COURTROOM. ARDMORIO.
Jake L. Hamon the southwestern "own empire builder" and
republican political leader was bared at noon todny on the
witness stand in the Clara Smith Hamon murder trial by Rev.
T. J. Irwin his spiritual advisor.
"Hamon died repentant" said the minister.
"We prayed together to Cod
died fonnven.
The preacher's testimony came as a "shock" to the defense.
Rev. Mr. Irwin told of Mr. Hamon reviewing his past life
when the oil king lay in tho Ardmorc sanitarium. Hamon
"sought salvation" when he knew death was near and called
Jus spiritual advisor to his bed "to make his peace with God."
"You know my heart as the
dying man said Rev. Mr. Irwin
no man. 1 have deceived no man. Clara and I have been
living in adultery. We both did wrong. I being the stronger
of the two should not have done it and she should not have
done it" the minister declared Hamon told him.
The preacher also declared Ihimon had said he (the oil
king) had "paid Clara for the third lime" to go out of his life.

AilDMOIti:. Okla. Mnrch 12. It's Just n question of whether tho
Jury will believe tho story told by Jake U Hamon speaking through
Its. friends who wero with him In tho days Just heforo his death when
h repeatedly asserted that ho was dying or whether it will accept n
true tho story to bo related by Clara Smith Hamon on tho witness stand
next week.
Upon that question and that alone
hinges thn fate of tho defendant
Clara Smith.
State ltclli'M on I)) log Statement.
That Is plainly apparent tonight
nfter tho first half week of tho trial.
Tho state is relying solely for a con
victlon upon tho ho-ciIIciI
dying
ptntements of Hnmon supported by I
such corroborative evidence as At
torney General S. P. Kreollng Is nblo
to muster. Tho defence will baso
ltn ciiso on the defendant s story
backed up also by whnt corrobora-
tion Is nvallablc. Of coureo. the do-
fenso also In seeking to tear down
nnd smnsh tho state's structuru of
evidence by crosa exaiulnutinn of
witnesses.
Along this line the chief effort
of tho able and persistent chief de-
fense attorney W. 1J. (Wild Hill)
McLean ban up to thin tlmo been
tv show that Hnmon was staggering
drunk when shot. To show that
Hamon whh In this condition would
not only tend to corroborato Clara
Smith's claim that thero was a fight
In the rooms occupied by Clara and
Jake anil that she shot In self de-
fense but also might bo coiiHtrued
to mean that Hamon did not know
what ho wiih saying when ho told
hi frlonds "Clara shut mo and
didn't glvo me a chance." "
Widow to 'JVMIfy Tomorrow.
H might open tho way for the
defenso lawyers to arguo that
Hamon'n no-called dying statements
wero tho maudlin ravings of a man
out of his mind from whisky at
flrnt nnd that ho possibly bellevnd
that truo when he Inter did havo
lucid Intervals after thu oporntion.
Mrs. Jako Hnmon Is expected to
bo tho first witness Monday morn
ing If sho has recovered rrom Uio
nervous breakdown she sustained in
the courtroom yesterday. It is tho
Impression of those who have stud-
ied tho case however that sho Is
being offered for tho sentimental ap-
noal her annearanco and story of
a. homo wrecked by the entrance of
Clara Smith Into her husband's life
will make to the Jury than for any
inntcii.il facts she will relate to tho
Jury. A draniatlo scene is nimosl
certain In the courtroom whllo sho
Is on the stand.
She has never been nblo to oven
discuss the case with newspaper In
terviewers or with h'-r lawyers with-
out giving way to tears sometimes
hysteria. What may bo expected
when sho faces tho donwely packed
courtroom to oo n crowd of cur-
ious though probably sympathetic
women and men examining hor and
drinking In her words Is easy to
forecast.
The state Is enpeotort to conclude
lis asn In chief on Monday unlesn
