W, Rhea, a Colorado oil man, testified that he heard such an as- surance given to Campbell in January, 1923, and that Campbell had hold him Wheeler was to be paid for it The Montana indictment charged that the senator took a fee for appearing before the interior department in the matter, Under a severe cross-examination, the witness stuck to his story but said he first had made these statements' within ten minutes after he had met Blair Coan, sent to Montana by Secre- tary Lockwood of the republican na- tional committee, although he did not know for what purpose Coan wanted the information, Prior to Rhea's testimony the com- mittee had received from Commis- sioner Spry of the general land office a letter saying the files of his office failed to show that Senator Wheeler ever had appeared as an attorney there in land matters. At the outset Chairman Borah read a letter from Commissioner Spry of | the general land office, saying that a search of the files of his office failed 10 show any appearance as an attor- | ney of Senator Wheeler before that office in the matter of land permits. W. W. Rhea of Idaho Springs, Colo., who identified himself as an bil man, was the first witness, He said he had met Wheeler at the Rainbow hotel in | Great Falls on January 15, 1923, at a conference, at which Gordon Camp- bell and H. C. Glosser also were pres- | ent, ] “The main cenversation,” he said, | “was in regard to the Phil McGowan * permit. Mr. Campbell said it would bLe fixed up when Mr, Wheeler got to ‘Washington.” “What if nything, did Senator Wheeler say asked Senator Borah, “He sald he didn't need to wo * that this would all be taken care of | when he got back here.' | Rhea said he had an interest in the | Phil McGowan permit, and thate Campbell declared if the permit was | fixed up, they would give Wheeler “quite & big siice out of it.”" “Did Senator Wheeler make any* statement when there was talk of slicing up the permit®” asked Senator Borah. | “I don't think he #id a word,” was | the reply ¢ Rhea tostifed he nover paid any sium to Wheeler in conaection with the | permit, nor did he have any knowl JMge thet Wheeler apspared in the ofiiee either In Washington or tana in connection with ft, Sonator Borah developed that Rhea m-u. an afMidavit fn connection Rainbow hotel conference, | “To Waom did you first narrate this matter?” asked Senator Borah. | “To Mr, Coan.” Rhea said he had met Coan at Den. | ver on invitation of Glosser who for- merly was an employe of Campbell. “Was this after the investigation of Attorney General Daugherty had | started 2" asked Senator Dorah, “Well, 1 guess it was,” the witness replied. Rhea said he made the affidavit within 10 minutes a¥ter he met Coan. | He added that he and Glosser and Coan had not talked the matter over before he made the affidavit, Under examination by Senator Sterling, republican, South Dakota, | Rhea sald his claim was under con- | test at Washington at the time of the | Rainbow Hotel conference. That question was discussed. “Were any other matters discuss. " asked Benator Sterling. “I think they talked about some sther jand permits” The witness declared Campbell told him during the conference that Wheeler eould straighten the matter sut because of the influence he would | have at Washintgon. Wheeler asked for data and maps of the claim. | The witness then sald he had had a | ronversation with Campbell regarding the employment of Wheeler in con- nection with the land permits and Auction Sale May 3rd, 1:30 P.
