Oklahoma City Federal Courthouse to Host CLE Seminar and Exhibit on Osage Reign of Terror

From the court:

The federal murder trials of two men charged with killing Osage Indians in the early 1920’s will be featured in a seminar and exhibit opening December 7 at the Old U.S. Post Office Building and Courthouse. Presented by the Historical Society of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma, “The Osage Reign of Terror: The Untold Legal History” tracksthe murders of wealthy Osage tribal members, the arrival of agents with the Bureau of Investigation who investigated, and the Federal Prosecutors who charged William K. Hale and John Ramsey with a number of the murders. The federal trials that followed resulted in a landmark Supreme Court ruling, charges of witness and juror tampering, and high courtroom drama. The events took place in Fairfax, Pawhuska, Guthrie and Oklahoma City and are featured in a book and movie of the same name, “Killers of the Flower Moon.”

A reception hosted by the Historical Society and featuring a documentary film about the trials as well as Federal Court and Osage dignitaries will be held on December 7 at 4 pm in the Federal Judicial Learning Center and Museum.  The event is co-sponsored by the Bank of Oklahoma and The Federal Bar Association – Oklahoma City Chapter.  The exhibit is open to the public beginning December 8, 2023, through October 2024.
