Mrs. jackson Barnett Asks Supreme
Court 10 Withdraw Her Petition

Mrs. Jackson Barnett, attractive
bride of Jackson Barnett, the million
aire Indian oil magnate, today asked
the supreme court for permission to
withdraw her answer and cross petit
ton from the records. She stated that
a direct, general denial would then
be filed in the action recently brought
to set aside her marriage.
The notion which was filed with
the court today, will be referred to
Judge A NJ. Jackson, commissioner
appointed by the supreme court. In
the original case Carl j. O'Hornett
guardian for the 70-year-old Indian
chieftain, sought to return Barnett to
Oklahoma following his marriage at
Coffeyville to Anna Laura Lowe. The
supreme court refused to turn the
Indian over TO his guardian or to set
aside the marriage relations-at least
a that time. They also gave Mrs
Barnett an order for 81 900 from Bar
nett'S funds now held by O'Hornett.
Judge Jackson has not make a report
of his findings to the court.
