During the course of a trial at
Woodward Oklahoma, one day
last week a witness admitted to
the presiding judge that he had
a revolver in his pocket, and the
court fined him $25. The local
paper says : “When the judge
fined Tom Word for carrying a
gun every other man in the
court roqm sat erect and smooth
ed his coat tails down to hide
his armument. When a recess
was taken every man made for
the nearest outlet and “hid out”
his battery. Best estimates place
the number of guns in the court
room at the time at about two
wagon loads.”
