Avila Peddler of Official Papers Faces Senate Panel
Hearst papers alleged a $1.215 million Mexican fund to sway U S senators. Miguel Avila, a dealer in forged Mexican documents, testified before the Senate Investigating Committee via Robert H Murray, a former Mexico City correspondent. Murray said Avila offered to sell a doctored document to the Chicago Tribune and claimed embassy involvement. Avila denied direct embassy sales and said De Courcy forged items. Murray asserted forgery and possible embassy ties, with several witnesses confirming the papers were not authentic.
