These lines of Longfellow from
"The Skeleton in Armor" are not,
after all, to become obsolete or
relegated to the limbo Of for

law Of the land Of the Mortimer.
This news was cabled today to

no time in giving it to the world.

Iceland has been held up by

Ulster Army Formed.
(By The United Press.

Belfast, Feb. 9.-An Ulster army
said to be 5000 strong. has moved
TO the frontier separating the north
crn province from the south.
This army. according to reports
reaching here. is composed OF police
and troops as a nucleus with volun-
teers from civilian walks OF life.
A first line Of defense has been
strung out along the border render
ing Ulster practically impregnable
against attack by the extremists OF
the Irish republican army. The re-
lease OF the Ulster captives, who
were Kidnapped yesterday, is ex'
pected to follow this military move.
Word was received Wednesday
evening that all the men who had
been taken prisoners by the raiders
in Sligo were released during the
afternoon.
Those who were kidnapped In Sligo
carly in the morning by bands oil
young men In motors, a Sligo corre-
spondent reported, included Alder

Ballew. both members of prominent
commercial firms, all of whom were
removed to an unknown destination
The houses OF others we're visited,
but the occupants were away.
The correspondent adds 1t is sup
rosed the raid was in reprisal for
the failure of the Ulster authorities
to release the Londonderry pris-
cners.
The manifesto of Sir James Craig,
Ulster premier, reads in part as
follows:
"Had the British government
shown courage and prescience, this
would never have happened. Iplace
the responsibility on their shoulders
for having demobilized the special
colstabulary in consequence of the
truce.
"This series OF dastardly outrages
will never be forgotten; it merely
strengthens our determination that
what Ulster has she holds"

GOBLIN TRIAL IS
SET IN WALTERS
BY LOCAL JUDGE
Alleged Murderer OF Lawton Taxi
Man Wins Third Point In Legal
Battles; Case 10 Be Tried
Next April.

After examination OF so witnesses
called TO testify whether bias and
prejudice against the defendant ex.
isted In Comanchc county. Judge
VIII Linn of this city granted Cleo
". Goblin. alleged murderer,a change
OF venue In the comanchc county
district court yesterday. The local
jurist was designed TO sit as special
trial Judge in the case. Judge A. S.
Wells having been disqualified.
Under Judge Llnn's order. the
case Is transferred TO Cotton county
for trial. IL IL expected TO be regu.
larly assigned on the court calender
and probably will be tried during
the term. which begins the first Mon
day In April.
In making his decision. Judge Linn
held that the defendant could not
receive fair and Impartial trial In
comnnche county. He also stated
that a venire of from $50 TO 500
men would have to be summoned In
order TO obtain a jury which would
cost. the state In the neighborhood o.
$4,000 Judge Linn said the grant.
ing Of change OF venue meant no
reflection on the citizens of the
county.
He stated In making his decision
that he had heard more murder
cases than any other district Judge
now on the bench in the state. but
that In all the eight years he has
boen district judge none OF the cases
had such peculiar conditions as ex-
list in the Goblin case.
Goblin is charg,o 'll the murder
of Russell Sprague, Lawton serv-
ice car driver. in March, 1921. He
was tried in the district court at
Lawton last April and convicted by
a Jury which sentenced him to death
by electrocution. The case was ap-
pealed and the trial decision re-
versed by the criminal court of ap-
peals at Oklahoma City last October.
Granting of the change Of venue is
the third victory for Goblin in the
appeal case, he having obtained dis
qualification of Judge Wells in the
case last Saturday.
Another stay of execution for VIII
TAFT who also received the death
sentence in district court last April
will in all probability, be granted
by Governor Robertson so TAFT may
testify in the Goblin trial. TAFT was
to die in the electric c..n:r
at McAlester on March 10.
Goblin is now confined to the Com
anche county Jail and will likely be
held there until his trial comes up
in April, officials said. Transfer Of
the case to Cotton county will pre-
sent difficulty to officers, the
jail not being in good con-
dition and will mean placing OF an
extra guard over Goblin and TAFT
while there or else transferring them
back and forth from Lawton to
Walters each day during the trial.
Judge Linn returned to Chickasha
last night. He left this morning for
Anadarko where he is holding a
term Of court.
