Said MadSeR

Going to bed and refusing to get up

| diligent efforts to land him in prison
Tor fraudulent use of the mails. The
government won, and Jackson is now
/ in Leayenworth prison to serve

Is sentenced to pay a fine of $4,000.
Jackson, who is believed to be in
reality w, j. Nichols, once a promot-
or, banker and member of the legis-
lature in South Carolina, appeared IN
| Oklahoma as manager of the Little
Giant Crude Oil Brner company, El

TO ge Jackson and two others. Jack
son knew his time was up and piled
into bed. He refused to get out and
when pulled out said he would not

of two countries, does not take much
stock in the suks and he said: "All

Jackson grabbed his clothes and
took some time. He picked up a big
bundle Of books and newspapers and
he took them all the way to Leayen-

recall having disturbed it. Detectices
were summoned, but before they
reached the house a member of the
