ANSWER FILED ID VA! TON'S REQUEST Oklahoma Officials Make 0b- jections To Deposed
 Governors Brief

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1o.-The at torney general of Oklahoma and of- ficials of the state assembly, who were in charge of the impeachment trial of Gov. John c. Walton. field in the supreme court their objections to the application of the former gover- nor for review of the proceedings.
 The brief declared that Walton did not assert his innocence of the charges presented against @.lm nor the claim that he was wrongfully convicted. In the final analysis the only objection urged by the former governor, the brief asserted, is that certain senators were disqualified to sit and that the impeachment court refused to permit any senator to be used as witness on either side.
 The brief said the senate was the sole judge of the qualifications of it's members. It also argued the i'm propriety of a person sitting as a judge appearing as witness. Had the 2S senators objected to by the former governor been disqualified, the result would have been the same, the brief declared.
