Oklahoma County grand jury case labeled pure bank by official
Oklahoma County District Attorney Curtis Harris called the grand jury probe a pure bank and said it protected someone, noting four of five indicted men invoked the Fifth Amendment and none named the governor. He asserted no evidence tied Governor Hall to criminal conspiracy. Jenkins described funding the governor’s personal bills from contributions. The five indicted include Jenkins and others tied to the Cowen Construction Co. Harris said the defendants could have testified but did not, and he criticized their later statements.

Harris Defends Grand Jury Approach and Affidavit Demands
Harris questioned witnesses' silence under oath and urged sworn affidavits while asserting the grand jury was not called by Gov. Hall. He claimed no external influence on his action and said Hall later provided investigative reports for his use. Jenkins said funds raised were handed to Mrs. Ralls or the governor as directed, without direct talks with the governor.
