NONE TO HEAD ; OUSTER COURT I IN OKLAHOMA Law Provides Supreme Justice Preside; Court Calls Move Illegal. BY DON A. HIGGINS United Press Staff Correspondent OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 15. The prospect of a Court of Impeachment without a presiding officer added to Oklahoma’s confused political situation today as the Senate met to hear charges of irregularities in office against three State officials, including Governor Henry S. Johnston. The question of who would preside over the impeachment court arose yesterday when Chief Justice Fred Branson, one of the trio of accused officials, declined to serve. He asserted the self-convened session of the legislature was illegal and that for him to preside would be in violation of the law. Who Will Preside? The Senate met and conducted its business in an orderly manner. National Guardsmen called out by Governor Johnston, Monday morning, to prevent the insurgent lower House from considering impeachment charges against him, lounged about the building. Members of the House of Representatives, termed ‘traitors” by Johnston, were not allowed within the building. Should all the Supreme Court justices decline to preside at the impeachment trial, a member of the Senate will be selected to preside over the body, Senator Mac Q. Williamson, president pro tempore, said. The law provides, however, that a justice must preside when the Senate sits as an impeachment court. Avert Dual Government Possibility of a dual government in Oklahoma was averted when the Senate voted not to suspend the Governor, Branson and Harry B. Cordell, president of the State board of agriculture, while charges against them are being heard. This action was cn motion of Senator Tom Anglin and was said to be in direct violation of the State constitution. Refusal of the Senate to suspend the Governor was a decided victory for him He permitted the Senate to, meet In the State capital unmolested by his mobilized troops, but warned that any attempt to oust him from office would be met with armed resistance.
