HOMES SHOT. Choctaw Murderer Executed at Push- mataha, 1. T- Antlers, I. T., May 7.—At 1:55 p. m. yesterday, at the Pushmataha Court grounds, 30 miles west of Antlers, Charles Homes, a full-biood Choctaw, abont 35 years old, was shot for the murder of Charle Kio tubby, his step-son-in law. Religious services were held all the morning and up to the time of the execution in ihe eyening. Homes appeared to be very deeply impress- ed with the services, and prayed a very earnest prayer himself. In his talk he told the people to take warning from his case and nev- er lead such a life as he had always led. He said he was ready to die, and wanted his friends to meet him in the bappy hunting grounds Sheriff Kanady Lawrence, who is a cousin to Homes, read the death warrant at 1:35 p.m, and then made a talk warning the Choctaw people to profit by the fate of Homes. He then lead Homes from the Court House, where services had been held, and placed him on a box, just five paces from the Court House door. A blindfold was placed over his eyes. Two Deputy Sheriffs stood on either side and held his hands, while Deputy Sheriff Bob Jackson stood in the Court House door and shot with a 44 caliber Winchester rifle. Homes fell back on the ground, a stream of blood spurting from the wound before it was stuffed full of rags. The bullet entered about two inches below the left nipple, missing the painted spot on his breast over his heart, and going through his body, coming out at his back. In ten minutes a physician pronounced him dead He died in great agony. was present, but did not show any signs of grief.
