Frank Johnson, an Umatilla Wayward Indian, eludes federal charges after his mother refuses to testify against him and claims he was given the horse and buggy. Johnson’s arrest follows a prior parole, a elopement with his cousin's wife, and a pattern of questionable escapades that frustrate prosecutors. The case hints at broader difficulty in convicting Indians without reliable white witnesses.
