JURY ACQUITS
CLARA HAM0N
Only One Ballot Needed
To Free Politician 8
SLAYER

ARDMORE. Okla, March 49,
Mrs. Clara Smith Hamon was ac-
quilted of the murder of Jake L. Ha-
mon, Republican National committee
man and millionaire railload AID oil
lDagnate, by the jury late Thursday
Her plars Cor the future were uu-
certain. bat she has offers to SO into
vaudeville and motion pictures, as
we'll as dozens of offers Of marriage.
She will probably first. go to the
bedside of her father at El PasO, who
is very i'll.
The jury was given the case al
4: 80 p. M. and returned to the court
room forty minutes later. 3. F. C.
Laughridge, rs years old, foreman,
said only one ballot was taken, Sc
cret one, confirmed by rising vote.
Clara Hamon obtained the infor-
nation fully seven minutes before the
verdict was rendered in open court,
and sat, surrounded by members of
her family, half smiling, half afraid
to believe the mods of assurance that
were bent toward her.
When Judge Thomas w. Champion
mounted the bench and received an
affirmative response to his question,
Gentlemen, have you reached ver-
dict?" her eyes followed the motions
of the bailiff as he received the ver-
dict from Mr.. Laughridge and hand
ed it to the clerk to read.
Clara Hamon gasped audibly in the
tensely silent court room, drooped
forward IN her seat, only to be seized
from behind by her youngest brother
Jimmie" squeezed violently and
Kissed. Tears came to her eyes and
the other members of her family
cried with her as she crossed to the
standing jurors and halt;ngly thanked
them for their verdict.
i am the happiest woman in the
world" she said.
She used a secret passage from
the court room to escape from tho
crowds which threatened. to over
whelm her with congratulations.
none OF the members of the fam
lly OF Jake L. Hamon was in the court
room when the Jury returned its ver-
Dict. Mrs. Hamon, the widow, and
her 'l9-year-old son, Jake L., Jr..
left when the case was placed in the
Jury'S hands. Mrs. Hamon at that
time was in tears.
Mrs. Hamon attended all sessions
Of the trial, except two, clad in deem
mourning and sitting directly oppo-
site Clara Hamon, thirty inches
away.
Not once during the entire trial
which began a week ago yesterday,
did the two women appear to be-
come conscious of each other. excenf
ON the days when they testified when
each regarded the other closely.
