Governor Walton's Military Commits
sion Uncovers Additional Evidence
of Ku klux Whipping Parties

Tulsa, Okla.-Two additional whip
ping episodes, which brought to lie
the total number in the record of the
Tulsa military commission, were men
toned by a "goodly number of new
Witnesses" who appeared before the
military court. Several women were
among those who entered the cham
bers during the day.
Six additional indictments voted by
the Wagner county grand jury In the
case of Farmer Ben Wagner, who was
whipped by masked men near Broken
Arrow, October %, 1922, brought the
total of indictments in that case TO 16.
Other witnesses are summoned for
future hearings.
A new threat of custer proceedings
by citizens against Colonel L. L. Head,
the military sheriff in charge at the
headquarters of Sheriff Bob Hanford,
was made by Representative Disney,
of Muskogee, a leader of the anti
Walton forces in the lower house. A
lawsuit, seeking the return of the coun-
ty police power Of the civil officers,
will be filed, it was announced. When
the courts closed at night, the action
was not on the docket.
While the military continued their
work under Gov. J. c. Walton's proc
lamation of statewide martial law,
formal public statements were issued
by three prominent members of the
legal profession, declaring that under
the constitution and statutes of Okla
homa, there can be no martial law.
One of the statements, by former chief
Justice John B. Turner, for IA years
a member of the Oklahoma supreme
court, declared the governors action
in sending troops to command the
police power of this county constituted
IAN overt act" which Is subject to re-
view by the senate sitting as a court of
impeachment. The legislature has the
right to itself, he held.
A statement by T. J. Leahy, of Paw
huska, a member of the gathering
which framed the state constitution,
carried the opinion that "the militia
has no other or greater powers when
sent into a community for the purpose
of enforcing the law than have the
police officers in that particular com
munity."
