Tulsa, Okla. May 1S.-Sensational
allegations concerning the official
conduct of Sylvester R. Rush, special
assistant to the attorney general, and
United States District Attorney Gregg,
of the northern district of Oklahoma,
were made in two petitions filed in
the federal court here this afternoon
in connection with the Muskogee town
lot fraud case.
One of the petitions is signed by
nine members of the grand jury dis
charged on Saturday last by Judge
Marshall, on motion of District Attor-
ney Gregg, who asserted the jury had
been subjected TO improper influence
The petition refutes this charge, and
in turn makes an allegation against
MessFs. Gregg and Rush 1t alleges
misconduct before the jury and eff
forts TO intimidate and coerce the
jury to return indictments against
Governor Haskell and other defend
ants regardless of and contrary TO the
proof presented, and petitions the
court to investigate the jurors allie
cations.
DEFENSE FILES ANSWER.
The defendants also filed re-
Spouse to the motion of District At
toHEeE GTegE disBatiRg the charges
of improper influence. This response
alleges that Gregg has used the Tulsa
World, of which it is stated he is part
owner, to mould sentiment and to
prejudice the court and grand jury
against the defendants; that he stat
ed he is after Haskell and associates
and no one else would be prosecuted;
that he stated he is personal enemy
of William T. Hutchinson and would
send him to the penitentiary at all
hazards: that GTegg's partners in the
Tulsa World stated TO prominent
Tulsa men that it is political prose-
cution started by William r. Hearst
