AGED MAN 8KKK8 DEATH Murderer of Youth Ask* Sentence of Extreme Penalty The Alfalfa county jail in Cherokee, Okla., today imprisons a - man who claims to be the happiest man in t^e world ? Hecause he in going to die in the stage's electric chair March lb. He is Charles K. Marble, Oli-yearuld recluse, who shot and killed Gilbert Hutchinson, fourteen-year-old youth, in Ingcrsoll, Okla., because the boy teased him. At the time he ijd?ot Gilbert the slayer also wounded the youth's father and another brother. Hut the slaying doesn't bother the "Old Man" as he calls himself. Heading his Hible daily, Marble1 feels like he has done his best in this' world. As he looks over his past he, retninisces over how the State has grown from a jungle land to one of} the most productive ~ states in the j union and how he could have been an j oil millionaire if he had only taken the chance. Hut he didn't so he is content to let the -state of Oklahoma take his life. > "I've nothing to live for, anyway," he said. "I've worked all my life, don't owe j anybody anything and my eyes urcj going out, ho what's the use of liv-j ing." And, apparently, that is the recluse's attitude toward life. For, when he was taken before ; Judge Charles Swindall for a hearing j on first degree murder charges in i connection with the shooting of' Hutchinson in Ingersoll, Okla., the j aged man was unconcerned as to tha outcome of bis fate. "Oh, shucks/' he told the court, "what's the use of all this red, tape. Let's get down to business and have it over." "You are charged with first degree murder," said the court, "What is your plea?" "Guilty as hell, 1 killed him," was the reply. "Do you know that plea calls for. life imprisonment or death in the electric chair?" queried the court. i "Sure," replied the defendant, "but )our honor, if it's all the same to you 1 wish you would give ine the death in the electric chair. You see I've already lost one eye?the other is getting worse right along, and life in the big stir would be unbearabe. Gan't you send me to the electric chair?" The judge was dumfounded. Never before in the hiatorjf of Oklahoma courts had a prisoner before the bar asked for the extreme penalty, "Must be mentally unbalanced," said the court as he called for two specialists to examine Marble to determine if he was normal. The physicians found Marble to bo sound, mentally and physically. Judge Swindall summoned Marble again. "You told me you preferred the death penalty to life in prison," said the court. "You understand you have no appeal from this verdict, do you not?" "Yes, sir," replied , Marble, "and judge, if you want me to die as a friend of yours, please give me the chair. Please, sir." ', -fl' -yThe court studied a moment, then? "Your wish hi granted/' aaid Judge Swindell. "You hereby are sentenced to die in the electric chair in the state penitentiary at McAllister, Okla., be tween the hours of 12 a.mr and noon of March 16, 1927/' "Thanks judge/' said Marble, extending his hand to Judge Swindell. It's a yreaf< favor to me." r The aged man then wsb led hack to.the Alfalfa county jail.
