successful operation OF his original
holdings.
He said he was trying to get the
money from Edward B. Mclean (the
publisher of the Washington Post)
but was not certain he would get it."
Finally, Fall telephoned him In
New York saying he had failed to
get the money from other sources.
II told him I would be glad to
let him have it," Doheny said.
And what was said about terms?"
II told him I would loan the
money on the same terms he was
seeking from others. I told him not
10 bother with a mortgage: that his
note was good enough for me-"
Doheny offered Fall a check.
He said no. He preferred to have
the money"
Explaining the need for enIarging
Falls ranch holdings. the witness
said all the water flowing through
the Fail ranch came from springs
on the farm he wished to buy.
The Water IfODlGm.
ut Is difficult for you people out
here to understand the water prob
lem out in that country" Doheny
said, turning TO the jury. 1T Is abso-
lutely vital. There have been cases
OF murder over a water hole out
there from the earliest days"
The upshot was that the money
was brought from New York to
Washington by Edward L. Doheny,
Jr.
MY son brought me the note. I
put it in my wallet" continued the
witness.
Then he added:
II saw if an accident happened TO
me, the note would prove an instru-
ment of torture to Fall. 1t was a de-
mand note.
Il tore it, to save Fall from
burden he wasn't able 10 carry"
Finally Got security.
But more than three years later,
Doheny said, he received security
from FAN for the loan. That was in
March, 1924. He identified SO shares
Of stock in the Tres Ritas Cattle and
Land company as the security. This
is Falls New Mexico ranch corpor-
alton.
The security was given more than
a year after the senate oil inquiry
in which Doheny first told of the
loan. He said he had cleared up in
his mind many details OF the franc
action since his appearance before
the committee. His memory had been
helped by a review Of his senate tes-
timony and personal records, he said.
The net value of the 33 shares of
stock turned over by Fall was esti
mated at 100000.
Fall told me the stock represent
ed a one-third interest in the COM
pany," said Doheny. He told me
there had been a very bad year in
1924. and that many cattle had died
because of the lack OF rainfall and
that he was unable to pay the prin-
