C. Walton, There was no violence or blood- shed. The house members gathered be- fore the entrance to the house cha\v- , ber were given a firm and court or- der by Col. W. 8. Key, military com- mander of the city, not to attempt jt assemble, Col, Key read to members of the lower house the order of Governor J. C. Walton forbidding the assembly of “any or all members of the leg- islature during the present period {of unrest” at 11:58 a. m He order- jed the legislators to disperse im- imodiately and refused to amplify ‘his order in any manner when ap- ' proached by leaders of the lower house. |! There was a momentary pause, armed officers moving through the |erowd barked out orders to “leave {the buildiny” and without a word the house members began to depart. Within five minutes the. scene of the clash ‘between the solons and the military was cleared, ATMOSPHERE TENSE With the atmosphere charged to a fever pitch Charles E. Brice, speaker pro tem of the house at- tempted to call’ the house members to ord Brice ‘had hardly raised his hand and \said, “Gentlemen of the House —" when’ Cot. Key’ atepping up broke in and in) a loud voice called on every one in the crowd to remain motionless. He then read the order prohibiting the session. When Col. Key had completed the reading D, A.- Stovall: of ‘Hugo, ‘rep- resentative from Choctaw county, asked the military commander if “he had the full support of tie state na- tional guard behind the order.” Col. Key made no reply. W. E. Disney, representative from Muskogee, then asked if the gather- ing was being disptrsed “as-a legis- lature or as individuals.” “You are being dispersed as islature,” Col. Key responded. Doors Never Opened The doors of the house chambers were never opened and none save the militia approached nearer the cham- ber than the military guard stationed about 20 feet in front of the entrance. The house members left almost in a body to their caucus headquarters in a hotel. House members and newspaper men were grouped,sas clost as possi- ble to the entrance of the chamber from the back of the crowd and across the open court that pierces the open rotunda when Brice sudden- ly made an attempt to cal) the ses- sion. There were a couple of members who sought to gain pineey of advan- tage. - The sharp command of the guard leader to “remain where you are” halted the movement. Women and girls were caught in the midst of the floor as the mem- bers faced about and all stood silent- ly while the order was read. Then in groups of twos and threes the crowd disbanded.
