70 the lowest level OF political crooked
ness and in his desperation given pub
illcity to a despicable lie sent out from
republican headquarters to blacken
the character Of good man and thus
seek to condone for the wrong that
Jake Hamon is charged with commit
ting.
The Death Of Gross.
McNeal also mas peddled over the
state the malicious story about the
death Of BIZ Cross. asserting positive
knowledge that the death of Cross was
not made public for "a hours in order
that a political maneuver might be
successfully made Sworn certificates
Of the attending physicians, giving the
exact hour Of the death of Cross indi-

Texas Building Company
These acts were followed by charges
against the Texas Building company
which constructed the penitentiary at
McAlester. The charges were pre-
ferred at the instance of Jim Harris,
and through a discharged employe Of
the Texas company solely for political
effect The state building inspector

state administration credit for ever
entertaining a good thought or doing
a good deed. He has spent his time
