Was Ever Employed
By Him in Oil Deals

Edward L. Doheny, multi-million-
aire oil magnate, who recently
startled the Senate oil investigators
by stating that he had employed
many ex-Cabinet officers and ex.
public officials, denied today that
Bainbridge Colby. ex-Secretary of
State, had ever been on his payroll.
Through his counsel here, Doheny
said he had never offered employ.
ment to Colby ''or any of his legal
associates"
The denial was made presumably
to quiet some of the sensational
runors that have flooded Wash.
ington since the Oil scandal de.
veloped.
Following his retirement from the
State Department on March 4, 1921,
Colby formed a law partnership
with the late President Woodrow
Wilson and opened offices here.
The partnership was dissolved some
months ago. Mr.. Wilson acted in
a consulting capacity and never
took any public part in any cases,
