I have a couple of old newspaper dated Nov 1965 the headline is Will Harris Trial End Bloddy Era in Pond Creek or Commence a New One. It has 4 pictures at the bottom of the front page (1) Charley Harris (2) Victim Betty Newton (3) Victim Jerry Meritt (4) Prosecutor Willard Pearce
The other paper I have the headline is: Jury Finds Chalie Harris "Guilty" To Ask New Trial; Minimum 14 years
These newspapers were hugh then, too big to scan. Let me know what information you would like regarding the newspaper articles and I can type it out for you.

I live east of Tulsa Oklahoma. My great grandfather was Oliver Hancock Harris, and I believe that when (uncle Charlie Harris) came to Tulsa my great grandad was where he stayed which was very short visits. I remember us all celebrating grandad and grandma Harris 50th wedding anniversary, uncle Charlie came by for a short period of time a convoy of three cars, uncle Charlies car was the middle car and the front and back cars was guarded by machine guns.
After a short visit the gentleman in the front car hollered lets go Charlie we don't have much time.
I remember being so scared and hanging on to my dads pants leg. Any one interested can e-mail me at nedraosborn@.com

I'm trying to find out info on my dad who I've been told hung out with Charley. The only information I have is his name was Robert Smith and lived in Fairfield. I think his middle initial was L maybe for Louis or Lee. My brother remembers my father taking him to a warehouse and my dad having a gun and my brother remembers something about a fire. My brother was very young so he can't remember much. Does anyone know anything about this?
