Carroll said: “Of course, I am deeply gratified at the result of the election. I am appreciative for the support of The Star, and hope that I will merit j the confidence expressed in me. My only desire now is to forget politics and to be able to devote all of my time to the interests of the city.” Councilman Harry T.

Women were blamed for an in crease of 66 per cent in the manu. facture and sale of cigarets in the United States. More than 50,000,000,000 cigar ts were bought in the fi year just ended for which the treasury department now has complete re- ports on the tax collected. In the previous year cigaret consump- tion was only 30,000,000,000. This shows an increase of 20,000,000,- 000 in the 12-month period. Women, officials say, probably are not entirely responsible for the increase, but they are blamed in the main, Women began to take up the cigaret habit in earn ext in the United States carly in 1919, probably as a result of the war influence. During 1920 the government re ceived $151,000,000 in cigaret taxes, an increase of nearly $61,- 000,000 over 1919. The tax on cigarets is $3 per 1,000 tubes.

But Main Street in Ardmore is Main Street in Ardmore, and not |comparable to any other in the coun- |try. The South meets the West and jforms Ardmore. This town of 20,000 \inhabitants is typically Southern in |its aspect, with a dash of cowboys and Indians thrown in to give a |“wiid and woolly” Western effect, |PUBLIC OPINION |ACQUITS CLARA HAMON | Public opinion has acquitted Clara |Hamon—she is not guilty of the ;charge of slaying Jake Hamon, pic- jturesque millionaire promoter and jpolitician, in the eyes of the Ard moreites. However, the offspring of the union of the South and West are not all wrought up over the case. A conviction, perhaps, a slight ripple; then Ardmore would go back to work coaxing oil out of the ground and raising turbulent crops of politics. “ Years ago Jake Hamon moved into the Randol hotel on Main Street, with a woman who was not his wife —Clara Smith Hamon. Tongues did not wag them out of town; the morals commission did not call on them. Ardmore figured that was Jake's and Clara's business, and then went about its own affairs. Of course Jake Hamon and Clara Hamon were counted in on the so- cial affairs of the frontier com- munity. MRS. JAKE HAMON BRINGS OWN ATTORNEY Mrs. Jake Hamon reached here to- day from Chicago, to demand death for the woman she says broke up her home and killed her husband. With her came Jimmy O’Brien, wearing a red necktie and carrying 4 noose under hig arm. He is a former assistant state's attorney in Chicago, and is acting Mrs. Jake Hamon's attorney. “I'm going to do all in my power to avenge my husband's death,” said Mrs, Hamon. “I brought Mr. O'Brien because he bas a reputation for getting convictions. } “I'm going the limit to get Clara Smith Hamon fully punished for the home she wrecked and the life she took.” Mrs. Hamon will be the star wit- ness for the state, “She stole Jack from me, the mother of his two children, and sent me into exile,” continued: Mrs, Hamon. “Then she shot him down. Before the bars of justice, I'll de mand the limit for this woman.” | O'Brien's avowed business in life is to convict those charged with mur- der. He came here, hired by Mrs. Hamon for the purpose of “getting” Clara Smith Hamon, “ROPES” O'BRIEN |SLIPS NOOSE SKILLFULLY O'Brien earned the name of |“Ropes” O’Brien because of the skill jful way he slipped the noose around men’s necks during his argument be fore juries. He always wears a re@ necktie at a murder trial—that’s the reason he came to Ardmore with one on. When Mrs, Jake Hamon hired |“Ropes” O'Brien, it meant that she }was going thru with the case—that |she had resolved “vengeance is | mine?” “Ropes” O'Brien technically hop {been hired to represent the estate c€ jJake L. Hamon. O'Brien, at the request |Hamon, immediately sought Freeling, attorney general of Okla. homa, and chief prosecutor, to see if he can join the prosecution. It will be up to Freeling whether O'Brien will take a leading role en tho O'Brien is not taken into the fold of the prosecution, it is un derstood that he, as counsel for Mrs. |Hamon, will have the right to cross amine witnesses when the estate of 1 ri jis involved, Most of the witnesses will involve the estate, O'Brien believes, The prosecution has kept in a mystery the central points on which jit will try to send Clara Smith Hamon to the penitentiary for the |murder of Jake Hamon, But three features are expected to develop at the trial, starting tomor row, of the young woman who shot and killed the multimillionaire man and politician, after associating openly with him for ten years, They a FIRST—That Hamon was being blackmailed on the day he was shot, (Turn to last page, colump 3)
