PROSECUTION
IN TRIAL OF HASKELL
Court Rules Evidence Be Confined
to Proof of Conscious
Participation

McALESTER, Okla, Sept. 28.-The
hearing in the trial of Governor Q. N.
Haskell and others in the Muskogee
town lot cases was postponed today
until tomorrow. Federal Judge John
A. Marshall granted a request by the
governments attorneys that they be
allowed time to examine their witnesses
before putting them on the stand.
Judge Marshall ruled that the evil
dence against Haskett would have to
be confined to proof of conscious par
ticipation" in the alleged conspiracy in
the three years prior to the return of
the indictment against him, which was
on May q, 1909.
S. r. Rush, special assistant to the
attorney general said the government
did not wish to take up the time of the
court If the witnesses for the proseCu-
tion would be unable to present evil
dence under the restrictions laid down
by the court. Mr.. Rush said he did
not wish his statement to be taken as
indicating the government was not
sure of it's case. Heretofore he said
the government expected to use evil
dence Governing the entire period of
the alleged conspiracy, which began in
1901 The ruling of the court restrict
ing the prosecution made it necessary
to reconsider the governments case.
Judge MarshalPs ruling was based
on a decision handed down by the cir
cptt court of Minneapolis at ST. Louis,
Mo, last June in what was known as
the Lonobaugh case.
