Oklahoma uprising treason charges for draft resisters
U S District Attorney McGinnis stated that men arrested for resisting the draft in central Oklahoma will be tried for treason and that the government will seek the death penalty. He sent two deputy attorneys to arrested districts to gather evidence against alleged traitors as a second week of guerilla fighting unfolds across Seminole and Hughes counties. Two more deaths reported last night, part of an escalating death toll now with over two hundred riot prisoners. General Crowder cautions that only a few misinformed individuals threaten enforcement while the draft calls all men aged 21 to 30 to military service and preparations proceed.
