McAlester Pardons Law Validated by Court of Appeals
Oklahoma City judge Thomas H. Doyle ruled that Acting Governor J J McAlester validly pardoned George Crump Jr during Governor Cruce's absence. Crump walked free after thirteen months of a seven year fraud sentence tied to Indian land sales in Muskogee and now seeks to notify his mother. The decision settles authority questions over executive power and pardons, though related school book contracts face separate appellate action. County Attorney D K Pope prepared to arrest Bert Updike, pardoned by McAlester, for the killing of A B Christianson, as a warrant was issued last week.
