King of Ozark MOOnShiners VIII
Be EleCfrOCufed Early FridQ!

Special TO The World.
LITTLE ROCK, Dec. 12.-Herbert
Sease, called the king OF the Ozark
moonshiners, awaiting death in the
electric chair Decem Der is for the
murder of r. b, Davidson, his Bax-
ter county neighbor, last May, has
revealed himself as a paradoxical
character. Davidson, the state
charged, had guided prohibition Of
ficers to a still on Sease's land few
days before he was shot from am
bush.
Sease, whose admitted moonshin-
ing activity extended over Baxter
county, Ark, his home, into Ozark
and Howell counties. Missouri, across
the state line, was a picturesque
character known throughout the sec
ton since his boyhood, as moon
sinner.
Unschooled, but Well Read.
Among the paradoxical phases OF
his life and character, as borne out
in his statements, are these:
He had only a smattering of
schooling IN a mountain country
school yet he is better read than
mo- college graduates. thoroughly
familiar with such masters as
Shakespeare. Pope, Emerson, Car
lyle. SChOpe nhauer and Noltaire.
knows history from the ancients 20
the World war and is cOnyersant
with contemporary English and
American writer's. His wife, whom
he married "A years ago, is the
rraudlte Of small state college
and was a school teacher before hel
marriage.
He talks like and has the man
ner OF a gentleman and a man OF
the world. yet he Is unkempt in ap-
pearance and had scarcely been out
Of the ozark hills until he wai
brought TO the penitentlary.
He does not believe in the Bible
except the parts corroborated by
history, yet he Knows 1t better thar
most church members and quotes 4
aptly and accurately.
Taught sunday school Glass.
He does not believe in immor
tality or a divine being, Yet III
taught childFen's Sunday schoo
class in his neighborhood for more
than year without missing a sun
day.

Dear Mr.. Walton: We won the election for
you, Just how, we don't have TO say, but ! for
one done lots Of talking and other work OF dif-
ferent kinds, now there are three promises you
must keep.
First, kick the Daily Oklahoman out Of the
state, and turn the building over TO the Okla
homa Leader. You promised II would elect
you mayor OF Oklahoma City you would put the
Oklahoman out Of business. Then you said we
would have TO elect you governor and we have.
Now do hope we won't have TO elect YOU TO the
United states senate for you 10 keep your prom
ise for believe me 1t is hard work talking SO
much.
Second, put Bin Petite In the pom for he is
a disgrace to any place he lives in.
Third, see that Governor Robertson never
comes 10 trial for you know they are persecut-
ing him, There lots OF other promises
can't think OF now, but these three are the most
important When you fulfil them you viii have
rendered the state great service. As Cor Fred
Dennis, yoI can wait about bringing him back
Now about the barbecue you bet your socks
I will be there, oyCralls and all / am in Tulsa
