, lished law offices in Wewoka.
During his two terms as county
attorney, Mr.. Pryor developed. a
statewide reputation as a prosecutor
and in his subsequent private prac-
tice was identified with some of the
states most publicized criminal
cases.
He represented Seminole county
in the seventh legislature. While his
interest in politics continued, he re-
fused to again become a candidate
for office. In his prime he had few
equals on the political hustings, US
ually as a crusader and opponent of
the status quo, or before a jury
fighting for his client, a friend COM
mented today.
Many years ago Judge Pryor re-
tired from the practice of criminal
law, devoting his time and abilities
to his civil law practice. His last
widely-publicized criminal case was
his defense of Wiley Lynn, charged
with the murder at Cromwell Of the
veteran peace officer, Bill Tilghman.
For representing the leaders of
the Green Corn Rebellion" in Sem
mole county during World War ], he
was critized by many of his friends.
His answer to this criticism was:
"Any and every criminal is entitled
to legal counsel and to his day in
court. That's the constitutional guar
anty to every American citizen"
Immediately after the services, the
body was on its way to Ohio, accom-
panied by Judge Pryor's two sons,
DR.. Victor w. Pryor and Gale F.
Pryor, and by Bill Clayton of Hol-
denville and Fred Bowles of Ada.
Bowles is a longtime friend of the
deceased attorney. When the young
law student from Caldwell, Ohio,
came to the Indian Territory and To-
Gated at Konawa, Boyles was one of
the first citizens of the town he met.
They became intimate friends.
The cortege reached Dexter City
Monday night where the body rested
at the McVay- Schillings funeral
home until 1000 o'clock Wednesday
morning. Graveside services were
held at Ogles Ridge cemetery and
old friends and neighbors of the
family paid their respects. Rev. Ray
Swetnam was the officiating minis
ter.

AUDITOR McVAY
WILL NOT SEEK
SECOND TERM
Popular Official
VIII Bow From
County Politics

Noble County Auditor Ray McVay,
often times referred to as one of the
most popular men ever to hold public
office, is bowirS out of the political
picture in this county and will not
seek a second term as auditor on the
Republican ticket.
Auditor McVay did not choose to
run, despite the heavy pressure from
many friends and his place on the
ticket was taken by Harley Wheeler
of Caldwell, veteran of World War
II. He will be opposed on the DEM
ocratic ticket by John Kuntz of Sha-
ron, recently released from the army.
Neither will be opposed in the pri-
mary.
Auditor McVay took the oath of
office on the second Monday of
March, 1943, and will hold forth un-
til the same time in 1947, when his
successor, determined by the Novem-
Der election, will take over.
In 1880, McVay served as deputy
treasurer under the late G. w. Davis
and at his death filled out the un-
expired term. Without opposition
from either party, he was then
elected for full term, serving in
this capacity until March 1943, when
he took the oath of office as auditor.
He was elected in the November
1912 election.
Prior to taking public office, Nc
Way served eight years as a member
of the Caldwell board of education
and is at present a trustee of the
First Church of Christ.
