COMES c o BACKYARD
AT AcCUsERs
REPUBLICAN CRAFT
BROUGHT OUT IN HEARING
Statements Showing How Print
ing Bids Were Manipulated
in Territorial Days

The taking Of testimony in the in
Gliry into the Republican charges
against Governor Haskell closed at 10
,'clock last night. Governor Haskell
was the last witness examined ana
produced records which he c0nsid-
cred proved d long continued conspir,
3cy to graft on the part Of the Staus
Capital Printing company during the
territorial DAYS.
Iii closing the taking Of testimony
Chairman Smith Of the committee,
stated that d telephone message from
Lawler Indicated thai be would be UNI
able to attend for several days YET,
but that room for his testimony would
b. KEEP, open until February 25, 50
tlai il could be taken il he was able
Nv that time. Both sides were given
until next Friday afiernon to file
written briefs, summing up the eyl-
doncc. and the law as presented 10
the committee.
AT the beginning Of lllc heaiing
lrsi night Governor Haskell annouE-
ced that at an executive meeting 81
HE committee Yesterday afternoon ne
had filed copies Of the record OF the
work done by o. r. Smith on his Ohio
trip and The work done by l.awler,
both in investigating the territorial
accounts and in gathering evidence
both locally and in the East to b.
used in the oil and gas cases pending
IL oklahoma.
Attorney Clark asked a number OF
unimportant questions, going over
testimony that hal been alfe3dy IN
tsoduced and unintentionally drew
f,om Governor Haskell a disclosure
Of Republican iniquity Of territorial
days involving again Judge J. II. Bur
ford, who prepared the Republican
charges against the governor. Clark
had asked Governor Haskell whether
I.awler had acted as attorney or as
accountant in Investigating the ter
rilorial accounts.
Governor Haskell replied Al length
He said that when Mr.. Cole, since
deceased was examining the terlitor-
Isl acc counts, several startling things
were discovered. Ii was found that
the State Capital Printing company
or Guthrie, usually put in two bids,
enc not stating a price and the otner
for a very high price; that Gseer's bid
was entirely TOO high in comparison
with other bids. John II Burford. ter
ritorial CHIEF justice, was found to
have approved one such bid involving
a sum of $4,000 for territorial stat.
uies and reports. This sum being $50
under the lowest BID Where there
vas no competition Greer's higher
bid got the business. Often the State
CAPITAL bids were found TO have been
written in on typewriter blank I'M
n.ediately prepared.
1T was such evidence as this, said
Governor Haskell, that led me 10
look further and 10 employ Mr. Law
ler.' ,Ie further found that the Guih
rie state Capital had by such favorit
i'm received for territorial printing
tiom two and one-half to seven times
as much as they have bid for similar
work since statehood. The governor
said that Lawler had been engaged
among other things to race down ihf
persons interested in these deals.
