When Warren Harding won the White House in 1920, his campaign received millions from Jake Hamon--\"The Oil King of Oklahoma.\" Harding planned to make Jake the most powerful businessman in America. But Mrs. Harding (some called her \"The Duchess\") had one condition--Hamon, a married man, had to end his affair with his long-time mistress, a girl named Clara.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJake and Clara had been together for ten years, since she was seventeen and he was thirty-seven. But Jake coveted the powerful Washington job, and he dumped Clara a couple of weeks after Harding was elected.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA few days later, Clara shot Jake.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy the time Jake died, Clara was in the wind. A headline-grabbing national search was conducted for the beautiful fugitive. Clara \"sightings\" were reported far and wide. A pair of colorful lawmen found Clara in an unlikely hiding place and brought her back to Ardmore, Oklahoma to face the charge of first-degree murder. What followed was one of the most sensational murder trials of the era. A \"dream team\" of powerful lawyers surrounded Clara in the courtroom. Soon Hollywood came calling, wanting to put Clara's story on the big screen...starring Clara as herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David R.
