Stillwater. Okla.
May 28th, 1915.
To His Excellency,
Governor R. L. Williams, state
of Oklahoma. •
Oklahoma City, Okla.
My Dear Governor:—
In accordance with a petition
signed by one hundred tax pay-
ers of Pnyne county, Judge Hus-
ton of our district has very ' re
luctantly ordered a grand jury to
be organised and con veiled at
Stillwater for the 14th day of
June. Owing to the temporary
ill health of our judge, I under*
stand that Judge Hudson, of
Puwhuska, has been assigned by
the Supreme Court to sit in Jud-
ge Huston’s stead and preside
ever the deliberations of the
grand jury.
The court funds of our county
are almost exhausted The Coun-
,;y Attorney’s office fully advised
the citisenship of that fact os-
o^e the grand jury was drawn,
but it seems that nothing
8 h ort of a through investiga
tion of all conditions in Pay-
ne county at the hands of a
grand jury would satisfy the peo-
ple of Cushing and vicinity.
As is usual m all conditions of
he kind that exists in Payne
county, more or less rumor and
slander has gone forth from the
enemies of the present county
administration connecting them
unfavorably with law violations.
A great-deal of work will have
to be done by the county Attor-

wiae at this time, in view of the
backbiting and slander coming
by 100 taxpayers of Payne Coun-
ty, has ordered a grand jury to
be called and organized at Stil
water on June 14, 1915. On ac
count of the illness of Judge A
H. Houston the Chief Justice o.
the Supreme Court has assigned
Judge H. H. Hudson, of the
Twenty-fourth District Court
Judicial district of the State, to
hold this term of court. T^he
county attorney asks that the
Attorney General of the State be
directed to appear and represent
the State and the people before
said grand Jury. I accordingly
direct and authorize you, or one
of your deputies, to appear at
said time and represent the in-
terests of the State and the tfeo
pie in said investigation and in
the prosecution of any cause that
may be now pending in the dis
trict court of said county, or that
may be occasioned by the pres-
entment or indictment by said
grand jury, and to do any and
all things and render all advice
that may be necessary and proper
by virtue ot vour office us Attor-
ney General of this cnate.
Very Respectfully,
li. L. WILLIAMS.
Governor.

in its efforts to execute the law
of the land, hampered as it has
been by its political enemies
and the dearth of funds in the
county treasury, for which the
present administration is in no
wise responsible.
I, therefore, finally and form-
