He said under questioning that he had searched everywhere for the stubs of the checks he testified he had given Fall but had been unable to find them. “There aren't any and never were, were there?” asked Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana. “Why yes, there were, Senator, to the best of my recollection as I told you,” the witness replied. McLean then said that at a con he h Atlantic 1 with Fall « st December, Fail asked him he would say that he had loaned him th 0,000 in cash i in used checks. "Fall assured me,” he said, “that had nothing to do with Sinclair and Teapot Dome.” McLean insisted that his credit was good at the time he gave Fall the checks and that he could have “raised $200,000 if necessary.” He said Fall:agreed to advise him be- fore undertaking to cash the checks. Tt the outset McLean read to the committee this prepared statement “Having in mind the subject of this investigation and having in mind the widespread use in the public press of my as one who might have had s¢ with the naval oil the companies, ment departments or s who did have also leases, or individuals, public no knowledge regarding es upon naval oil reserves made at any time to any Person or any company except such knowledge as I, in common with all the rest of the American public, have received from newspaper re ports “As to the so-called Sinclair leases and companies: “I never have known anything about any lease of any oil land to the Sinclair company and know nothing today about this except what I have read in the newspapers. I do not know Mr. Harry F. Sin clair and have no recollection of ever having met him even in a casual way. I have never had any interest of any kind directly or in- directly, for myself or any other person, in any of the so-called com panies. “I did not even know that there was such a thing as the Mammoth Oil company until I saw it men- tioned in the press reports in con- nection with this investigation. I did not know as anyone who reads the newspapers would have known that there was a company known as the Sinclair Consolidated Oi! company, but I have never had any LOAN EVIDENCE GIVEN IN GOOD FAITH, MPLEAN SAYS ON STAND ington, D.

I did not know that he had any connection with any leases upon naval oil reserves until I read of them in the newspapers. “I do not know the names of Mr. Doheny’s companies but I am in- formed that he is president of the Mexican Petroleum company and of the American Petroleum company, and that those companies like most large ofl companies have branches “I have never owned directly or indirectly for myself or in connec tion with any other person what ever a single share of stock in the Mexi¢an Petroleum company, the Pan-American.

My personal acquaintance with Secretary Denby hes been a vory slight one. I have had no business rel ons whatever with the navy department and have never been inte ted in or connect- ed with any contracts of any kind made by or with that department. “The newspaper with which I am connected may have carried some government advertising but, of course, will be recognized that this is a matter not handied by me personally. “Because there have been publish. ed indefinite and unfounded rumors from which the inference might be drawn that I had icipated in the purchase of oll stocks. although stock transactions I are my own pe. affairs, have no relation to the subjec! your committee is authorized to in vestigate and to the end that the utter lack of foundation for many of the reports which have been sent out of this city may be shown.
