WASHMOOD RELEASED (Ardmore Democrat) A Washmood, who was charged with the killing of Ben Collins at his home near Emet on the night of August 7, had a hearing Saturday afternoon on a writ of habeas corpus before Judge Townsend, and was discharged. The evidence that led to the arrest of Washwood was circumstantial. Collins was shot from ambush while standing in the front door of his home. Washmood, who is an insurance solicitor, had been in the county near Collins home for several days and it is said had offered Collins $500 per day to accompany him on tour of soliciting insurance, but something in his actions caused Collins to be suspicious of him and he refused. It is also said that on the night the killing occurred Washmood had made arrangements to spend the night at the home of Collins but for some reason unknown did not do so. This case has attracted considerable attention on account of the mysterious way in which Collins was killed. It was not known if Collins and Washmood had ever had any trouble. Collins was a prominent Indian citizen and a deputy U. S. Marshal of that country and had a family. Little is known of Washmood prior to his coming to Durant about one year ago, but it is said that he has been arrested for boot-legging. Washmood has been in jail since August 7, and has brought suit against Judge Dielerson for $500 damages for the reason that he refused to hear habeas corpus proceedings. Washmood was represented by Hon. Jerry M. Crook of Durant. C. E. CLEM'S Beautiful home for sale.
