The Indians also will be asked, it is
understood, whether they really
want to sell their lands or whether
they have been persuaded to do so
by attorneys representing the all
legged syndicate that is trying to get
control of the property.
At Senator Cores request, Cores
statement previously published was
read before the committee.
Curtis then resumed his testi-
mony. So far as he knew, he said,
McMurray always dealt fairly and
did not resort to improper methods,
He told of many Indian land bills
that had come before the commit
tee and declared whenever there was
any doubt as to the benefit that
might be derived from the measures
the committee always sought to pro-
tect the Indians. Curtis was then
excused.
d. c. McCurtain, an Indian, was
called to the stand after Senator
Curtis was excused. He testified
that McMurray had offered him $25,-
900 if he would withdraw his OBJ
lection to the sale of indian lands.
McCurtain at that time was a dele
gate representing the Choctaw ma
tion.

murders on the starbuck ranch in

said Captain Peterson, of the Oak
land police department today.
Moreover, we have received re-
ceipt signed by young Kendall for n
registered letter. This was dated
July 18, and if the Kendalls were
murdered this would tend to place
the murder after that date.
Kendall, however, was seen alive
by persons in Cazadero as late as last

Captain Peterson ~as reluctant TO
discuss his theories of the Kendall
murder. He said he considered the
discovery of Thomas KendalPs
whereabouts, II he is alive, necessary
before further charges were made in
connection with the crime.
Although 1 am unwilling to eX-
press any opinion as to possible
theory" he said, II certainly believe
that young Kendall must be located.
The fact that the remains OF but two
bodies have so far been found give
a curious turn to the situation.
If the third member of the family
is still living he must have left the
vicinity of the crime, as no one has
seen him since the morning of August
1.
"As for the report that Mrs. Star
buck or any member Of her household
will be detained pending the inyesti-
cation, there is absolutely nothing 10
