‘20 * JOHNSTON DENIES OUSTER CHARGES , Suspended Governor of Okla- ' homa to Be Tried on February 11. By the Associated Press. OKLAHOMA CITY, January 31.— Henry S. Johnston, suspended Governor of Oklahoma, today pleaded not guilty to eight impeachment articles and an- nounced himself ready for immediate trial before the Senate court. The announcement was made to the court by Thomas H. Owen of Oklahoma City, one of Johnston's attorneys. Trial on all of the 11 charges re- turned against Johnston by the House of Representatives, was set for Febru- ary 11. Although today’s hearing was sched- uled to include only eight charges, Owen said the suspended governor would waive an appeerance on three more, set for February 5, and that he stood ready for trial on all 11 of the charges. Johnston appeared a few minutes be- fore the court convened, and sat at a desk in the rear of the chamber. Owen announced that R. L. Davidson, former State Senator of Tulsa and for- mer Democratic State chairman, had been added to counsel, which included Owen and Ned Looney, also an Okla- homa City lawyer. Grave charges against members of the State Supreme Court were made by two witnesses before a sub-commit- tee of the general investigating com- mittee yesterday. Hearsay evidence presented by Owen Owen, former district judge of Tulsa, tended to show that an unnamed Su- me Court justice had bartered for favorable opinion in a case. The second charge was made by Rush Greenslade of Tulsa, attorney for the Gypsy Oil Co., who testified that his company had ‘been_forced to settle a case before the Supreme Court for $250,000 in exchange for “the malad- ministration of justice.” Joseph Bailey, former United States Senator from ‘Texas, previously testified that in his opinion the Supreme Court handed down erroneous decisions in two elec- tion contests in which he was in- “ terested. The general investigating committee, ‘delving further into the alleged ac- tivities of the suspended Governor in iconnection with business of the State highway department, was told by J. B. Smith of Noble, a contractor, that word had been given him to “join the crowd,” to buy a certain brand of cement and to execute surety bonds with a certain bonding company or lose out on high- way contracts wlth the State highway department. . | * Henry W. ulnlnar, chairman of the ‘Highway Commission md an appointee of the Governor, told the committee jthat at one time Johnston had asked ‘the commission not to award a paving icontract to an Omaha company because the did not like the appearance of its Thad Drother of Mrs, O. O. Hammonds, fidential secretary to the Governor. —_— | CRUELTY IS CHARGED. $ ur! Ethel H.

Wood, Fendall Building, against his wife, Hattle 1., Wood, 1923 | Pennsylvania avenue, the husband says his wife posed as the widow of a soldier and solicited subscriptions for flowers from employes of the Bureau of En- graving and Printing, declaring “her husband was sleeping on the battlefields of France, when, as a matter of fact, he was trying to sleep on the corded cots of St. Elizabeth’s Asylum.” Wood says he was married November 1, 1906, and was sent to Walter Reed Hospital for mental observation Sep- tember 1, 1920, and later transferred to St. Elizabeth’s. The wife and an- other man tried, he said, to have a jury declare him insane, but he was released When he learned of the alleged con- spiracy, he says, he shot the man and was returned to St. Elizabeth's, where instinct g0 JTORE ing...our time.
