Law Firm Wins Large Fee in Citizenship Court Decision
Justice Anderson refused to enjoin payment by the Treasury and upheld a $750000 fee to Manafiid McMurray and Cornish for legal services in recovering Indian lands from claimants. The Choctaw and Chickasaw citizenship court had full power to fix compensation and ruled that the fee is proper under federal law. The injunction against the Secretary of the Treasury and Interior was denied, and the petition by Richard McLish and others was rejected as defective.
