BIG Men MIXED Up N FRAUDS
Sensational Developments Expected as
Result of Grand Jury Probe at
Muskogee.

Muskogee, Okla, Jan. &c. - Sensa
tional developments which will prob
ably involve some of the most promi
nent men in this state are expected
during the progress of the federal
grand jury investigation of alleged
town lots frauds, which will begin
here next Tuesday.
M. I. Mott, attorney for the Greek
Indians. who brought the 10000 suits
tn the federal court to recover on b.
half of the Greek nation lands of i'm
mense value, alleged to have been Sc
cured by fraud by the persons now
controlling them. last night dictated
the following statement:
Does Not Absolve Haskell.
"There is not a word of truth in
statement quoted by Gov. Haskell
as having been made by Scott Mac.
Reynolds, attorney for w. R. Hearst,
to the effect that had said that had
not found evidence to connect Has.
kell with any criminal conduct in re.
lation to the Muskogee lot matter.
but that I might be able to force an
indictment which will answer our
purposes. never made such q state
ment to MacReynolds or to any one
else"
1t is believed that many indict-
ments will follow as a result of the
investigation.
Fear Suicide Of Accused.
Sensational reports are in circula-
tion here to the effect that at least
one of the men against whom the fed
eral grand Jury will probably find in
dictments this week is being closely
watched by his friends as precau-
tion against his committing suicide
Some of the accused have offered rep
resentatives of the government to sur
render the greater part of their
wealth for the benefit of the Indians IL
assured that they will not be prose-
cuted. These propositions have not
been considered by the officials.
Use Judges as Dummies"
From an unofficial source it is learn.
ed that the government will offer the
evidence of hundreds of dummies"
whose names were used by the ac-
cused to schedule lots without their
knowledge or consent. These dunn
miles," who will begin to arrive Mon.
day. in obedience to subpoenas, are
for the most part men of affairs and
of the highest standing in the COM
munity in which they reside. Some
are judges, some are prosecuting at.
torneys. one an ex-governor, and a
number are bank cashiers. They are
all friends of the men against whom
they will have to testify.
