Statement Frank Coshaw, Attorney General Civil Case No. 1062

              Frank Coshaw made the following statement:
 After I entered a plea of guilty, which I did at the suggestion of Chief Gustason, Chief of  Police of Tulsa, and who also suggested to me to take a ten year term, and ten minutes  afterward stated to the County Attorney that he had suggested no time whatever to me, I  furnished both orally and in a written letter, which I gave to Bay Ward of the City Police  Force of Tulsa, instructions as to how a certain gang of car thieves could be taken, as to  where certain cars were then located, and offered to accompany the officers to help  consummate this raid. I was never given an opportunity to go altho I was repeatedly  assured that for that assistance to the officers of the City of Tulsa I would never be sent  to McAlester, but would be granted a bench parole. I was brought to McAlester where I am  now serving my time.
 Claude Barker, formerly salesman of the Smith Motor Car Company of Tulsa, is the head of  this gang.
 As I have been double crossed by the officers in Tulsa I am afraid to talk to any one. I am  afraid to come clean and tell all I know to Mrs. Van Leuven, but I will think the matter  over and in a few days, with the permission of the Warden, which has already been granted-  I will write a letter.
