PUBLICATION is REGRETTED
Pres. Anderson Sorry that Ouachita-Hen-
dirk Controversy was Made Public.
FROM TUESDAYS JAiLI.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
| see in yesterdays issue OF The
Log Cabin Democrat that you have
an article of considerable length
on, Hendrix Boys Are Indig-
nant." You will allow me to say
that | am very sorry indeed that
such a publication was made.
From my point OF view there is
nothing to be gained by discussion
that tends to make the colleges OF
our state antagonistic toward each
other. The recent contests at
Little Rock are settled and so far
as | see nothing is to be gained by
reference to them.
Besides, Ouachta will be the
gu st of Conway this week. DR..
Hartzog, the president of Ouachita
College, is to deliver the literary
address for our public schools, and
the Ouachlta Hendrix debate is to
be held in the Hendrix College
auditorium on the evening OF May
Is. 1t is the duty therefore OF our
schools as we'll as all our citizens
to make the visit of the president
and students of Ouachita College
to our community as pleasant as
possible. What though we do
disagree about insignificant mat
tiers? The great task of Ouachita
and Hendrix is one and the same.
We must not forget that we be
brethren and fellow workers in the
same great field. | repeat there
fore, Mr.. Editor, that | am sorry
that the publication OF yesterday
appeared in your most excellent
and enterprising paper.
Very respectfully,
STONEWALL ANDERSON.

Attorneys for the defendants pres

were Henry Asp. o. T Smith and A.

Is assisting in the prosecution, was
also present.
At the press table besides represen-
tatiyes Of the local papers were Marx
Goodwin, Oklahoma staff correspond
ent OF the Dallas News, and o. d.
Hall of the Kansas City Journal.
Judge Marshalrs opinion covered
fifteen typewriter pages, entering in
to discussion OF all the main objections
to the Indictment offered in the de-
mRurrer An objection upon which
the court placed most serious consid
Grafton was that which alleged that
"the overt acts are not in their na-
ture such ais tend to effect the objects
Of the conspiracy" Such acts as fill
ing for record Of deeds from the sched-
ulees Of the lots to the conspirators
and the signing of deeds by one Of
the conspirators to subsequent
grantee are held to be insufficient, but
the court holds that the object of the
fraudulent conspiracy vas to obtain
title to the lots and when this was
accomplished the conspiracy was exc
cuted.~ "Until this was done,@ says
the court, "any act BY one Of the con
spiraiors tending to its accomplish
ment, was the overt act required BY
the statute to make the conspiracy
punishable
Concerning the objection raised BY
the demurrer that the Indictment does
not allegc that the lots which the de-
PENDANTS conspired to obtain were un-
Improved lots, "it being contended that
any one in rightful possession
of a number OF improved lots
could lawfully purchase all Of
them at one-haIf of their ap-
praised value Without any limitation
as to number. and second that the in
dictment does not negative the right
of the intended schedldees.n the court
says, \ am Of the opinion that the
character Of the conspir-
acy did not depend on the condition
Of the lots. as to being improved or
or what would have been
the rights Of the proposed schedules,
Il they had acted.
A cognate objection that the indict-
nent does not certainly allege that the
defendants could not have directly pur-
shased the lots in question at the price
named is held to be immaterial for, in
he language OF the court. whatever
heir competency to purchase might /
rave been. they could not lawfully ef-
ect that purchase indirectly by mate
Tally false representations.
The objections tnat the Indictment
ans To allege thae th. secretary Of the
Interior approved the plating and ap-
or that the townsite in
question belonged to the Creek tribe,
re not held valid. 1T is sufficient
hat the ultimate fact is pleaded, with

out the addition Of evidentiary facts
proving IT,
As the contention that the indict-
ment is duplicitous. the court says
that conspiracy usually must be a
continuous crime. and there is no rea-
son why the statute OF limitations
should BY its sole force divide con
tinuous crime into two offenses.
