Gore bribery inquiry ends in Oklahoma session ahead
Special to The Washington Post from McAlester Oklahoma August 11. The congressional committee probing Gore bribery charges finished here this forenoon and headed to Sulphur for a session starting tomorrow. Dr Wright tribal delegate denied any stake in McMurray contracts and said he supported the President on the issue. He admitted McMurray went on his note to Peter Hudson for eight dollars but paid it back. He claimed a photographed note was used to imply improper interest, noting Ballinger offered to back his note and that it was repaid within twenty days. Wright added he trusted only Bird McGuire among Oklahoma representatives regarding reopening rolls. Eastern attorney Ormsby Melarg testified about Choctaws’ $12 000 salary. McHarg said Interior Secretary asked him to draft a bill to speed tribal settlement, while Carter’s acts caused legislative embarrassments. Lebanon Kentucky voted "wet" today by a 12 vote majority in an election following a 63-vote dry result three years earlier.
