OC Jury Ends
Ballot Probe
OKLAHOMA CITY um - T h e
Oklahoma County grand jury in-
vestigating the Wagoner County
relief scandals today filed its final
report which criticized two offi-
cials The report had harsh words for
Wagoner County Attorney Max
Findley who guided a similar in-
vestigation by a grand jury at
Wagoner and District Judge An-
drew Wilcoxen who presided
The Oklahoma County grand
jury has indicted two men in con-
nection with the scandals They
are former state Sen John W
Russell Jr and Frank Easley
former head of the Oklahoma
Emergency Relief Board for con-
spiring to defraud the state in the
use of relief checks for campaign
purposes Easley also is charged
with perjury They are free on
bond
In its report the jury criticized
Findley for granting immunity
from prosecution to Earl Johnston
former field director of the relief
Board It was called a "serious
error of judgment and a formidable
obstacle to the Oklahoma County
grand jury investigation"
The report also criticized Find-
ley for allowing Bob Jeffrey cam-
paign manager for Russell in Wag-
oner County to plead guilty to a
conspiracy plea while the Oklaho-
ma County attorney was prepar-
ing to investigate
Wilcoxen was criticized for agree-
ing to giving Johnston immunity
and for taking an active part in
the investigation of the Wagoner
County grand jury and for exer-
cising "some measure of control
Over" the grand jury probe
The jury also complimented the
the Legislature and Gov Ray-
mond Gary for "quickly plugging
up loop boles" in Oklahoma's ab-
sentee ballot law
