Kimberlin's
'Really, if it is classy furnishing
goods you want," said one of Nor-
man's best dressed young men, yes-
terday, "I can heartily recommend
Ezell Kimberlin's establishment. He
seems to have the knack of knowing
just what the young man wants, what
he will look best in, what he should
wear to make the folks sit up and take
notice. Those silk shirts, sporty neck-
ties, collars, hats, etc., are beauties,
and in addition to this he has a fine
line for the middle aged and older
men which just hit the spot."
Mr. Kimberlin is giving unexampled
low prices these days on clothing
hats, caps, shoes, neckwear and every
thing carried in his line. He will give
you the benefit of his extensive ex
perience and fit you out to the
"King's Taste."

The prosecution in the case of the
State vs. Marie White closed its
case at an early hour this morning.
The principal witness for the State
was Roy Elkins, who told about the
same story as has been given
heretofore in The Transcript, viz:
That he was told to go to the home of
Marie White in an automobile from
the transfer barn of the Hendrix
boys and get Marie White and bring
her to Norman. That he did so, and
that Marie went to the Watson home
in Norman, and after considerable
maneuvering around, Mrs. Fanny
Carmen got in the automobile and left
with them for Lexington and Purcell.
He gave in detail the happenings
along the route to Kiowa, Okla., via.
Maysville, Pauls Valley, Wynnewood
and other places, and declared he had
no idea that they were attempting to
get Fanny Carmen away from Nor-
man to prevent her giving testimony
against the Hendrix boys until the
party neared Maysville.
Miss White was the only witness of
importance placed upon the stand for
the defense, and she told a pretty
straight story. She is not a bad-look-
ing young woman, and seemed open
and above-board in her answers, and
was not rattled very much by the
severe cross-examination of Attorney
Ben Williams.
Her story was that Mrs. Fannie
Carmen fyad sold her (Marie) some
furniture and an organ, all of which
Marie found had been mortgaged be-
fore the sale, and that said mortgage
was unsatisfied. Marie became peeved
about it, and hired the automobile to
come to Norman and take Mrs. Car
men to task about it. She detailed how
she had gone to the Watson home and
had Mrs. Watson phone for Mrs. Car-
men to come there. When Marie
tackled her about the mortgage on the
furniture and demanded her money
back, Mrs. Carmen said: "You
wouldn't be here if you knew what I
know," and Marie was then told that
warrant was out for her for com-
plicity in the embezzlement case
Interesting Project
The advertisement of the Oklaho-
ma Gas and Electric company con-
cerning its profit-sharing project with j
its customers, will be found in this
issue. It outlines an interesting prop-
osition, which will > be amplified on 1
request. Sign the coupon in the adver-
tisement and let them tell you about I
it.
In this connection, the Muskogee
Phoenix made editorial comment j
upon the proposition a few days ago,
saying:
"The Muskogee Gas and Electric |
company has something new to of-i
fer our people. It will give its custo-
mers an opportunity to become part-
ners in its business. The plan involves
a chance to invest one's savings on a
periodical payment basis.
"As we understand it, the primary
object of the company is to increase
public friendship and real good will
rather than to raise money. The
officers want to build up a large list
of local stockholders and we are told
that the individual who comes in for |
one or two shares will be fully as
welcome as the large investor.
"In this way, it is believed, that
the company and the public will learn
how better, undersand each other and
mutually benefit.
"The plan has been tried at Min-
neapolis with fine success. In that
city there are more than three thou-
sand stockholders. As for ourselves,
we much prefer the idea of customer-
ownership carried to a logical con-
clusion to municipal ownership. It
gives citizens a personal profit-shar-1
ing interest in the public utility com
pany and at the same time pre
serves the best features of a private j
corporation, responsible, careful and
efficient management."

she in no way persuaded Mrs. Car-
men to go, rather dissuaded her—
but Mrs. Carmen insisted, and Marie
finally consented. She testified that
she knew nothing about Mrs. Carmen
being subpoenaed in the case, and in-
deed thought little about it, being anx-
ious herself to get away before the of-
ficers came and arrested her, and that
it was because of this fear of arrest
that all the precautions the party took
to avoid towns on the trip to Kiowa
and Fort Worth were taken. At Fort
Worth she registered as "Marie Wil-

"Nellie Wallace," also because the
