friends he came TO Muskogee yester-

Hubbard had no authority to commit
Jahamerson to jail unless he obtained
certified copy of his bond and ndi.

ness deal McMurray said the re
lation of his law firm with the IN
dians began when employed by the
Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians to ap
pear before the Dawes commission IN
1899. This commission was empow
cred to determine for the government
who should be admitted to Indian
tribes. There were many who claim
ed they were wrongfully kept off EN-
rollment in the tribe, and an enroll
ment with its claim on the govern
ment was estimated to be worth five
thousand dollars. McMurray said he
was asked by Governor Johnston, ol
the Chickashay tribe, to protect the
interests Of their tribe by keeping as
many claimants as possible off the
rolls. This would prevent from be-
ing further divided the property ol
those who really We're on the rolls
In this way, ultimately, McMurray
processes to have kept their thirty-onf
hundred claimants off. Estimating
these claimants each would have re-
duced the tribal property five thons
and dollars II was held that McMur
rays firm got seven hundred and
fifty thousand dollar fee.
These details were testified to by
McMurray before taking up the pre-
sent contracts.
