Looth, the witness said, entered the Department of Justice after leay- ing (he Interior, but was “no longer with tne Department of Justice Proceeding, he read several letters he said were exchanged between Wheeler and Campbell, in 1923, re- lating to Campbell's oil projects, and suggesting methods and persons from whom the oil promoter might obtain capital for development. In Septem- ber, 1923, Campbell suggested that he would like to huve Wheeler's law office handle all his business, accord- to these letters, and got an answer, in which Wheeler spoke of the inability of his office and his law partner, Baldwin, to handle the liti- gation without some money. Baldwin was endeavoring to collect $1.000 from Campbell to apply on the legal account. Campbell. responding. Dieaded inability to meet the bill at that tinie. Wheeler wrote that Bald- win had charge of all Montana busi- the law firm and asked to take up the matter Wheeler on Stand. Senator Wheeler asked the right to ‘take the stand, as Pratt finished, and’ Chairman Borah granted it. Senator Borah directed Wheeler to tell pf the “scope, terms and circum- stances” of his employment as @ lawyer by Campbell. i Tom Stout, Wheeler said, a former representative from Montana, had | asked him to represent Campbell in state wourts and general litigation. The employment began in January, 2 fter Wheeler's clection to the Senate. but before his installation in office.

Property Was Valuable. “Campbell controlled property in the Kevin fledd, which was regarded as valuable” Senator Wheeler said, “1 feel quite confident that Camp- bell's syndicate could have sold out | for §1,000,000 at the time. oil companies were coming in. But he was in litigation with his partner and threatened with a receivership.” Deseribing his legal work for Campbell, the senator said he wanted | the committee to understand that he had met his client in secret on one occasion, as was testified in the hear- ing, because process servers had to be avoided “There wasn't any wrong inference drawn from that,” said Senator Ster- ling. Republican, South Dakota “Oh, there was an inference sought in that testimony,” replied. Senator Sterling asked about the ‘permits to drill for oil on govern- ment land “There was nothing said about per- ‘mits,” Senator Wheeler said of his pconterences with Campbell. “Didn’t you give some assurances ‘there that when you got to Washing- "ton you would straighten up these permit titles?’ asked Senator Ster- ling. “Positively not to the best of my Tecollection, which I think is quite clear,” Senator Wheeler replied. He added that the idea was “ridiey- lous.” Senator Sterling cited the ti timony of members of the Campbell syndicate, and of H. C. Glosser, to the effect that government permits had been discussed in meeting with Wheeler. The Montana senator then made his denials specific. Tells of Legal Work. Senator Wheeler proceeded to de- seribe the legal work he did for Campbell. “The only time I remember permits coming up was at Great Falls,” he went on, ‘“‘when during January er February, during one of my visits en the law suits, Campbell called me to his private office, where there was an attorney for the Standard Oil of Cali- fornia. They were trying to straight- €n out us between themselves some permit to land on which there was a well T told Campbell then that he could come down to Washington and straighten out the thing himself.” Senator Wheeler said he won Camp- bell's first suit, but found a “raft of_litigation” coming up.
