ARNETT, Okla, November 23.— | Search for a “mystery woman” lent | a new and bizarre touch tonight to investigation of the frontier slaying of a youthful Texas gambler in a | “rip-roarin’” gambling town 28 years ago. | A murder charge was lodged today against Mrs. Bonnie Lovall, former Indian Territory dance hall girl. Her tardy asserted story of the brutal | killing of the Texan, young Ed Nel- | son, after he had “flashed a roll | of big money” November 3, 1907, al- ready had resulted in a murder charge against C. E. Farmer, 55, mild- mannered Laverne, Okla., justice of | the peace. Witness Important. County Attorney Charles B. Leedy announced, however, he sought an- | other woman—one resident of Shat- tuck, scene of the crime, said asserted she knew “all about the killing be- cause I was there.” . Leedy intimated he believed his so- called “mystery woman” was another former dancer in halls that flourished when Shattuck was “wide open.” Mystery Woman Now Sought In Oklahoma Murder of 1907 Prosecutor Says Resident Knows Details of Texan’s Slaying for $3,000 Roll. Prisoner Denies Charge. Mrs. Lovall, who arrived here yes- terday shortly after Farmer was charged, figured principally in re- opening of the old case—one of dozens of unsclved crimes of the early West. Her sixth husband had at- tested before a Death Valley, Calif., notary that she confessed prior to their recent divorce a part in the territorial killing. Calls Deal Trumped Up. Bitterly, Farmer asserted “the whole deal is from the bottom of the deck— trumped up.” Mrs. Lovall insisted she knew no “material facts,” adding “I knew Farmer, but didn't say anything about his connection with the case.” Her husband grimly maintained: “She told me all about the killing. | She sald she lured Nelson down be- | hind the depot, where he was hit with a wagon spoke. Then she sald his body was hauled in a buggy to ‘Wolf Creek and dumped in the plum | brush after the throat was slashed. ® * * She told me she took charge of ! Nelson’s money, about $3,000.” AID FOR NAVY BALL tend Charity Program Thanks- giving Night.

Swanson, wife of the Navy Secretary, in a radio | address last night. | The ball is sponsored each year | by the Navy Relief Society to raise | funds for impoverished widows and | children of the officers and men of the Navy.
