"The court limit) that a crlnio of
manslaughter In tho tlrHt degree bus
been committed ami finds lliut John
Sldi-iin Is eufllelcntly guilty to bo ''''I'l
fur tho IJlstrli-t Court."
Thus decided Justice of tho Peace
l.ltson. presiding over tho preliminary
hearing of Asslsian Chief of police
John Moran charged with killing
Will Woollver while tho latter was
1 ry I nil to escape sifter being arrested
on ii charge of horso stealing. Tho
court handed down his decision at 4
o'u'iock yesterday afternoon shortly
lifter County Atornoy Put M.ilhy liad
closed the state's linal argument.
Tho decision was very well received
by the Imeniiiso throng that (Hied the
court room and any expected dem-
onstration did not result. Most of the
spectators left the room nnild a hum
of animated conversation while oth-
ers hovered aliout the Judge's licnch
tn hum what bond would ho set for
the defendant.
Immediately after tho court an-
nounced tho decision Attorney Tucker
chief counsel for thn defense leaped
to his fo t and asked to know nn
what grounds the court held Mornn
I'll a chaw of manslaughter In the
first decree? Tho counsel claimed
that under no conditions could the
offense ho classed under manslaught-
er In the first degree. Tho court how-
ever would not chango hl.i decision.
The question of bond was then
taken up and tho court stated that
he would set tho bond nt $.".000. Just
half the amount of bond under which
Mornn has been allowed his liberty
Klneo arrested. Tho County ntornoy
however agreed that tho present bond
be allowed to stand until Monday
when tho attorneys for both sides
will Ket together and make tho bond.
County Attorney Mnlloy Intimated
that ho was not satisfied with so low
n bond and would ask for a higher
one Monday.
The sensation of yesterday's pro-
ceedings tho third day nsldo from
the decision of ho court was the
closing argument of Prosecuting At-
torney rut Malloy. Tor one hour
nnd five minutes Mr. Malloy argued
In what was probably the most elo-
quent appeal over -nindo In tho his-
tory of criminal trials In Tulsa Coun-
ty. Tho effort was a mnsterploeo In
oratory and the crowded court room
was held spoil bound by the magnif-
icent flow of Inngiingo.
Ills arraignment of tho prisoner
was not so Severn as some anticipated
It would bo but at thnt Mornn did not
escape unscathed.
"Mr. Moran Is my friend" said the
prosecutor " but when It comes to
enforcing tho law friendship must
rouse. In a oust) nf this kind It Is
Impossible for ono not to have some
prejudice on ono side or thn other
but tho attorneys nnd the court In this
case must steel their hearts and face
the Issues from ft legal standpoint
nnd not from n sentlmenal ono. My
friend Mr. Tucker wishes to know
who demands thnt this action he
brought; who Is crying for the pound
of flesh?
"I will tell him. Tt Is tho state nf
Oklahoma crying for Justlco rrylng
that tho taking of n human It To bo
punished. I represent tho groat stHto
of Oklahoma and am proud to do
so. Tho state demands that thn un-
justifiable murder of Will Woollvor
bo punished and that tho defendant
John Moran be hound over to tho
District Court. If this court holds
that tho shooting was Justifiable then
the state of Oklahoma will bow to
that court.
"Tho state bases Its claims on three
points: That John Moran was guilty
of gross negligence when he allowed
VIII Woollvor to escape; that ho did
not believe beyond a doubt that Will
Woollvor wns utility of stealing that
horse: and that ho did not avail him-
self nf every other mentis to capture
Woollvor before ho fired the final and
fatal shot.
"If tho court believes that the Btate
has proven these thing then tho
court must hold the defendant to an-
swer for the crime."
Mr. Malloy then traced with n. dol-
Ih'uto touch the evldoti.ee on each
point nnd with an almost Inimitable
flow of eloquenco made tho case for
tho state.
Eorly yesterday morning with tho
rnln falling In torrents Judgo Lltsnn
accnmpanlod by the defendant and
the attorneys for hoth sides tramped
through the wet to the scene whero
the tragedy occurred and viewed tho
lay of the ground. Mr. Moran again
went over the exact course followed
by himself and the deceased on the
morning of July 28 when the tragedy
occurred. He showed the oourt where
he drew his gun; wh.ore he fired the
first shot; the second shot and where
the deceased fell. The oourt was also
iihown that from whore Moran stood
he could see no brush nor was there
any brush close to the spot where
the dead man was found. This fact
was used to good advantage by the
prosecution In the arguments.
At 10 o'olock the court reurned to
the county court room and the trial
was resumed.
Assistant County Attorney Luther
James opened the state's cane tn n
forcible manner Mr. James for thirty
mlnutos reviewed the evidence and
outlined the commonwealth's ctise.
Ho traced with great care every stup
leading up to the trugedy and con-
tinually kept before thu cuiirl the
mate's chief contention tn robuttul
to the defense's plan of defense that
thn killing uiih not Juslfluhlo.
As Iiu concluded Mr. Junius stated
thui he would leuvo tho mutter of
Introducing authorities to Mr. Mulloy
who would close for tho state these
iiuthoi Itles to lie used In clinching
the state's argument that tho killing
wns not Justifiable.
At this point thu defense raised a
serious objection contending that the
statu must make Its fuse in Uio op-
ening and could not wait until rebut-
tal to Introduce authorities on the
law. Assistant Counsel for the ilefenso
Ramsey nnd Prosecuting Attorney
Mnlloy had (jullu a sharp tilt that
caused a break lu the high tension of
the court room and created a smile
all around.
In rising to argue the defense's con-
tention In tins objection Malloy stal-
ed "1 don't recall that I ever heard
such a ridiculous contention raised
In a court room before."
Mr. Kamsey silting on the other
side of the table Rliot back at him:
"You are learning something every
day 1'at'."
1 am addressing the court not you
Mr. Ramsey" replied the prosecutor.
The court held that tho prosecution
could only Introduce authorities: In
the closing argument In rebuttal to
tho defense's case.
At. lfl:4 o'clock City Attorney
Ramsey opened the ense. Mr. Hum-
fey confined his remarks to a review
of tho test'mony favorable to tho de-
fendant and outlined tho defense's
case. 1 1 1) bitterly attacked tho testi-
mony of Mr. Rhofner a witness for
the prosecution who testified that
when Moran fired tho fatal shot Wool-
lvcr was running straight away from
Moran nnd hnd his back turned to-
ward him. Mr. Hnmsey showed by
the course of the bullet which entered
Windlver's left arm and penetrnted
bis side that the testimony of Shof-
ner was not true.
Mr. Tucker chief counsel for the
defendant followed Mr. Ramsey tak-
ing the floor at 11:03 o'clock. He
talked for 45 minutes when tho court
recessed for noon until 1:30 o'clock.
Mr. Tucker then again took tip the
argument and concluded at 2:10
o'clock.
From a legal standpoint. Mr. Tuck-
er's argument wns a brilliant effort.
Btep by step and Inch by Inch ho fol-
lowed tho progress of tho tragedy
from the arrival of Woollvor In Tulsa
on tho Wednesday before the shoot-
ing occurred until tho deceased
breathed his last.
At every angle of the case ho en-
deavored to show tho court Justifica-
tion for the shooting. As he outlined
each step in tho ovldence ho Intro-
duood authority after authority nnd
Supreme Court decisions after decis-
ions to strengthen his statements.
Ills argument was almost a repetition
of reading from authorities and it
wan generally conceded to be ono of
the greatest arguments from ft legal
standpoint ever heard In this city.
At 2:10 o'clock Mr. Tucker closed
with an ImpuBslonod appeal to release
John Moran from the stigma of the
charge of murder. Mayor I J. Mar-
tin fololwed .Mr. Tucker and closed
the case for the defense.
Mayor Martin preceded his re-
marks by saying that he only took
part In tho argument at tho request
of Mr. Moran and because he be-
lieved In his own heart that Moran
was Innocent of any wrong doing.
Mr. Martin talked for thirty min-
utes and demonstrated that his repu-
tation as a "spell hinder" was a Just
ono.
He made a strong appeal for tho re-
leaso of Mr. Mornn Ho laid open to
the court tho exemplnry character of
Moran during his seven yonrs' service
as an officer of the law !n this coun-
ty. Ho appealed to tho court for tho
release of Moran becauso "by binding
over this mun you will put a pre-
mium on the services of elllelent of-
ficers that the city cannot afford to
pay. Py holding this man to tho Dis-
trict Court you put a burden and ex-
pense on him that will prove an ex-
ample and detriment to other officers
.to; mi otu 3iupjo;ua ujiuj
fear that they will bo prosecuted In
this manner for only doing Lhulr
duty."
County Attorney Malloy then closed
tho enso for the stoto.
Tho Mornn preliminary has prob.
ably been without a precedent In Ok-
lahoma not only on account of tho In-
terest taken In the hearing but on
aooount of the hard fight made hy the
attorneys for both sides tho state to
eoure tho holding of Moran to tho
District Court nnd the defense to
have Moran cleared of the charge.
For three days tho County Court
room has been parked and Jammed
with hundreds of spectators who hnvo
followed every word of the testimony.
Opinion still seems to bo very much
divided as to the final outcome of the
on so.
Moran's trlnl will bo held In the
District Court probably In October.
lOxlilhltlim of Ilursn Training.
There will ho a remarkable exhl-
hltlon of wild horso training at tho

T "ii 1 1 imI States uppciircd unexpectedly
before tho Stanley committee investi-
gating thu steed trust today und as-1
Humi-d tho entire responsibility foi
allowing the I'nlted HtaU Steel Cor-
poration to noitulre tho Tennessee
Coal & Iron Company during tho pan-
ic of 1 y 0 7 . Hu said he wanted to
avert a "world-wldo sniuah" und suc-
ceeded In his purpose.
"It was necessary for me to decide
on tho limtant before tho opening of
tho stock exchange and failure to act
at that tlmo would havo made any
further action useless. Attorney-! ion-
cral Honuparta advised mo that un-
der tho olivumstunccs thero would bo
no proper grounds for prosecuting tho
steel corporation. Hut I wish It to
bo distinctly understood that the re-
sponsibility for tho act Is solely mine."
Tho ex-Pre.sldent however admit-
ted that ho had not been told by
Messrs. rinry and Trick at their con-
ference with him In Washington thnt
It was necessary for tho I'nlted Stals
Steel Corporation to absorb the Ten-
neseo Coal A Iron Company to stop
the pnnlo.
Tho sudden oppearoneo of tho ct-
1'resldent by whoso uctlon tho teel
Trust Is mid to have been allowed to
absorb tho Tennessee Coal & Iron
Company Its solu big rival caused a
sensation. It wns entlroly voluntary
though tho committee had long want-
ed to know aliout the conference be-
tween Judge Gary Henry C. Frlck
and himself during the panlo of 1907
when big financial concerns were
crashing In Wall Btreet and when
Krlck and Oary wanted assurance
that tho steol trust would not bo
prosecuted If It gobbled up its rival.
While tho conference was on tho syn-
dicate members holding the stock of
tho Tennessee Call A Iron Company
were waiting at the home of J. P.
Morgan. When word came over the
telephono from Washington that ev-
erything was all right tho rival com-
pany wns promptly absorbed.
Colonel Roosevelt dressed In a sack
suit of mixed materials and wearing
the old Hoosevelt smllo showed his
big teeth as ho gave his testimony.
The colonel showed no signs of ner-
vousness as ho took the stand. As
he sat down In the witness chair he1
adjusted his nose glasses took a
bundlo of writing paper from his poc-
ket and nodded to Chairman Stanley
and spread tho papers out In front
of him on the table.
Chairman Stanley asked tho colonel
to tell his story In his own way of
what happened at tho conferences'
leading up to the absorption of tho
Tennessee Coal & Iron Company by
the steel corporation.
"Mr. Chairman and gentlemen"
said Mr. Koosovclt In a well modulat
ed tone "If It Is agreeable to you I
will read from these notes tho matter
with which I am not entirely familiar
Just now und with which I havo re
freshed my memory.
"In the fall of 1907" then read
Colonel Hoosevelt "thero was u serl
ous financial depression In Now York
C'ty and elsewhere. Tho damage that
hud been dono was great. Tho Im
pending danger was greater. There
wus a panlo and no one could tell or
foresee what might occur.
"inis impending calamity was
stopped. Mr. Honaparte got In touch
with the people of New York as you
know the events moved swiftly. Ho
took Bnmo action on his own Initia
tive and I did also.
"I was notified that a couplo of
gentlemen wanted to see me In my
office In the White House. Mr. Hona-
purte had gone out of town but
Immediately got In touch with one of
his assistants. Messrs. Ftiok and Clary
were In my office waiting for mo.
"I wish It distinctly understood that
In the matter of the acquisition of the
Tennessee Coal A Iron Company by
he United States Stool Corpoatlon T
acted purely upon my Initiative The
responsibility Is solely mine
"The word panlo means fear. You
all know It prevailed at that time
and unless something was done at
once to stop It It Is probable that
there would have been a general nnd
world wide smash.
"The Knlckerbf'l ker Trust Com-
pany had fallen and two or three
other trust companies followed. Oth-
or big ones were on tho dividing line.
They.or rather the Individuals In
them held securities of the Tennes-
seo Coal & Iron Company. These se-
curities were useless In case of an
emergency as the value of the securi-
ties of the I'nlted States Eteol cor-
poration were known all over the
world.
"Mr. Ftlck and Mr. Gary proposed
to me that to save tho situation the
United States Steel corporation would
acquire the Tennessee Coal & Iron
Company. Now It was necessary for
mo to decide thnt proposition on the
Instant to tldo the stock exchange
over
"Tho situation In New York was
uch that sn hour nilsht be ttnl
and that failure to net for even onu
hour might subsequently render ul 1
efforts at action useless.
"lly having acquired the Tennes-
see Coal & Iron Company the l'tilted
States Steel corporation would simply
have added about 4 1-2 per cent to
Its control of tho steel and Iron pro-
ducton Increase from ft per cent
to (1 1-2 per cent. This addition
by itself would have worked no
change In the legal status of the steel
corporation. Action was emphatic-
ally nocensnry for the general good
of the Republic. Tho only chance
of arresting the pnnlo wus uffen d by
Messrs Frlck and Uory.
"I answered Mr. Frlck and Judge
Gnry that I didn't deem It my duly
to Interfere that Ix to forbid ac-
tion on what might savo and did sine
the situation. Results Justified my
action. Tho panic was stopped; pub-
lic confidence wns restored.
"When I was In llirniltmhniii
Ala. last spring citizens there In-
formed me voluir .rlly that the ac-
tion taken by tin- sieel corporation
In acquiring tho Tciniese0 Coal
Iron Company had proved of cr..it
benefit to them and therefore the
whole state of Alnhiimn.
"They said that the purchase had
been benetllclal from every stand-
point. "I consider that the stand I took
wus (tally necessarv to tho wel-
fare of tho people of the I'nlted
States. In my Judgment I would
have been ft derelict In my duty and
I would havo shown myself a timid
nnd unworthy public ntllidal if 1
had not acted ns 1 did.
"If a man Is worth his suit hn will
moet his duty when n crisis ocme.
Fxcuses con always be given for non-
action In such crisis. So long n a
man's nets nro not prohibited by law
ho should havo tho courage to net."
At this point Chairman Stanley
said:
"Colonel Roosevelt plensn slate nil
tho presentations nimle to you by Mr.
IYIck nnd Judge U.irv In regard to
tho proposition to purchase the Ten-
nessee Conl A Iron Company."
"Well gontlemen I h" nlrendy
heard from Now York ti nt certain
Interests could savo certain trust
companies from disasters. Now I can
not give you Mr. Trick's and Judge
Gary's statements verbatim because
they here made four yours In the
past. Hut they were to this effect:
"They snld they were urged by
various representatives of big busi-
ness Interests In New York to noqulor
tho Tetinessco Coal & Iron Company
because the securities of that concern
wero assets In ono big trust company
there. My recollection Is howover
that they were really a.ssets In two
big trust companies.
"Messrs. Frlck nnd Gary said they
were convinced the company would
fall If nothing wns done ns the Ten-
nessee securities hsd no value at the
moment. They wero willing to pur-
chase tho Tennessee property for the
I'nlted States Steel corporation."
"Did they tell you that a certain
wine agent by the name of Kessler
and a stock broker hy the name of
Schley were In trouble?"
"They certainly did not." And
Colonel Hoosevelt thereupon pointed
his finger at Chairman Stunley nnd
added:
"I certainly never before heard
the mime of Kessler whom you say
In a wine agent. Not until you men-
tioned It Just now Mr. Btunluy did
1 ever hear of a man by that name."
There wus a great deal of laugh-
ter ut this and Chairman Staiicly
made no effort to suppress It.
"I may havo heard the namo of
Schley" said Cd. Hoosevelt "of that
I am not certain."
"Col. Hoosevelt I am neither a
prophet lior the son of a prophet
but I knew a year ago that your
testimony on this score would have
been as It was today.'
"f am nut familiar Mr. Chairman
with Wall Str.et or Its ways" said
tho colonel.
"I am euro thnt It Is so Colonel
Roosevelt" said Chairman Stanley.
"They said thnt they wero willing
and anxious to purchase tho Ten-
nessee Coal and Iron Company for

ates thu Idea advunced by somo op.
posed to suffrage 'hut sufirugu Is
trying to Kupplunt man's piMliliiu In
tho world and relegate him to the
phtco of a mure trolugleal fuctor of
f um lly life.
"I am a suffragist" says Mrs. Cros-
by "but I see no signs of suffrage
tho United Btutes Stuel corporation
becauso It wus tho only thing Unit
could savo tho situation. It would
enable them to put the whole power
of tho U. H. Steel Company on the
firing lino so as to uvert disaster
thut would have been fatal to all
Including themselves.
"Thu conversation between myself
und Messrs. Frlck und (Jury was
more In detail than I hnvo given It
but havo given you the mini aiel
substance of It."
Chairman Stanley asked: "Did
those gentlemen tell you that It was
necessary for the steel coporntlon to
absorb tho Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company In order to save tho dny?"
"No I cannot say that they put It
In thut way" replied Colonel ilijose-
volt. "Did they tell you that It was
necessary to do this in order to .slop
thu panic?"
"No. they did not."
"If 1 were on a sail bout I should
not ordinarily meddlo with uny of
the gears but If a sudden squall
struck us and tho main sheet
tumbled so thut tho boat threatened
to capsize 1 would Instantly cut tho
main sheet even though sure that
the owner no mutter how grateful
to me at the moment for having
suvod his life would be a few weeks
Inter when ha forgot his danger and
his fear decided to sue me for the
valuo of the cut rope."
Colonel Hoosevelt was subjected to
u. rapid flro of questions but ho had
an answer for every ono. He told
Chairman Stanley tiT he had been
Informed that a bunking concern In
New York wns In trouble. Thu col
onel denied that ho had been told
that nlne-tentlis of the Tennesseo
Coal & Iron Company stocks had
been locked up In an Iron box of a
certain Now York millionaire
"I cannot say thut I was told that
If tho U. 6. Jieul corporation was to
absorb the Tennessee Coal ft Iron
Company It would savo tho day.
"Hteel bonds I was told wero of
Immense value whereas the Ten-
nessee Coal & Iron stock led no
value. At thu time the government
wns lending money to New York
hanks and to others throughout the
oonntry about $25.000000 to allay
the panic till people got back their
heads."
Replying to Mr. Littleton's ques-
tions the colonel continued:
"I knew of no hidden altrutitlo
move on tho part of the steel cor
poration but I knew they were not
seeking to damage themselves In
the deal.'
Here the colonel illustrated with
two parables one nbotit a sinking
ship the other about a burning
house to show that men In peril don't
seek motives for their salvation In
troublous times.
"Tho danger wns relieved the
punlo averted."
Colonel Hoosevelt then turned to
Congressman Young.
