Charge Against Judge Erased OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -A conspiracy charge was dismissed today against federal judge Stephen Chandler and former Oklahoma County Commissioner E.E. (Ed) Kessler. County Attorney Curtis P.

Harris said a county grand jury is slated to consider the same case. Chandler and Kessler were accused of conspiring to defraud the state of 86,094 from 1961 to 1963 by using county materials, manpower and machinery to improve private roads leading to property owned by Chandler. Harris said he decided to withdraw the case from Justice of the Peace court to avoid a lengthy tie-up through defense attorneys' legal maneuvers. Preliminary hearing for the two men, postponed from last week, was scheduled to resume Wednesday. Justice Jack Freeman was to have heard a dismissal motion filed by Chandler.

"They (the defendant) have filed all kinds of motions they want to hear first," Harris said in explaining his action today. "They'd keep us tied up in JP court a long time. We'll just submit it to a grand jury and see what they think about it." The original charge was filed late in August. Chandler later was arraigned at an unusual nighttime appearance before Freeman at the Twin Hills Golf and Country Club here where the peace justice had been entertaining friends. Chandler also was represented at last week's scheduled preliminary by his attorney.

Kessler has been in Freeman's courtroom both for the arraignment and preliminary hearing. County Births Show Decline Births during September in Comanche County were below those of the same period a year ago. according to Mrs. Mollie Randolph, local registrar of vital statistics. Mrs.
