MURMEO IN
FEIB OF KiJN
Oklahoma Judge Hears Body
Would Pack Robertson
Jury.
MOVE IS CHECKMATED
Hepburn Charges Delay and
Governor Insists on
Trial.
By the Associated Press. /
Ada Okla. Dec. 2.—Having weath
^^another legal tempest tbe bribery
case against Governor J. B. A. Robert-
son of Oklahoma was limping along
today toward trial on tbe scheduled
date ten days hence.
This morning however there was
one bulk-head to be closed before the
case got on an even keel. But Special
Judge Tuomas A. Edwards was ex-
pected to arrive here from Cordell dur-
ing the day and patch things up by pro-
viding a court to try the governor in
something thaf has been lacking since-
late yesterday when District Judge J.
W. Bolen of Ada adjourned the Pon-
totoc County District Gpurt until next
April.
Judge Bolen adjourned tbe winter
session of the court sine die despite
the fact that Governor Robertson is
scheduled to go to trial on December 1.
He explained that lie acted to protect
the ‘‘sovereignty’’ of his judicial dis-
trict und because he had received re-
Iwirts that the Ku Klux Klan was “or-
ganizing a jury here for tbe governor’s
case. ”
Move Is Cheek-mated.
His move was check-mated instantly
by Chief Justice* John B. Harrison of
the State Supreme Court who recently
issued an order prohibiting Judge Bolen
from acting in the case. The chief jus-
tice instructed Special Judge Edwards
who he assigned upon the disqualifica-
tion of Judge Bolen to proceed here
and convene a special session of the
court in preparation for tbe trial on
December 12.
| Judge Bolen went on to explain that
there was no conflict between himself
and Judge Edwards. Some hours after
adjourning court he said he was ready
to convene a special session himself if
both tbe prosecution and defense desired
him to do so. Judge Bolen declares his
^disqualification in favor of Judge Ed-
wards was unwarranted nnd a decision
from tbe Supreme Court on the legality
Uf the writ of prohibition against him
now pending.
Case Is Transferred.
Governor Robertson’s attorneys had
he case transferred from Okmulgee
ounty where the indictment was re-
utned to thi.4 (Pontotoc county) appar^
^A^.vith the intention of getting a
< rdict before Judge Bolen. However
Jhief Justice Harrison stepped in dis-
inalified Judge Bolen nnd assigned
udge Edwards of Cordell.
Governor Robertson declared Inet
light that he was disappointed with the
cl ion of Judge Bolen because he wanted
o. get a final verdict as soon as pos-
ible.
On the other hand James Hepburn
pkmulgec county attorney who is con-
hocting the prosecution charges that it
uns another move of tbe executive to
llefay trial.
J. D. Lydick chief of counsel for
Hr. Robertson met this with the decln*
ation that he knew that no person con-
weted with the governor’s case had any
onobection with Judge Bolen’s decision
o adjourn court.

a thousand persons most of them ne-
groes were homeless here today and
property valued at nearly $2000000
including a number of business struc-
tures was laid waste as tbe result of a
fire which swept through twenty blocks
of the eity yesterday and defied tbe
efforts of fire-fighters from four other
cities for eleven hours before it was
brought under eoutrol last night.
Tbe entire fire force of tbe city was
fighting another big blaze on the op-
isisite side of tbe town and the flames
under a high wind spread rapidly before
efforts to check it had begun. Despite
the arrival in the next few hours of
fire apparatus from Kingston Golds-
boro Greenville and Washington N. C„
the fire continued to rage through the
residence rection where more than 300
homes were destroyed and then spread
down the river front destroying otner
structures. Only the open space of a
cemetery prevented the flumes from ad-
vancing into the central business ais-
trict.
Empty warehouses churches the Y.
M. C. A. and scores of residences were
offered as shelter Inst night for tbe
homeless but hundreds were compelled
to spend th night in the open. State
troops were patrolling the devastated
area today and the local chapter of the
Red Cross was aiding in the care of
the fire sufferers. No fatalities or in-
juries beyond minor burns resulted
from the conflagration.
