law and vas employed By the Stan
Says Oil Company as one Of its coun-
se, IN connection with its affairs IN
Ohio, where it was attacked in tie
conrts and in the legislature.
While I don't now recall the de-
tails, remember that I rendered the
company such service az could anc

The employment had no refer

in congress or to anything IN which
the Federal Government bad the
slightest interest,
THAT was so employed and
presumably compensated for my SER

reverse to be employed BY suca cor
