Washington, March 12.—Edward 11.
Me).can. published of the. Washington
Post, insisted under questioning before
committee today that he had told
the truth when le testified at Palm
Beach that he loaned A. B. Pall SIOO,OOO
in 1021 iu cheeks which afterward were
returned uncashed.
Although his hank balance did not
show that amount on deposit he said his
■credit was good" and that Fall agreed
to notify him liefore attempt ifig to eash
the cheeks. This proeoodnre he said, was
“tiot unusual” and had nothing to do
. with the oil leasing program.
When he first erroneously informed the
committee that the loan had been made
in cnsli, he said, he did so because Mr.
Full had requested it at a conference
fhey had in Atlantic Pity last December.
’ Prior to calling Mr. McLean the eom
mittee questioned H. E. McKenna, chief
doorkeeper at tie,White House executive
offices,' B, W. Rtarling. of 'the White
House secret service department ami E.
W. Sniithers, chief of communication at
the White House. McKenna stated that
a telegram sent to McLean in Florida
informing him of Secretary Slemp’s de
parture ■for the south was sent because
Mcla*an asked him to send such notice
and Secretary Slemp said it would be
all right. Starling said a message he
sent to McLean related to' employment
in the MeLenn household of his lifelong
friend E. P. Wilkins, of Hopkinsville,
Ky., ami Smithers said lie took the job
of operating the Washington egd of the
Mo Lean private wire to Palm Raacfi be
cause he needed the extra ■ggiflyy. Smith
ers «tid 111* duties were f'pnffiy tee-,
ftte messages going over the wlPf-’.
Mel,cnn in a prepared statement, read
at the outset of his testimony, declared
he had ‘ absolutely no knowledge of nuy
leases tqion naval oil reserves mode at
any time to any person or company,” ex
eeiit what be lrad received from newspa
per reports.
He said he did not know Harry F.
Sinclair or E. 1.. Doheny and had uo rec
ollection of ever, having inet them even
casually and never had any interest in
any of their companies.
The statement made no reference to
his previous conflicting testimony regard
ing the loan and when his attention was
directed to tiiat subject he said he had
no further statement to make.
He said under questioning that Le had
searched everywhere for the stubs of
the check he testified he had given to
Fall but was ( unable to find them..
“There aren’t any and never were?"
asked Senator Walsh, democrat, of
Montana.
“Why yes these were Senator, to the
best of my recollection as I told you,”
the witness replied.
McLean then said that at a con.er
ence he had with Fall at Atlantic Citar
last December Fall asked him if »
f would say that he had loaned him SIOO.-
000 in cash instead of unused checks.
"Fall assured me that the loan cad
nothing to do wiEh Sinclair and Teapot
* Dome." he said.
MeLenn insisted that Lis credit was
good at the time he give Fall the
checks and that could hpve “ruled #200.-
000 if necessary ” He said Fall agreed
ito advise him before undcraking to
eash the checks.
Asked as to identity of the "principal”
in the celebrated message x>f last Jan
uary' 20th the witness said he did not
know who the principal was unh ss it
was Senntor Curtis, of Kansas.
Attorney General Daugherty was iden
tified by McLean as the author of a
message telling the publisher not to wor
ry and that he knew "what to depend
upon.”
MeLean invited O. Bascom Slemp,
secretary to President Coolidge, to come
to Florida last December.
The publisher declared he never had
anything to do with arty million dollar
slush' fund rumored to have been sent
to Washington for government officials
and declared that he did not believe that
any such fund ever had existed.
After being on .’the stand for more than
(wo hours MeLean was excused from
further agenda nee on the eommittee.

porters today in the court house and J
made a full confession of his crime. ;
"Heavens knows 1 meant no wrong,” I
he .-mid. "but 1 did it. I was ignorant)

residents of New Jersey cold with hor
ror. It is pointed out. however, tiiat if]
