An information was filed in county
court by County Attorney Russell
Brown against ID, II. Ireton and Mary
Doe alias Hattie T.. Ireton, for false
pretense and in connection with the
information is n story of a rather
unique way in which it is alleged
that Ireton obtained over $4,000, by
means Of a cleverly executed plan,
seldom encountered in every day
criminal prac2Se.
The information sets forth the fol-
lowing allegation
They, the said d. r. Ireton and
Mary Doe. alias Hattie f. Ireton,
did wilfully, unlawfully, fraudulently
and feloniously obtain Of and from
the State National Bank Of Ardmore,
Oklahoma, a banking corporation or
ganized under and by virtue of the
laws Of the United States Of America,
and doing business in Ardmore, Okla
lahoma, the sum of S4,23O, good and
lawful money Of the United States
of America by means of false preten-
ses and statements as follows, to-
VIII nat Auty, Nit Sdiu - ~ ~
ton and Mary Doe, alias Hattie f.
Ireton, presented themselves to the
officers of the State National Bank
of Ardmore and represented that the
said Mary Doe alias Hattie r. 1reton,
was in truth and fact Hattie r. Ire
ton. and had her execute a mortgage
under that name which said pretenses
and representations were false and
untrue and were at that time known
to the defendants to be false and un-
true, and which said representations
were relied upon by the said State
National Bank, its employees and Off
GERS and they were induced to depart
with the money:
The story az related by County Rus
sell Brown follows:
Ireton who is a citizen of Grady
county has acted as guardian for his
minor children: he has n daughter
by the name of Hattie f. Ireton, who
was student at the Central State
Normal at Edmond; while she was at
tending this school, d. r. Ireton, her
father, procured girl and entered
her as a student of the Ardmore high
school as his daughter and named
in the information as Mary Doe
alias Hattie T.. Ireton, and after the
stage was thus set obtained the
money, as set forth in the complaint
According to County Attorney Brown
after Ireton had placed the girl ir
the Ardmore high school, he made
application for loan on his daugh.
ter $ farm, securing, upon his repre-
sentation upward of $4,000, and after
the papers had been prepared tolt
the loan company that they would
have to be sent to Ardmore to bt
executed.
The papers were sent to this city

together with the money and deposit
ed in the State National Bank to
await the execution Of the papers.
The alleged daughter in school
here. was brought into the case and
duly executed the papers as required
by the loan company and it is alleged
the money was then paid over to her

between the bank officials and lreton,

identified as his daughter, and this
was done through the superintendent
of city schools.
The girl was enrolled as a pupil.
under the name of Ireton and deem
ing nothing wrong in the transaction,
there was no trouble experienced in
getting the matter before the bank
ers in q satisfactory manner.
After the money had been paid the
man and high school girl disappeared
from Ardmore, and nothing developed
further until the real daughter, find
ing her farm mortgaged, filed suit in
the Grady county courts TO have the
mortgage set aside alleging fraud
among other things.
This started an investigation that
led to the arrest of Ireton at Chick
asha last Saturday. a deputy sheriff
has been dispatched for him and he
will be brought back to Ardmore to
stand trial.
County Attorney Brown stated that
he had several transactions with Ire
ton while he was serving as United
States attorney, and is well ac'
quainted with him.
Ireton may be brought to Ardmore
some time today and will be given q
preliminary hearing before County
