OPPONENTS BELIEVE
IMPE PEACHMENT OF
WALTON CERTAIN
Seek to Prevent Defense
Testimony Against KIan,
So Charges Are Dropped.
BIZ United Press

BR United Press
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. Nov. 13.
Satisfied the case they have estab-
lished against Governor J. c. Walton
is strong enough to insure his i'm
peachment, opponents OF the sus-
pended Oklahoma executive sought
today to speed proceedings to their
conclusion.
The House board of managers may
rest its case against Walton any time
and ask voto of the Senate, which
is sitting as a court OF impeachment.
AntiWalton Senators who sought
at an executive session last night to
have charges against the suspended
Governor involving unwarranted proc
lamation Of martial law withdrawn
were blocked, but attempted today to
have a proposal to this effect come
from the House. The purpose of the
move is to prevent Walton from intro
ducing scores of witnesses prepared to
testify to terrorism practiced by the
KuKlux Klan, which the Governor
will claim justified martial law.
Four Charges Dropped
Hope for introduction of alleged vic.
tlns of the Khan as star witnesses for
the defense was hit today with the
announcement of w. Z. Disney House
prosecution leader, that hearings upon
charges eight to eleven, Inclusive,
would be dispensed with indefinitely
The charges deal with the declaration
CT martial law in the State. Disney
stated testimony would be heard as
quickly as possible on the remaining
charges, followed by a vote upon the
impeachment counts.
The house that Jack bought" the
present executive mansion purchased
last spring by the Governor with the
assistance of mortgages and notes no
body wanted to buy until a public
spirited oil man came to the rescue,

banker, had its day in court as charge

against the Governor.
Some of Oklahoma's wealthiest citi.
zens appeared on the stand to tell why
they did or did not contribute to Sc
curing Walton his present residence.
1t was not until the last moment
Monday, however, when the prosecu-
ton put Dr. e. It. Bynum on the
stand, that any evidence was de-
veloped tending to show suggestion
Of corruption or bribery in connection
with the transaction.
