It appears that Charles “hitehorn was murdered four or five Boe years ago on what is designated as a restricted Indian Allotment; the. Charles P. Dial Allotment near Pawhuska, Oklahoma, oe, “le BY I have information, which in my Opinion, indicates that a cer- tain person has committed this crime, this being an Osage Indian, and the land, in my opinion, being restricted land, the United States would have jurisdiction over this murder. The murder of Charles Whitehorn was cold blooded and deliberate. I believe that Frank Smith and John Burger, above named, have some data, and perhaps sufficient data in their possession to begin this investization and I believe that they can, in due time, find sufficient evidence to convict the murderer of Charles Whitehorn, Osage fuLi-blood ” Indian, I recommend that steps be taken to investigate the Murder of Charles Whitehorn, Osage Alicttee, by the United States Authorities.
