Title
Letter to Governor Atiyeh refuting allegations of bribery against Judge Richard Cantrell and the Rajneesh
Description
A letter from James M. Habberstad, the attorney for Oregon's Wasco County Judge Richard Cantrell, to Governor Atiyeh. Habberstad writes regarding a memorandum compiled by an anti-Rajneesh group, the 1000 Friends of Oregon. The group alleged that Cantrell's sale of cattle to the Rajneesh at an elevated price constituted a bribe in exchange for assistance in incorporating the city of Rajneeshpuram. Habberstad responds to the allegations, refuting the possibility of any ill-intent behind the cattle transaction. He writes that Judge Cantrell will be running for office, and accusations of this sort are an attempt by the 1000 Friends of Oregon to influence the election. This item was a part of the papers of Bob Oliver, Governor Atiyeh's legal counsel.
