State To Rest In Bailey Trial
In Tulsa Oklahoma the prosecution is to rest its case today in the Claude W Bailey trial on charges of conspiring to defraud the state. County Attorney Howard Edmondson has called seven witnesses as Bailey’s defense plans to file a demurrer arguing no link to conspiracy. Bailey, a six term commissioner, is accused of conspiring with garage superintendent Ben Angel and Motor Exchange officials to misuse county funds. Angel has pleaded guilty and testified about air conditioners bought with county money, while a witness who shot himself near jury selection was also connected to the case.
