Before Carter left the stand McMur-
rays attorneys obtained from him testi-
mony tending to show that Mcclure. IN
previous Indian matters, had supported
measures in Congress opposed to the in
terests of MCMurray.
Carters appearance on the stand foi-
lowed another day of lively testimony.
= r Latham former United States
district attorney. of McAlester related a
meeting with McMurray two years ago,
when McMurray. he said. offered him a
present of $4,000 if the old tribal con-
tracts would go through
Share of Big Fee.
These contracts were afterward disap-
proved by President Roosevelt What the
present" was for. Latham declared, he
never could make out. for he was not
asked TO support the contracts.
At another time. Latham testified. he
was offered a share of the seven
hundred and ifty-thousand-dolar attor-
ney's fee, which McMurray subsequently,
obtained in an Indian land deal, after the
amount of the fee had caused much dis
cusSion in Congress. The last oner, the
witness said was made contingent upon
his aiding MoMurray. who was then try

convention at Chicago. McMurray did not
go as a delegate, and Latham said he
never received anything.

regarding his counter charges that Rep

sums of money from McMurray.
AT a luncheon Hamon said, lin the
restaurant of the House of Representa-
tives June "a last, Creager. McMurray
and myself were present. Creager said
he needed $1,000 to conduct his campaign
in Oklahoma. ] took the remark as a di-
rect request on McMurray. After lunch
1 asked McMurray why he did not give
Creager the $1,000. McMurray replied he
could not give money to Creager. as he
had legislation pending in Congress. and
it would not look good
Can Prove It, he Says.
Hamon testified he had a witness to
prove that Creager had asked McMurray
for money.
Didn't you on May last ask Repre-
sentative G.. d. Carter to urge me to
withdraw my bill holding up the Nc
Murray contracts?" Hamon was asked
by Senator Gore.
II did not" replied Hamon.
Called to the stand Representative
Creager repeated his deniais, given pre-
viousy in interviews. He said he once
had asked McMurray for a loan of
$4,000, but it was to be regular bust
ness deal, involving security. The loan
was never made.
