In 1913 Robert Hamilton managed to get a Hearing before a Joint Committee of Congress, where he charged McFatridge with openly appointing members of the tribal council from those half breeds who supported him, that he circulated a petition amongst the Indians asking that Clara McFatridge be retained as Financial Clerk of the Agency, and then represented the petition to the Indian Office in Washington D.C. as a spontaneous request from the Blackfeet Indians; that Leslie McFatridge was allowed to use agency vehicles for his store deliveries and has captured the majority of the agency business through his relationship to his father, that Clara McFatridge has destroyed records relating to her son’s business transactions with the agency, that the Indian judges appointed by McFatridge were requested to lead a tribal delegation to Washington D.C. to testify that the Blackfeet Indians wished to sell their surplus lands left over after allotment was completed, which Hamilton testified was a lie, but the judges maintained their position by doing the superintendent’s bidding. Hamilton testified that McFatridge used his powers to abuse Indian women by throwing them into the agency jail until they bowed to his desires. He committed two Indian women to jail without cause or provocation and confined them to jail for two weeks, and their little children were thrown into jail too, and they were kept in a dark closet for several days.
Mary Running Rabbit signed an affidavit as follows: “I, Mary Running Rabbit, being first duly sworn according to law, depose and say; That I am thirty years of age, and that I am a ward of the government, being a Piegan Indian; That I am the mother of a child four years old named Mary; That the father of my child is said I.T. Whistler, Postmaster at Browning, Montana; That said I.T. Whistler led me to believe that I would be his wife; That he deceived me in doing so; That I have applied to Superintendent McFatridge, Agent of the Blackfeet Agency for help to persuade said I.T. Whistler to help support my child, but that Supt. McFatridge refuses to lend me any aid; That said I.T. Whistler refuses to give me any assistance.”
