will be granted a new trial, as the j
result of an opinion given by the ;
state criminal court of appeals, Sat-
urday.
Tait pleaded guilty to the crime, j
but Gobin pleaded not guilty. Both
were convicted and sentenced to
death, but Gobin appealed. Tait is
sentenced to die October 14.
It was believed at the state capitol
Saturday that Governor Robertson
would grant a stay of execution to
Tait in order that he might be a!
witness in the new trial of Gobin. j
Lewis Paullln, pardon and parole at -1
torney, and Joe O'Brien, secretary to !
the governor, both gave their per-1
sonal opinion that the governor |
would take this action.
Governor Robertson was in Mus-,
kogee.
The opinion of the high court was |
that the bill of rights of the con-1
stitutlon had been violated when the .
trial of Gobin had been rushed
through in one day. The constitu-j -AlfemS!

was that the judge of the Comanche \ lor the Chattanooga Corps. Forrest's Cavalry-
county district court had abused 1
judicial discretion in refusing to
grant a continuance.
Sprague was murdered when he
went to a lonely place near lawton
in answer to a taxi call. His body-
was buried in a creek bed. Two
girls with Gobin and Tait were con-
victed on a robbery charge in Roger
Mills county, which the four are al-
leged to have committed when flee-
ing from Comanche county.

Father Turns Over Prodigal
To Officers as Mail bandit
CHICAGO, Oct. 8- (By C. P.)
Carl, the 23-year-old prodigal
son of Carl Stieler Sr.. was
homo today after spending $45.-
000 in two years but the fatted
calf was not prepared.
Instead, Carl's father turned
him over to the police, declaring
the son obtained the money as
his share in the $234,000 mail
robbery at Whiting, Ind., in
1919.
The boy confessed. He told
of fleeing Chicago with a neigh-
bor girl after the robbery; of
their marriage in Los Angeles,
where he spent large sums ou
airplanes, diamonds, racing cars,
fhie clothes and in high living.
With his bride he traveled
across the country in an air-
plane to Texas, where his money
ran out. The bride, who was
so9n to become a mother and
who was blamed by Carl's par-
ents for urging him to take part
in the robbery, scrubbed floors
and did other such work in
order that they might live.
The wayward couple beat
their way home on freight trains
and knocked at the door of
Stieler's home last night. The
father immediately called the po-

Shoupe's car broke down on the

He had worked in a prone position
for over half an hour when he
reached over to take up a pair of
pliers. He noticed a packing at his
neck, and turning over, discovered
that he had been lying on a sure

and got out from his precarious

that the snake had been pinned down
