Mingle was in Wichita, Kan., .it 11:30
o'clock on the morning of September
16, 1908, arrived in Oklahoma City
last night and will be used Monday In
supporting a motion for a re-hearing
in the motion for a new trial, on the
yiounds of newly discovered evidence,
which will be filed in the district
court by Attorney E. j. Giddings, coun-
sel for Mingle. Mrs. Beatrice Stevens,
of Wichita, sister-in-law of Mingle,
brought the affidavits. Mingle is al-
leged to have murdered Mrs. Pearl
Pearson on September 16, 1908, near
Belle Isle.
Three affidavits will be used in the
petition for a rehearing. Most impor-
tant will be that of Mrs. Annie Martin,
who swears that at 11:30 o'clock on
the morning of September 16, 1908,
she was going east on East Douglas
avenue in Wichita and that she passed
Mingle going west. The affiant states
that she knows positively that the per-
son she passed was Mingle, because
she was personally acquainted with
the defendant.
The Affiant further states in Imr affi-
davit that kIio knows to a certainty tliat

In the sweeping reform that io
come, the dance hall evil which has
been talked about so much anionij
church people, will be placed in the.
same class with the Sunday theaters.
Both are classed as public nuisances
and in violation of the Sabbath law.
While the penalty for such violations
is the small sum of $1 fine for eacls
offense, all such violators may be per-
manently enjoined in court.
PUBLIC MIND PREPARED.
It Is believed by those in sympath/
with the movement to close Sunday
Theaters and dance halls that the slt-
I uation now is ripe for the improvement!
of Oklahoma City's moral tone. Th®
spotlight thrown on the laxity of law
observance and enforcement by the
grand jury has brought to the mirtde
of many citizens, law-abiding them-
selves. the fact that an extremely bad
; example is being set for the comin(i
generation. With the public mind
aroused to the true condition of af-
J fairs here, those back of the move-
ment for a purer Sabbath observance
are confident that the good people of
the city will aid them in their efforts
and see that the crusade does not de-
velop into a "grandstand play."
EXPECT "BLUE LAW" TRICK.
The people who are quietly but
steadfastly preparing to better Okla-
homa City Sabbath, expect the oppos-
ing element to invoke the aid of "blue
laws"—their time-worn trick—making
the "lid" 30 tight that there is a reac-
tion of public sentiment. But they
also believe that the courts will be just
and not enable evil to gain the upper
hand by wearing a puritanical mask.
That Sunday theaters run In direct
opposition to the churches and keep
thousands away from hearing the
teachings of God, is the stand taken
by members of the Ministerial alliance.
At a meeting of the alliance, the
Rev. Thomas H. Harper, pastor of the
Pilgrim Congregational church, made
I a motion that some action be taken at
once for the purpose of closing Sunday
theaters. On suggestion of Rev. G. I.
Gordon of the United Presbyterian
church, president of the alliance, the
matter was referred to the Law and
Order league for action. The alliance
will back the Law and Order league
in whatever action is taken.
