feeling of uneasiness not to say
agony prevades the Oklahoma City
boosters since the introduction of the
Maxey-Redwlne bill the adoption of
which would put a crimp in the Put-
nam City location and possibly car-
ry the venture capitoi romoval

Oklahoma Murder Case Argued f
Before Nation's Highest
Legal Tribunal
(By Associated Press.)
Washington D. c Nov. SO. Sen-
tenced t5 Imprisonment for life on
a charge of murder William Hendrlx
of Uklanoma through his attorney ap
pealed in oral argument to the su-
premo court of the United States to
set aside hi sentence.
Hendrlx was charged with having
murdered his father-in-law Robert W.
Vos at Pauls Valley old Indian Ter
ritory. On his request his trial was
removed from the federal courts ol
Indian Territory to the federal courts
of Texas. Later Hendrlx sought In
vain to have his case returned to
Oklahoma. Refusal to return the case'
to Oklahoma is now clmed to have
been a denial to .Hendfi.x of his-constitutional
rights.
it. is set I'ortii in a brief to the
court that one reason why Hendrlx
desired the case returned to Oklaho-
ma was because there his wife could
have testified in his behalf. A copy
of an affidavit is produced to show
that Hendrlx expected his wife to
testify that she told hint such a story
of her father's treatment of her that
he was made irrespoublv.
The federal government opposed n
new trial for Houdnx. The court
took the ease under advlsemnt.
