We refer TO the charge that Mr.. Cross

Mr.. ROBERTS
Is PREPARING
FINLEY CASE
Entirely New Feature to Pro-
bate Judge Cases
IN MATTER OF CONTEMPT
Attorney General Thinks He
Has a Good Case.

Guthrie, o. T., May S.-An entirely new
feature in connection with the probate
judge cases in the new country has been
brought about by Attorney General Rob
berts. At his instigation the grand jury
in session in Kiowa county investigated
the official actions cf Probate Judge Fin
ley. and, upon the request of this body.
Judge Burford suspended him from Of
hce He was also given five days in
which to turn over to the court the fees
collected in the proving Up of townsites,
and il the money is not turned over in
that time he can be held for contempt Of
court. This last feature Is the new one
in Oklahoma affairs 1t is the first time
that a probate judge whenever up before
court has been compelled TO turn over
the fees collected by him ana if he re-
fused he would be held for contempt Of
court. Attorney General Robboi1s worked
on this idea for some time aad. ayr

cided that the proposition would hold

Burford This method of procedure viii

legations which will be carried on in the
