Sulphur, Okla, Aug. 19.--It was
brought out in the testimony of J. r.
McMurray before the congressional
committee investigating Indian lands
affairs today that he held as many
AS half a dozen contracts with the In
dams for legal services, all covering
the same period of time.
Mr.. McMurray testified under
questioning, that for general services.
he had two contracts with the Chicka.
saws at $4,000 year each. two with
the ChOctaws at $4,000 a year each
another contract for special services
at a fee of $4,000. only SO, 600 Of
which was paid, yearly expense al
lowance of $1,000. under one contract
ana other general expenses amount
ing to $1S0,000. oil of this money
was in addition to the $750,000 al
lowed his law firm as a contingent
fee in what are known as the citi-
zenship cases and in addition. also
to the contracts by which he now
seeks to obtain 10 per cent or $1,000
600 as a contingent fee on the sale
of $30000,000 worth of asphalt ana
coal lands.
How is il that while having So
many contracts to represent the In
dams generally on regular salaries
you got a special contract on con-
tingent fee basis every time any Spe-
cial case bobbed up?" asked Repre-
sentative f. w Saunders of Virginia,
member of the committee. isn't
it strange that the Indians had to sign
so many contracts in order to get
their affairs Strengthened out whenj
the government was supposed TO look
after great part of that work p
Mr.. McMurray replied that he had
been identified with the Indians forl
so many years. they had come to look
to him to take care of their legal ar
fairs. He said hardly an act had been
passed by their tribal councils with |
out the sanction Of his legal firm.
Many OF the expense allowances, the
witness said. had been collected byi
him without the knowledge of thel
department of the interior, Also he
said. many acts passed by the tribal
legislature were not submitted to the
president OF the United States. as 1t
was asserted. was required.
Asked by Representative Miller of
whether his work had not
tended to lead the Indians away from
q close relationship with the govern
ment Mr.. McMurray said he always
had done his utmost to bring the In
llans and the government together.
It was also shown that the Indians
lad employed other attorneys besides
McMurray, each tribe paying $4,000 n
'ear and one of the tribes $l2 600 a
rear for special counsel.
How much money in the aggregated
he Indians have pledged themselves
O pay for attorneys has not vet been
determined by the committee. Me-
is to be questioned further
omorrow.
