"...Clyde Bennett, Naomi Horner, and Ella McIntosh were riding in a buggy from the Horner home into Seiling when in some manner Clyde Bennett was killed by a gun shot wound to the chest...Testimony brought out at the inquest revealed the murdered boy's brother, Glenn Bennett, was ahead of the team several rods...rushed back to the scene of the shooting to find his brother dead. The two women swear that some unknown person rode up by the side of them on a black horse and fired the fatal show, then wheeled and returned in the direction which he came. They could not identify the man but cast insinuations toward the husband of one of the women, Owen E. McIntosh." He was immediately arrested; accounted for every minute of the afternoon and evening and was released. The women's story was hazy; the scene was investigated and the women arrested.

"...Charges of murder have been filed here against Mrs. Ella McIntosh and Naomi Horner in connection with the mysterious shooting of Clyde Bennett, 16 years old, near Seiling on the night of November 5...At first maintaining that Bennett was shot by some unidentified person, the women now assert...the shooting was accidental, which throws a cloud of mystery over the affair...."
The Canton Record, Canton, OK., Thurs., Dec. 7, 122, p. 1 (Newspaper.com image 607981332):
Case was heard; both sides rested their case; judge continued the case to Friday. "Thursday evening Glen Bennett and the girls made a new statement...all three told the same story...: They all went down on the creek south of where it was supposed the killing took place to spend the evening, and that upon arriving there the girls walked off a little ways from the buggy leaving Clyde and Glen at the buggy...the Colt revolver was discharged killing Glen (sic., Clyde)...they loaded the body in the buggy and took it to Seiling...Mrs. McIntosh had a divorce case pending...had asked for custody of a child...they thought it best to fix up the stories to shield her" so it wouldn't go against her in court. After taking the body to Seiling, Glen went back to the site of the blood, scraped some of the dirt up in a cap and took it to the road to make it appear this is where the killing occurred. Glen Bennett was then charged with the murder of his brother, Clyde.
