that although he did not care to di.
vulge the business of his clients. he
was compelled, because of the unfair
method of Senator Gore, to say that
he was in Washington at the time of
the alleged attempt at bribery as the
paid attorney for Governor IIasEen
and other defendants in the town lot
cases.
He denied that any conversation
took place with Gore relating to the
Offering OF s25,0O0-or any otnt+-srm
for the approval Of the McMurray
contracts. Witness also asserted
that the testimony of Congressman
Creaser was untrue and that he had
not in any way made an improper
proposal TO the Muskogee congress
man.
Hamon told OF alleged shady deals
in connection with buying lots in the
Gore addition, adjoining Lawton, sew
eral years ago. He said that ne and
Gore and number of other friends
had agreed to buy the lots in as
cheaply as possible and not to bid
against each other, but that Tope
Brothers. two Hebrews, had bid in a
number of the lots, bidding against
Senator Gore, and causing him TO
pay more for his lots than the wit
ness paid. Hamon admitted that
they were getting mighty close to the
danger line, but still did not violate
the United States statutes. The land,
he said, was supposed to have been
government land held for school pur'
poses.
"Do you think this was piece OF
honorable business" inquired Con
gressman Miller I'VE people in the
west do not look upon things like
you do" answered Hamon.
Burke Resents lmputaton
Chairman Burke of South Dakota
took exception to the statement, de-
claring that he was from the west.
I'VE try to get all the land as
cheaply as possible without violating
the law" said Hamon. Il really ex.
pected we violated the statute, but
| did not think of it at the time"
"Then you think 1t is no harm to
beat the government" said Con.
gresham Campbell.
"Well, | was not a member OF
either house OF congress and If the
government assumed the debt Il mat.
tered not to me-" replied Hamon.
Senator Gore then examined Ham
on with reference to business deals
with Congressman MCGUIRE and j,
McMurray in an attempt to get the
witness to admit If there were any
deals between them, HamOn admit
| ted at one time that he had known
for some time that Senator Gore

pressed for specific instances he said

when Gore said: "If ! get chance
