LEO meyer LAYS
DOWN THE sword
STATE AUDITOR RESIGNS IN THE
FACE OF IMPEACHMENT
CHiRGES-HIS REASONS.
MAY FILE CHARGES YET
Criminal Prosecution May Follow.
Succeeds Him.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 12,-(Spe-
cial.) l.)-Twenty-four hours before he
was to be tried by the senate sitting
as court Of impeachment, State Au-
ditor Leo Meyer today placed his un-
conditional resignation In the hands Of
Governor Lee Cruce. The resignation
was at once accepted and,J. G. McClel-
land of Oklahoma City. was appointed
to succeed him. The house, in execu-
tive session, this afternoon, dismissed
the impeachment charges against tho
auditor.
These were the rapid-lre develop
ments in today's affairs. Confession
to the house impeachment managers
by a clerk of the state auditors Of
flee which tore down the defense Of
Meyer, was the direct cause of the
resignation and subsequent dismissal
of the impeachment charges, 1t is
said. The confession, 1t is said, de-
veloped that the evidence produced by
Meyer at his recent hearing on the
criminal charge OF perjury was false
and perjured
70 Senate Today.
When news of the auditors resig-
nation reached the house, that body
went into executive session and adopt
ed a resolution Withdrawing the Inn
peachment charges. The resignation
will be sent to the senate and formally
adopted tomorrow.
1t was currently reported around
the legislature this afternoon that
criminal charges of serious nature
will be filed against Meyer very soon.
1t was also reported that the house
had appointed a committee to request
that a grand jury be called to inquire
into the Meyer transaction.
The sudden resignation OF Meyer
and the following events came as a
bombshell to every one. That the con-
fession from one of his assistants who
testified for him in the recent prellm-
mary hearing to the effect that he, at
that hearing. had perjured himself,
was the direct result Of the events. IL
generally admitted 1t was also re-
ported that the quiet hand OF a for
mer state official who had been sum-
moned as n witness in the case had
much to do with this event.
Meyers Reasons.
Mr.. Meyer gave as his reason for
resigning that the recent charges
against him were seriously affecting
the health of his wife and mother and
for their sake he withdrew.
j. c. McClelland, who succeeds
Meyer is connected with an Oklahoma
City bank and was until today mem
Der OF the state banking board.
