Grand Jury Drawing Is Set
For II O'clock Thursday;
Moue for Probe Unexpected

Prospective members u the grand
Jury which has been called 10 uyr,.
ugate crime conditions in Oklahoma
City and county will be drawn a, II
o'clock Thursday morning. according
TO Cliff Myers, district court clerk
this morning After the twenty tour
names have been chosen by Myets
and Sheriff g. + Johnson, by alter
nate drawing, and have been duly re-
corded on the lists OF each, the uer
will be Subpoenacd TO appear for
qualification as jurors as soon as pos
,ible.
Myers said this morning that he
had not as yet received official mott
iica,lon TO draw the Jury but that
Judge George W. Clark probably
would file IT this afternoon some
time. The grand jury will be ordered
to report on September 8, as ordered
by Clark.
A oanya" OF the persons employed
at the courthouse shows that the call
my OF the grand Jury was unexpected
and the source from which It came is
great surprise Many theories are
advanced as TO the possibility Of a
political faction behind the move
Among these j, offered the theory
that Mayor J. {. Walton, following
his request to the attorney general
for a grand jury investigation and
the refusal Of same. was the instiga
tor Of the petition tina, was circulated
by W II. Erwin.
On the other hand, !, is believed by
some that Erwin's petition was drafted
some two months ago and that he has
been quietly working on it ever since,
succeeding in obtaining the final sig
natures following the reoen, bank
robbery al Whca,land.
