HESSER IS SENTENCED TO SERVE TWO YEARS Rev. P. C. Hesser, of Payne county, was sentenced Thursday to federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, and fined $100 on perjury conviction in connection with his testimony in the trial of W. K.

Hale and John Ramsey for the murder of Henry Roan, Osage Indian. The sentence was by Judge John H. Cotteral, in federal court at Guthrie. Asked by Judge Cotteral if he had anything to say, Hesser made an extended speech, protesting that he had only made an error and had not intentionally perjured himself. Roy St.

Lewis, district, attorney, asked the maximum penalty for Hesser, but Judge Cotteral held that the offense was of a minor nature and that the sentence he imposed was sufficient. Judge Cotteral denied a motion for a new trial and the minister's attorney immediately gave notice of intention to appeal, posting an appeal bond of $2,500. The contention in the trial was that Hesser, a member of the grand jury that indicted Hale and Ramsey, testified that a confession by Ramsey, introduced before the grand jury, was not signed, the government contending it was signed. Ramsey had set up a contention the confessionhad been signed later than the date it was written. Other members of the grand jury testified that the confession was signed and in order when it was submitted to them.

More indictments of witnesses in the Hale-Ramsey cases, on charges of perjury, will be sought, Lewis announced after the conviction of Hesser. Hesser formerly was a deputy county assessor in Stillwater, serving in the term of George W. Taber, assessor.

NEGRO'S DEATH CAUSES MYSTERY FOR OFFICERS Cause of the death of George Thomas, negro, discovered at his home in the southwestern part of Stillwater Friday afternoon, is a mystery which county officers have not unraveled and which likely is to remain unascertained. Thomas was found dead, lying on his bed, by his brother, John Thomas, of Perry, with whom George Thomas's 12-year-old daughter had been visiting. John Thomas and the girl came from Perry in mid-afternoon.

When they went to the George Thomas home, at the corner of Hester street and West Eleventh avenue, they saw the body on the bed. The door was locked and all the windows were fastened. The brother went to a near by house and obtained a hammer, with which he forced entrance to the house. Sheriff John B. Calderhead and County Attorney C.

C. Suman were called, Stillwater negroes, under leadership of John Brown, asking that an investigation be made. Calderhead and Suman went Thomas home. Dr. I.

A. Briggs was called. Two theor.es exist as to the cause of the negro's death, a heart attack and acute indigestion. Doctor Briggs County Attorney Suman says he believes in the former theory, while lieves, from various circumstances uncovered, that an attack of ind.gest.on was the cause. Thomas was last seen alive at a negro cafe near his home about 10:30 o'clock Thursday night.

He apparently had gone home and retired, not having left the house again, as the body was clothed in a night shirt when found. Thomas had been dead only about an hour when his brother arrived, it was believed. Thomas was the negro shot by Joe Deming, Stillwater barber, on the night of January 15, in an altercation at the negro's home. When the report of his death became current, much speculation as to the cause being an aftermath of the shooting, was voiced by his friends, but County Attorney Suman said Saturday that physicians had assured him that such a cause could not have prevailed. Thomas was shot in the chest, one of the two bullets which struck him remaining imbedded several weeks before, it worked out.

He apparently recovered from the bullet wound and had regained his health. A charge of shooting with intent to kill is pending in district court against Deming, who is at liberty under bond. The case was set for trial in the current May term of court but was continued for the term. County Attorney. Suman says he has learned fight Thomas had with a local negro known as "Big Boy" Brown, in March, when Thomas was severely bruised and beaten, but no direct connection with such injuries and the unexpected death of Thomas can be made.

The body of the negro was taken to Guthrie Saturday for burial.
