Title
Memo regarding an alleged bribe of a judge involved in the incorporation of Rajneeshpuram
Description
Memorandum from Mark J. Greenfield, the staff attorney for the anti-Rajneesh group 1000 Friends of Oregon, to Henry R. Richmond, director of the same group. Greenfield provides information on the Wasco County Court's ruling approving the petition that would incorporate the city of Rajneeshpuram. He writes about a cattle sale between County Judge Richard Cantrell and the Rajneesh. The 1000 Friends of Oregon thought that the sale could constitute a bribe. Evidence in the memorandum shows the transaction began prior to the court date. Other affidavits suggest the 1000 Friends of Oregon would have grounds to argue 'bribe receiving' and general misconduct had been committed by Judge Cantrell. Also included are sources, various testimonies, and a recommendation that Governor Atiyeh be contacted for a full-scale investigation. This item was a part of the papers of Bob Oliver, Governor Atiyeh's legal counsel.
