make personal service on all per-
sons indicted. Therefore II Cover
nor Robertson Is included, the shcr-
IN must go to Oklahoma City to
serve the warrant on him unless the

Dennis whereabouts Is not known
here. A recent report was to the
effect that he was sojourning either
in Mexico or In Texas near the Rio
Grande. The same reports state
that Dennis Is a physical wreck.
Franchise Rights Lost.
Concerning the investigation OF
alleged election frauds in this county
the grand purys report states that
"one Of the most important crimes
presented TO us for investigation
was wherein tho sacred right OF
franchise has been said to be lost.
In this matter the grand Jurors were
awakened to the quick, and our in
vestigation of that matter was rigid
and painstaking to the end that the
innocent might not suffer, but that
the guilty might be brought to JUS
tice.r Only one short paragraph in
the report was devoted TO the in
yestigatlon of the defunct Bank of
Commerce and of the Guaranty state
bank which was taken over by that
institution.
It was this transaction that caused
a legislative investigating commit
tee TO make its probe last year.
which investigation involved Cover
nor Robertson and state Bank Com
missioner Dennis. and IL is the mat
ter on which I. p. Farmer, manager
o. the Tulsa Clearing House associ-
alton. made an investigation and
submitted a written report for the
first grand jury.
This one paragraph follows: "Our
work Is expressed I'm the indictments,
but because Of legal complications
that might arise It Is deemed best
TO make no comments or eXplana-
tons regarding same.'
II is understood that n much moro
volumnous statement concerning
the banking situation was originally
prepared by the grand jury and that
after consideration OF the subject
and the necessity for an unprejudl-
-rlal report. II was changed and con-
densed into the one significant par
agraph printed above.
Probe Covers Town Jails.
Virtually all OF the report is de-
voted 10 results Of Investigations by
members Of the grand jury OF the
county poor farm and OF various
lalls over Okmulgee county and TO
recommendations for the improve
ment OF these institutions.
Credence 10 the belief that Cover
nor Robertson and Fred G.. Dennis
were indicted is lent by the visit

Edolado. Okla, Carter paid $4,000
LOT the farm on which II is alleged
an OIL and gas lease was sold by
Dennls to John II. Rebold OF Okmul-
see for $4,000. II was this trans
aclon that apparently precipitated
we legislative investigation. When
