NO CONVICTIONS
 FOR LAND FRAUDS

Muskogee, Okla, January 28-F ederal officials in charge of the land fraud probe admit tonight that there will be serious difficulty in securing convictions. AS the hearing of witnesses progresses it is be- coming evident that the grand jury will not indict for the mere transfer of lots by dummies where the forgery of the names to the schedules is not proven. In other words, if the papers are found to be drawn with names which witnesses admit to be their own, no charges against the landholder, who utilized the dummy method will be returned
 The government bases it's hope for wholesale indictments largely on the as- sumption that admitting the absence of forgery, the transfer by dummies con stituted conspiracy.
 Harry N. Daugherty, an Ohio politician. arrived today to testify before the grand jury.
