Oklahoma fMty, Okla-, Feb. 20.;—Tt
Is now practically certain that the
question of whether prosecutions slialj
ho brought against those who Were
alleged to be In a conspiracy against
Senator Thomas P. Gore will bn faktm
up with the Hcpartmcnt of Justice tit
Washington.
Some sensational developments may
■result in this connection if any Dusts
is found by the department for the
theory of the Gore attorneys that nmji
"higher up” furnished the brains for
the alleged conspiracy. • •
Whether criminal proceedings wlU
result from the investigation depends
upon the conclusion reached by the
department after thorough examina-
tion of the evidence produced by the
defense in the $511,000 damage suit
brought by Mrs. Minnie E. Bond of
this city against tho senator ami
which was won by him.
The opinion seems to be general
! among lawyers that the trial of?(fee
case did not bring out enough evi-
dence against Mr3. Bond herself tend-
ing to sipyw that, she entered a cpn-
. spiracy before the alleged incident at
’ the Winston hotel in March, 10A3.
