutman.

the South and West are not all wrought
up over she case. A conviction, perhaps,
would cause a slight ripple; then Ard
more would go back to work coaxing oil
out of the ground and raising turbulent
crops of politics.
Years ago Jake Hamon moved into the
Randol Hotel, on Main street, with a
woman who was not his wife-Clara Smith
HRmon.
Tongues did not wag them out OF town :;
the morals commission did not call on
them. Ardmore figured that was jake
and Clara's business and then went about
its own affairs.
OF course, Jake Hamon and Clara
Smith were counted in on the social af-
fairs OF the frontier community.
