committed murder with a shotgun
while holding UP card game at Fort
Smelling on March 81. heard the words
which sealed his fate, made no sign,
uttered not a syllable, then walked
quickly from the courtroom with his
guards. His wife and 8-months-old
baby, both of whom had sat with him
during the trial, were not with him
when Judge w. A. Cant pronounced
sentence, and court attaches said they
had returned to their home in st.
