Oklahoma City. Aug z5 Press.
dent J. Alexander Moore OF the Girls
College al chickasha continued bis
tsetimony before me governor In the
board OF education inquiry Thursday
afternoon one or the sensational de-
velopments relating to the threat or a
libel suit against him.
The libel suit threat emanates from
Col. Thomas J. O'Neill Of Chlckasha.
who had demanded re9action Of the
statements refiecting on Colonel
o'Neill's daughters alleged to have
been made By President Moore In a
secret report TO the board on the CON
ton Of the school. The existence OF
a letter making such a threat was
brought out Thursday afternoon by
State superintendent Wilson. who was
erossexanining Moore. and the let
ter ITSELF was produced BY Moore.
The letter was not placed In evil
dcnce but Colonel O'Nein. who was IN
the room. Immediately announced that
he was the author OF the letter and
waA willing 10 stand back Of every
thing IN it. He repeated his declara-
tlon that Moore was liable to criminal
prosecution for libel and also for civil
damages. aud again demanded a re-
traction Of the statements IN ques-
ton.
Attorneys for the board wished to
place the letter In evidence for the
purpose Of showing the motives that
actuated Moore. The governor stat
ed, however, that In his mind il only
strengthened Moore's statements in
regard 10 the whole case. as under the
pressure OF such a letter Moore might
have been disposed to disclaim respon-
slbillty for the dismissal OF the Misses
Mcneil and place II on the board, but
had testified that he did not recon-
mend them for reelection.
Moore was on the witness stand for
five hours.
The important part Of his testimony
was that which related to alleged ef-
forts OF r. H. Wilson and Scott Glen
to influence his recommendations for
faculty places. He asserted, however
that he had refused to yield to that in
fluence when he felt that the parties
recommended were not the proper
ones. On cross examination by vii
son. he admitted that Wilson after ex
pressing his views in regard to some
members fthe faculty had told him
70 select the faculty without regard
to wiisong personal feelings, and that
ali OF their conferences in regard tt
faculty matters had been Of the mos
