The date of cution is Friday, January 23. He will be electrocuted within the walls of the Oklahoma State prison at McAlester. In pronouncing the death sentence upon Betterton, the judge made a lengthy speech in which he said: "You appeared here without friend, not a brother or sister, father or mother, uncle, aunt, cousin, of any degree whatever, or child, son or daughter, in this court for trial, without a friend on earth. I don't suppose you have a friend in this county or in this state or in the state of Missouri where you came from. I call attention to that, Mr.

Betterton, not to bring chagrin upon you, if chagrin can be brought upon you, but because of the fact that it is peculiar, and brings home to you and me that a man can get some place in life, it is possible, for a man to get in a condition in life by his own act, that even his own children flee from him. If he has any kinsmen they don't raise their voice for him and instead raise it against him. "In this case, Mr. Betterton, your own children came and pointed their fingers to you as a man who killed your own wife and killed their mother They did that from the witness stand, your own son-in-law, your own daughter-in-law, your own daughter, your own little step-son, this little boy Raymond and this little girl, Mamie, who were kin to you by blood and marriage, and these others, and they all pointed to you as the man who had committed what the law says is uxorcide-killing a man's own wife. "It is stated in 1 the books of criminology that a man who is a killer-a murderer, is a man with a glassy eye.

If that is true they have caught the man this time. The man who has A drawn cheek is said id to be a killer. If that is true, they have got the right man this time. A man who has a complexion--got down so fine as to say the color of a man's hair indicates whether he is a murderer, or not. I have glanced at every feature of your face, your hair and your glassy eye and your cheek and according to these distinctions everything indicates that you are the man, one of the very few, who would kill his wife."

-(Adv.) CLEARING LANDS Many towns in southern Missouri are going into the wood business on a large scale. Wood cutting crews are being organized and a system of transportation is to be arranged. It is wise that such a course be followed as there is no indication whatever that the strike will end soon. Even if it should end today it will require several weeks to catch up in production. If the miners are given the raise they demand it is possible that wood can compete against coal as a fuel.

The wood situation is to an extent a bright spot in the miners' strike in this section. It means that a great deal of land will be cleared off which otherwise would not be. The high price of wood makes it practical to clear much land and demand comes at a time when farmers are not as busy as they are in the spring and summer. The land cleared probably will be put into cultivation and bring additional wealth to this Leader. LOCAL TELEPHONE MANAGER RESIGNS O.
