Garvin County Court.
Especial to The Ardmoreite)

PAULS VALLEY-R. O. Peevy, who
was charged with the murder OF Frank
Pruett, Ardmore oil man, was found
not guilty by a jury here last night
after being out only AZ minutes.
One hundred and fifty witnesses were
called during the two days that testi.
mony was taken. Argument in the
case started at the opening of court
Friday morning and did not finish
until 2 o'clock Saturday. Bitterness
between the attorneys was evident dur.
ing the arguments which dwelt az
length upon the lives and characters OF
the principals.
The defense was based on q plea Of
insanity and the unwritten law. The
evidence went into the domestic life
OF the Peevy family as we'll as that OF
the dead man. Mrs Peevy, wife OF the
accused man, was one OF tho principal
witnesses and in her testimony told OF
living clandestinely with Pruett in Ard.
more on several occasions.
The defense Is represented by J. T.
Blanton, Monroe Osborn, and John NJ.

At the same time, the defense will
present a motion for n separate trial

Most OF the business buildings in

While the city OF Mexia is more or

proper is confined to a comparatively
small space and the principal business
houses were along Commerce street.
An adequate water supply has been
one Of the problems of the city. II
had sufficed when 1t was a town OF a

the fact that a well drilled near the

warmly affirmed as follow:
