she would wish them to act.

tiiirls of Stillwater, by whom lie was
employed. In his confession the negro
implicated the man's wife. Lorena
Matthews, who was tried and acquit
ted following his plea. Chapman was
sentoncod to the penitentiary foi 2"
years for manslaughter. He has been
a trusty at the penitentiary several i pair of sixes
years intl is ta be released on an ex-
plratioii pardon, according to the
reuirds of the pardon and parole at-
torney's office, the sentence having
been reduced for good behavior.
The trial of Mrs. Matthews, which
j.rew f it of til • l egro's confc- ion.
created parhaps the greatest stir
throughout the slate of any criminal
hearing held up to that time in Okla-
homa.
Taken to Guthrie by Moman Pruitt,
Mrs. Matthews' attorney, on a change
of venue, the case resolved itself into
a long legal fiuht. According to the
testimony Introduced. Matthews, who
was 47 vears old. was found dead in
a stable en his farm Mrs. Matthews
said he had been kicked to death by
mules. Some time after this Mrs.
Matthews, who was then '-'i years
old. moved to Canada with her two
children. These, the testimony show-
ed. she was joined by Chapman. To-
Bethel* then went to a ranch near Kd
montpn. Alberta, and lived -several
months, according to witnesses. Later
Mrs. ,Matthews moved to Kdnionton.
Upon the removal of Mrs. Matthews
the negro went to the Canadian
Xortnweat Mounted Police and made
tip;alleged confession in which he de-
clared. according to the testimony,
that lie had assisted Mrs. Matthews
to kill her husband, aftor whhh the

The entire high school is looking
forward to the moment when the
curtain rises on the first uct of the
greatest event., the Senior class play,
"A Pair of Sixes," a throe-act comedy
which will be presented in the High
School Auditorium, May 15, by the
members of the Senior class.
The play is a series of delightful
complications between two men,
I partners in a thriving business, who
I quarrel continually.
' Nettleton, "I'd give anything on
earth I own to have that man in the
c.nly place he's fit for—or ever will
be—a valet—to lay out my pajamas!"
Johns—, "And I'd like to have you
as a servant—to black my shoe*!"
Nettleton—. "I'm much more !U:dy
to black your eye«>!"
Johns—, "Try it! and I'll lay you
out—instead of your pajamas!"
That was too much. They summoned
their laywer. Neither would sell out
to the other, nor would they divide
their business' equally. They tried to
solve ti eir problem by an appeal to
the (Joddess CJiance. A hand of poker*3.
was played; and the loser became a' X
butler in the other's home. They j *
thought they had solved their prob- j -j*
iom but it was like jumping out of the i X
frying pan into the fire. All went
