district court here today before Judge
Marshall on the demurrer filed by
Governor Charles N. Haskell and the
five other defendants under indict-
ment in the Muskogee town lot fraud
cases.
The defendants pleaded the statute

H. E. ASP opened for the defense.
He argued that the statute of limita-
tions began to operate from the time
of the first alleged overt act. citing
Judge Hollis recent decision in the
New York Sugar cases on this point.
instead of the last overt act. as con-
tended by the government. The de-

established.
1t was expected that the arguments
would not be concluded until late
Saturday.
