Land case probes Owen deal before election
Sulphur Oklahoma August 2 Innted States Senator Robert L Owen faced testimony that he was the principal in a suit involving Indian land contracts promising a 60 percent fee. Attorney E P Hill for the Choctaws said Owen arranged contracts years before his Senate term with Chaise Winton and Gwen to win citizenship for Choctaw Indians east of the Mississippi. Winton arranged scores of contracts, with claimants agreeing to give a share of property to Winton and Gwen, while Owen later testified for his own claim. The government valued the property sought to be restored to Indians at 12 000 000 to 14 00 000. The case centers on fees and citizenship in Indian Territory and the role of Owen after his election.
