The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1910-03-12

criminal prosecutions of Governor
c. N. Haskell are prosecutions be-
cause he is governor rather than a
desire to convict the governor has be-
come evident during the past few
days through the discovery of let
ter written by high official during
the territorial days and at the time
the alleged town lot frauds were sup
posed to have been perpetrated.
This letter is quite interesting in
that it was written by Robert P. Har-
rison, who was at the time clerk Of
the United States court at Muskogee
and who is now clerk of the United
States federal court of Oklahoma,
under Judge Ralph E. Campbell, an
appointee of Theodore Roosevelt, who
is the recognized power back of the
prosecution of the governor, through
a desire for personal revenge. Mr..
Harrison is also the protege of Joe
Cannon, whose love for Governor Has
kell is recognized to be much below
par.
Mr. Harrison's letter was written
September 20, 1905, and clearly in
dicates that every act of Governor
Haskell, in connection with the town
lot sales, was backed up by the clerks
of federal courts in the Indian Terri
tory. and as it is signed by Mr.. Har-
rison as clerk and ex-otficio recorder
it must be taken as an official docu.
ment. The letter in question is as fol-
lows, and written on Mr.. Harrisons
personal stationery:

Mr. Thos. W. Wrenn,

Dear Sir: Replying to your in.
quiry through Mr. Woodward as to
the sale of lots in the Incorporated
towns in the Creek Nation, will say
that after the lots are scheduled and
appraised, they are bought and sold
the same as they are in the states,
Probably several thousand of these
deeds to town lots have been recorded
in my Office throughout the western
district.
OF course the purchaser must see
that the appraisement is paid before
he acquires a good title. The U. S.
government never has had any inter
est in these lots and when the appraise
ment is paid the Creek Nation loses

party to whom the lots are scheduled
may convey said lots to any person
by either quit-claim deed or warranty
deeds, and have been doing so in
Muskogee since the fall of 1900 when
its schedule was approved.

the lines are slangy. to be sure. but they

Bishop Burgess had nothing 20 say yes-
terdav IN answer 70 aspersions passed upon
him by Dr. George Chaffee. one Of the
wardens Of St Andrew S Protestant Eps-
copal Church. at Fourth avenue and seth
street Brooklyn. The charge was made
before Justice Garretson, of the Supreme
Court. that the Bishop had deliberately
lied in connection with the fight the yes
try is making to get rid of the rector, the
Rev. William X Ackley. and had shown
such prejudice in the rector's favor Gs TO
preclude the possibility of obtaining any
satisfaction.
Justice Gsrretson urged the exercise OF
Christian forbearauce. William y. Ford. A.
lawyer, expressed regret that the Bishop
had been attacked. and Francis 6. koehler
for the vestrv. remarked.

THAT is very true. rctorted Mr.. koeb;er.
''but We have been smitten on both cheeks

It appears. according TO the vestrymen.
that the relations between them and the
rector have been strained for several years
because Of his alleged antagonism. Mr.
Ackley's friends say that the vestry has
accused him OF incompetence and regards
him as being too old 10 serve ronger as

Il was said that the Bishop refused 10

St Andrews maintains that Bishop Bur
CESS held that in the case of the Church of
the Atonement he mad refused TO accept
any statement without the consent Of the
rector

cite1nent in court yesterday. ended as fol-

had deliberately lied 70 this depouent and

Mr Ackiey got an injunction TO restrain
the vestry from preventing him from

crowded. on the previous Sunday he was
locked out OF The church and had TO preach

vestry want 10 get rid OF the rector, it is
said that the greater part Of the congTega-
