" The woman fugitive no longer ac companied me from Chihuahua,, where I found her last Saturday night. It was ;. at her own request that I acted as her escort on the homeward Journey." It because she 'asked it that the news ! ; service which I represent arranged with , Ihe state department at Washington for i her "safe conduct" across the border ; binder the protection of the United States. t HE DESCRIBES HAMOX Ajaaln" during the 13 weary hours of railroad travel from Chihuahua, she dis WOOD SHERIFF cussed with : me the will which . Jake Hamon told her .had been drawn up and which was supposed to have left her. conditionally, one fourth of the $15,000, 000 estate. Again, as detailea in an ar ticle sent ; out by me Tuesday, she spoke of her father and mother and of her brother, Jimmy, who accompanied us on our return to the states. She reemphasized the fact that ehe was not seeking her part in the Hamon wealth for herself, but only for the protection of her people. And as the drab stretches of Northern Mexico rolled backward, as we watched through ' the car windows, she spoke more fully of the man with whose mur der she is charged. She talked of Jake Hamon. the sweetheart Jake Hamon, the hail-fellow-well-met Jak namon. the politician Jake Hamort and of Jake Ha mon, the ultra egotist. GOT WHAT HE WANTED "Eight years from now he expected to be president . of the United States." she said. "Perhaps he would have been. I really believe he would have won. Be cause he always won what he set out to attain just as he won me. "He got things like lie got me. That first day in his office, he put his hands under my arms saddenly and set me up on the long legal table that stretched across the room. He Was astonishingly abrupt. "'Clara, he said, I love you and I'm going to have you. 'I'm going to have you.' ' ' It is possible that behind the stage upon which Jake Hamon performed his political maneuvering, Clara Hamon stood and pulled the strings. BOUGHT HIS WAY "I directed his political career, just as I aided' him in his financial , ad vance," she said. "I don't mean that I approved of what he did. As a matter of fact, much of his real political sue cess was achieved because he violated myx instructions because he. played dirty, money pedtUing game. "He-bought all he won in the . game of politics. That Is an open secret. 'Ten years ago, at the time he set me upon his office desk in Lawton Okla., lie was a candidate for mayor. You would have thought that then, was the beginning of his political career, for he was elected. "But his start in politics actually did not begin until a year ago last Novenv ber, when he had money sufficient to lay the. foundation for his successful fight against McOraw for , the Republi can national committee place. ; . PtATtS TO GIVE HIM CP "He asked me if he might go into politics. At first, I told him I wished he would not. I had known politics and realized it was a dirty game. Finally, l saia : . , " 'All right, if you believe you should enter, go. But, remember, ultimately you can t nave both politics and me.' "He always looked across every ob stacle to tne very end he had in mind He answered. 'Of course, Clara, I can have both. I'll put you in the White House' and I'll make the whole world like it.' "But I knew that never could be, .so I Insisted on arranging to make what Is the supreme sacrifice to any woman I told him I would give him up, him him, whom . I loved better than all the world. I would step aside : go to Eu rope. But I demanded- of him. on the basis of our comradeship and love, that tie give me one promise. THIN KS HE'S BIGGEST " 'If you go Into the big game,' I said,' 'give me your word that you will play it rair. ."And his answer was, 'Clara, I prom ise mat There was a mirthless sort of laugh xrom the girl s lips. "He violated that promise in every way," she said. "He played the game mean just plain mean. "I could not go to EuroTM as I had planned, because my mother became and denly-111. That circumstance kept me close to him during his political strug gles. 'Clara,' he was accustomed to telling me, 'Clara, I'm the biggest man in the country, don't "you believe?' When I failed to agree, he would fly into a frightful rage. Clara, again he would ask. 'don't you think I'm a bigger man than Wil son don't you believe I look more im portant than he does?" . BELIEVED IN HIMSELF "And he would present himself before the mirror and gesticulate magnifi cently. " He believed In himself. Jake Hamon did, and because he was always so cer tain or accomplishing his ends, he iust stepped ahead and won. WAITS IOB HER PBAISE 'Clara, I'm going to be the bireest man in the United States,' he boasted. You wait and see. Why, when Harding comes to Oklahoma City I'm going to have there 10,000 men marching with torches. 'It will be. Jake Hamon and not Harding who will become big through that meeting. You wait and see." "The Harding meeting came. "I sat in a seat close to tha front, an that I could Bee and compare Harding ana mis -Dig man or mine. "Mr. Hamon had no opportunitv to meet me after the meeting. He was so mportant he was going on East with the nominee. But when he got to New York he wired me to rush there rruicklv. The plain fact was that he couldn't wait to hear me say he looked grander on the stage than- Mr. . Harding.' HE HATES HIMSELF "In New York he seized me hy the shoulders and shouted out this greeting: " 'Clara, wasn't it grand? Didn't I look like,! more powerful man than Harding? wasn t x me real nit or that meeting.' "I suggested that, possibly, the old woman who had made a brief Intro ductory speech was the real feature of me occasion. "-iMo, out me,' he shouted. "Wasn't I the biggest man in that audience you rver saw i . "He got Kfore the mirror in the room "Don't you think. Clara, that I look like the typa of man physically we'll say, who ought to be a president?' . ' "And the vanity of him burst out in anomer direction. " 'Come,' he declared, 'we will hurry down and get one of those open carriages with the driver way up in front. I think it wise for me to be seen in that sort of vehicle riding aIon Fifth avenue'." LIKED HIMSELF BEST Jake Hamon was a faithful friend only .u nimwjii, mi w-man cnarged with his muraer says. When he wanted to win over any body of men to his own cause. h nsi o invite Uiera to his room, and seek to get mem drunk. Often he would tell me of his schemes in advance and order me to be present and pass around the wmsatey. "Oh, so jovial he was during the party. "He would take the glass I had only partly filled for him and thus re main mostly sober while he gloated as the fuller tumblers brought stupidity to his viistors. . i "Jake Hamon won he always won. cut ne won regardless of the means.
