CHoCTAW TE6TlFIES HE KNEW NOTHING OF TELEGRAM BEAR.
 ING HIS SIGNATURE.
ALECK UNABLE TO READ
Says He Put Name to Letter Handed Him by Chief Johnson of Chick asaW Nation, but Didn't
 Understand 1t.

Sulphur, Okla, Aug. 1S.-After spending almost the entire day ques- tioning George Scott. former treas urer of the Choctaw nation, learning various ins and outs of his handling Of the tribesmen's funds. incidentally bringing out for the second time that J. F .MoMurray held other than land contracts with the Indians which would have returned him over 1,oOO,- 900 in addition to his s3,00O.000 con- mission for selling the lands, the con grsssionai committee Investigating the charges of bribery brought by Senator Gore, was drawn to close at. tention almost with a jerk just before adjournment when 1t was discovered through witness that telegrams and letters supposedly from full -blooded Indians had evidently been sent to Washington without the Indians hay ing any idea as to what tie messages were about.
 This came through the testimony of Davis Aleck, a Mississippi Choctaw.
 Did you send telegram to Rich ard c. Adams at Washington. indors- ing his position in regard to the Choc- jaws" asked Congressman Miller.
 Never heard of 1t before," an Swered Aleck.
 Yes, but here is a communication signed with your name, saying that you have read in the papers of what Adams has been doing" Miller said.
 T didn't read the papers. for I can't read" said Aleck
 On cross-examination, Aleck said he sent letter to Washington, but did not write it. Aleck can write his name and said he signed the letter, however
 Who gave you this letter to sign" asked Miller.
 Aleck replied it was Governor Doug las H. Johnson, chief of the Chicka- saw nation. Miller asked Aleck what was in the letter.
 Tt said something about 10 per cent and some money I was to get, the Indian replied. Aleck said, how ever, that he did not know where the money was coming from or why he was to get it.
 You liked Governor Johnson so we'll that you thought anything he said was good enough for a Missis- sippi lndian?" queried Miller. Aleck said he did.
 This is the first testimony brought out showing interested fullbloods were among those sending telegrams and letters to Washington.
 Sulphur is rapidly filling up with famous Indians and squawmen, who are here as either witnesses or merely spectators. Governor Johnson of the Chickasaws, here with his wife and daughter. may testify. Cecil Lyon, of Texas, who has been mentioned in the inquiry, is also here and Governor Haskell is expected
