JUDGE COMPELS
LAWYERS TO SPEAK
(By Associated Press)

Ardmore, Okla, March IL
Counsel for the defense began a
plea for the acquittal Of Clara
Smith Hamon, charged with the
murder of Jake L. Hamon, short
ly after the opening of court to-
day. Her attorney sought to
waive argument and submit the
case directly to the jury but the
court ruled the argument must be
made.
Joe Champion, twin brother Of
the Judge. opened the argument
for the defense. He referred to
Attorney General Freezing as a
high state official being sent
down here to prosecute a poor,
innocent country girl for shoot
ing millionaire. "When Jake
Hamon met her" Champion said.
"she was brown-eyed girl whom
he coaxed, lured and won. He
educated her. not that she might
serve him as a stenograpler. but
that she might yield to his brutal
passion"

ON THE JOB
BUT FIRE TRUCK FAILS
TEST Fire Alarm Indicates Effici-
ency of Central and Deficiency of
One-Ton Truck

A test" fire alarm was sounded
from the residence of d. G.. Dow, on
High street, at 500 o'clock yester-
day morning to test the hill climbing
ability of the new fire truck and the
efficiency of the telephone central in
sounding the alarm. The telephone
central did her part of the work in
highly satisfactory manner, and
had the fire bell iingling within sew
en- seconds of the time Mr.. Dow took
down his receiver to give the test
alarm The run of the fire truck,
however, indicated that the truck
has not sufficient power to serve the
demands of the people on the hills.
Harold Risley the paid driver of the
truck, was at breakfast when the
alarm sounded and the fire house
was locked. The lock was broken by
volunteer firemen and George Henry
volunteered to drive the truck up
High street to the supposed fire, Fire
Chief George Ewing being the only
passenger Eye witnesses state that
the truck stopped dead still under
the heavy pull on an average of every
IS feet after the middle of the hill
was reached, and was finally pushed
over the summit by footmen. A lat
Ell attempt to make the hill, after the
engine was thoroughly warmed up,
also failed.
The truck is one-ton machine,
and the concensus of opinion is that
nothing less than two-ton truck
will be able to negotiate the Pullman
hills satisfactorily.
