WHEELER WISHES
CHARGES DROPPED
MONTANA SENATOR SEEKS TO
HAVE FRAUD CHARGES PEND
ING DISMISSED
Courts OF District Of Columbia Lack
Jurisdiction Says Defense; Sew
eraI Westerners Are Con-
cerned In Case

ashington.-Senator Burton K
Wheeler. Democrat, Montana, prose
cutor in the senate Daugherty fnves
tigation, asked the District OF Colum
bia supreme court to dismiss indict
ments charging him with conspirac,
to defraud the federal government ii
connection with oil prospecting per
mits in his home state.
Two principal grounds for the mo
ton were advanced:
That the senator was acquitted BY
a jury in the federal courts in Mon
tana on a charge based on Identical
allegation of facts and that the Dis
trict of Columbia courts have no jur.
isdiction over the offense charged or
sought to be charged.
The plea Of former acquittal and the
demurrer alleging lack of jurisdiction
probably will be argued the latter
part of this month, with Senator
Thomas ]. Walsh, Mr.. Wheeler's col
league, and Charles A. Douglas ap-
pearing for the Montana senator, and
Robert F. Stewart and William A.
Leahy appearing for the department
Of justice.
Should the courts sustain the plea
of former acquittal or the demurrer,
the case would be ended so far as the
present Indictment against Senator
Wheeler is concerned, and the prose
cution here probably would not be re-
newed
Should the court oyerrule the de-
murrer and the plea, however, Sen
ator Wheeler still could avail him.
self of plea in abatement chargin?
Irregularities in obtaining the indict- |
nents in the District of Columbia. If |
his should be denied, the case then |
would come to trial on its merits.
The plea Of former acquittal set
orth in detail the counts of the in
ictment against Senator Wheeler in
iontana and alleged that the same
transactions were involved in the in
ictment returned in the District of
Columbia.
The indictment here charged the
lontana senator with conspiring with
'dwin S. Booth, former solicitor of
lie department of the interior; Cor.
On Campbell. Montana oil operator.
nd James A. MACEDONIAN, to defraud
lie United States out of 10000 acres
oil land in the public domain in
ooele county, Montana. Booth and
ampbeu were indicted jointly with
snator Wheeler, but MacGowan, who
'peared before the grand jury, was
Vt indicted. Senator Wheeler also
'peared before that body. but sign
waiver Of immunity.
In the demurrer alleging lack of
rlsdiction, counsel for Senator
heeler set forth arguments that:
The allegations in the indictment
not constitute any offense under
laws of the United States.
