Oklahoma Republican editor held on false pretenses charge
O R Williams of Ada, editor of the Ardmore Republican, is jailed in Ardmore after allegedly obtaining funds with forged promises to publish a party newspaper. He reportedly borrowed $500 from Republican leaders and $80 from Jake Bodovitz, planning to cover a printing plant he did not own. Local officials say the motive was fraud, with no secured backing beyond a hoped printer deal. Complaints are expected from the aggrieved Republicans who pledged subscribers and funds.
