HASKELL|S|ND|CTED
SECOND TRUE BILL CHARGES
GOVERNOR WITH FRAUD IN
MUsKoGEE LAND CASES.
SAYS THE JURY WAS sWAYED
Executive Thinks Washington Will
Repudiate Inquiry When Facts
Are KnoWn-Second Has
keIl Indictment.

Tulsa, Okla.-Govenor Charles N.
Haskell, who, with five others, was
indicted by the federal grand jury on
charges of fraud in the Muskogee
town lot cases, attributes the finding
to -four government attorneys and an
army of secret service men surround
ing the grand jury and limiting the
evidence to just what suited them"
Others indicted with Haskell are F. B.
Sewers, ". T. Hutchinson, G. w. Tur-
ner, A. q. English and w. R. Eaton.
The accused men are charged with
obtaining title from the government
to two town lots in Muskogee by lille
gal methods. Bond in each case was
fixed at $4,000 and promptly furnished.
Arrangements for the trials have
not been made, but it is thought the
cases will be heard at an early date.
Second Haskell Indictment.
This is the second indictment for
| Gov. Haskell in the Tulsa case. The
first bills were dismissed on a techni-
| cality. The federal authorities at once
began preparing new evidence along
the lines indicated by the courts rul-
ing.
The fight before the grand jury had
many sensational features. Numerous
witnesses from Ohio and elsewhere
testified.
Gov. Haskell, in discussing his in
dictment, said:
"As a result of four government at
torneys and an army of secret service
men surrounding the grand jury and
limiting the evidence to just what
suited them, indictments have been
obtained against me. J. am thoroughly
satisfied that when the whole facts
are made known in the open the gov
eminent at Washington will not APP
prove of these cases, which practically
all the people of this locality konw
have no merit and that there has been
no violation of the law in any partic-
ular.
