ARGUED BEFORE
HIGHEST COURT
Former Oklahoma Governors

To Delay Case

Washington. April | One of the
bittercst fights in the history of AM
crican Jurisprudence was brought in
to the supreme court when it reach
ed for argument the appeal of
former Governor John e. Walton to
set aside his impeachment by the
Oklahoma legislature. The federal
district court for western Oklah oma
had refused to review the impeach-
ment proceedings. H..
Today the proceedings of the su-
preme court were cnlvened byran
effort by counsel for the former
Governor to have consideration of
the appeal postponed. Counsel for
the Oklahoma House Of Representa-
tivcs and other defendants opposed
the move.
The appeal of the former Governor
was based on the grounds that he
had not been given Il fair and i'm
partial trial in the impeachment pro-
ceedings. He alleged that the Ku
kluX klan and other influences dom
mated the Oklahoma House in his
impeachment and the Senate of that
state in his trial
The lower Federal Court refused
to take jurisdiction.-

SUPREME COURT JUDGE

Many local political, leaders have
expressed surprise that Burleigh F.
Spaldng, chairman of the Real Re-
publican state committee which is
sued call for the jamestown con-
vention, included in the offices for
which candidates are to be indorsed,
the office of supreme court judge.
There is much opposition to bring
ing the judgeship into politics
through Endorsement of a candidate
for the position. No candidate was
indorsed by the league for the one
vacant place on the supreme bench,
and many feel the Independents
should do likewise. There is some
speculation as to whether there is
any connection between Spalding' S
inclusion of this office and his re-
puted desire for seat on the su-
preme bench again.

Washington. April ll.-(By the A.
P.)-The stay-at-homc section Of the
Daugherty investigation committee
went on with its hearing today with
Senator Moses, New Hampshire, pre-
siding in the absence of Chairman
Brookhart, and J. j. McGraw, Tulsa,
Oklahoma banker, on the witness
stand.
McGraw said he knew Harry NJ.
Daugherty very we'll and also
knew the defendants in the Miller
Brothers Indian land frauds cases
in Oklahoma. McGraw formerly was
Republican nationa committeeman
from Oklahoma and he explained his
understanding of the political af-
filiations of the members of the
Miller Brothers group. He had Il
''general knowledge" of Millcr's land
deals, the witness said, but had not
been consulted by them in the deals
nor had he directly financed those
deals through his bank. After indct-
ments were returned the Millers
talked to him and he always
advised them to contest" the cases.
Asked if he knew the report of
Cox and Rankin, two investigators
who inquired into the case, the wit
ness replied: "Oh, no, don't think
| ever met those men,
SOUGHT DAUGHERTY
One of the Millers, after the Hard
ing administration went in, came to
him to get Daugherty's attention at
port.
Il saw Attorney General once or
twice in 1921" MtGraw said. I'VE
discussed the Cox and Rankin report
and | asked him to go into ft."
McGraw quoted Daugherty as say
ing, I'm going to prosecute these
cases; there is nothing else for me
to do
. Daugherty also told him, he said,
that he was thinking of employing
a prominent Democratic lawyer
in the case. McGraw recommended
Judge Armstrong of Oklahoma but
Daugherty selected former United
States Attorney Peck.
The witness told Of conversations
with Senator Harreld, Oklahoma,
whose attitude toward the Millers
was very vicious he said. The
Senator told him, he did not want
those boys to get away with all
those oil lands down there" McGraw
said.
NO OIL THERE
The witness said he had told Sena-
tor Harreld there was mo oil in the
lands and that Senator Harreld
went with him to see Daugherty and
any statement he had made |
to Daugherty indicating that the
case involved oil lands.
The Millers never contributed a |
dollar, McGraw said, to any of his !
election expenses in Oklahoma. He
was defeated for reelection as nation
al committeeman by the late Jake |
Hamon. He said he had never heard |
stories of extraordinary expenditures
by Hamon in the Harding campaign |
until they came up before the Senate |
committee.
