Henry Mayse, Deputy U. S. Marshal
Pawhuska Inquest Is Order For Former Marshal
July 31, 1942—Pawhuska, OK—An inquest into the death of Henry Mayse, one-time deputy United States marshal, has been called here for Friday before H. H. Stickelmeier, justice of the peace.
A decomposed body found earlier in the week in a culvert about 20 miles northwest of Pawhuska was identified as that of Mayse, 55 years old, missing since March.
Mayse, who served as a posse man aiding in the roundup of the Al “Spencer gang nearly 20 years ago, was convicted of manslaughter in 1925 following the death of Mrs. Josie Peck in an auto accident in Oklahoma City. Sentenced to three years in McAlester penitentiary, he broke into the limelight with a release from Henry S. Johnston, then governor, on the grounds he was not the drier. With Johnston’s impeachment and removal from office, W. J. Holloway became governor and refused to extend Mayse’s leave.
