ARDMORE, Okla. March 20.-The
acquittal of Clara Smith Hamon on
charge Of having killed Jake L.
Hamon, oil king, can have but one
ultimate result-the "legalizing of
polygamy to take the place of the
affinity system"
This was the opinion Of the verdict
as expressed by the widow Of the
slain oil magnate. She today said
Society condones that woman
evidently. 1t has said so in so many
words: III young and beautiful
woman can steal a man from his wife
and children and get away with IT,
why punish herr 1t just means that
society will soon demand for men the
privilege of marrying as many women
as they please.
"Mr. Hamon might as well have had
two wives. 1t wouldn't have hurt me
any more had he married her. And
he might as well have. After one
generation of polygamy women would
probably get used to II and not suffer
as they do under the affinity system"
