Witnesses Missing In Oklahoma Soldiers Seek Them
Six persons missing from Tulsa county after testifying before Governor Walton's military commission are being searched for by troop detachments in four counties. Captain Wallis said three men and three women, viewed as important witnesses in upcoming court actions, disappeared from their homes following their appearance before the martial board of inquiry. The Oklahoma court adjoined the rehearing of an appeal over a secretary of state's veto of an initiated bill to allow the legislature to convene to investigate state officials. The court did not order submission of the question but removed legal barriers, leaving open the possibility of an injunction to block the election question.
