Johnson appointed to fill unexpired term after death
Officers suspected hijackers as Johnson, appointed last April to replace the late Albert Withers, received commission for a padlocked night club in Deer east of Muskogee for legitimate purposes. Bennett and Johnson were released on $300 bonds. Bennett charged with unlawfully carrying weapons after officers found a 1C caliber carbine and a nine millimeter luger with shoulder attachment in his car. He posted $200 bond and faces trial on that charge in city court April 1. Sheriff Supert said information indicated Johnson and Bennett were transporting whisky into Muskogee county from Missouri. Three prowlers watched bridges on the Arkansas River when Bolton spotted the car. Edmondson said federal officers are examining the weapons to see if any federal firearm violations exist.
