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.
