Attorney Testifiew. A. McLane, United States at- torney at Nashville, Tenn., followed Burns to take up the Old Hickory powder plant case. He told of his efforts in 1922 to start an investiga. tion of the case. It waa the opinion of government experts that a re- covery of “from $5,000,000 to $15,000,- 000" should be made, he said, from the du Pont Company, which had the Old_Hickory contract. “There has never been an investig: tion of the Old Hickory case up to this time,” McLano declared McLane corroborated the statements of George Storck, Department of Jus- tice accountant who made survey of the case, that du_ Font lawyers were furnished by the War Recovery Board with a “questionnaire” on the case for “explanation.” He sald Storck told him at the time that his own original survey report was among papers in the du Pont lawyer's hands. The witness also produced letters exchanged with Special Assistant At- torney General R. H. Williams, which he said showed an “unfriendly” atti- tude on Willlams' part toward prose- cution of the case A letter to McLane from Willlams In March, 1924, said that “mosat of the rumors of fr had_grown out of “misunderstanding” of the govern- ment's contract with the du Ponts. The attitude of Maj. Gen. C. C. Wil- lams, chief of ordnance in tho War Department, McLane declared, “wa: entirely hostile to any investigation. Time Nears En The statute of limitatlons would, he sald, prevent “crim!nal” prosecu- tions in the Old Hickory case after next November.. He had pressed for prosecutions “on that Idea,” he said. Molane urged tue committee to “look into the making of this con- tract.” It granted powers not con- tained in any other war contract, he said, and the making of it was most to be criticized. He urged the com- mittee Lo aee “who™ made it and what the “object and motives’ in making it_were. “I have no reason to say that Mr. Holland_knew or didn’t know that the du Ponts had the Storck report,” McLane said. McLane protested when Senator Wheeler called for a letter Mr. Hol- land wrote, saying that it_‘ought not to go in the record” Wheeler said the letter “showed the close con- nection between du Ponts and the Department of Justice.” The com- mittes ordered him to go ahead. Concerned Libel Suit. Holland's letter ‘concerned a libel sult filed against the Nashville Ban- ner by the E. L du Pont de Nemours Company, on account of publica- tion of articles about the Old Hickory case. The newspaper defense was that it had used reports from McLane on the subject, Holland said. Hol- land said he was “hopeful the suit would furnish the information” as to what government official gave out reports for publication “What he was concerned with was to find out how the Storck report got to the public?” Senator Wheeler asked “That was it ‘But he wasn't concerned as to who gave it to the du Ponts before” Chairman Brookhart asked. In the answer, McLane said that the “du Ponts had the report two teks before there was any publica- tion.” “It couldn't do any harm to the i government's case.to give this to the { public ter the du Ponts got it?" {Semator Whaeler aske | “That was my view,” MoLane said. i e.

DAUGHERTY EXPLAINS | REFUSAL OF RECORDS Letter to Successor Says U. S. In- terests, Not Personal, Guided Decision in Case. Explaining that he had refused rec- ords of the Department of Justice to the Senate investigating committee because it was “inimical to the gov- ernment’s business” Harry M. Daugherty, former Attorney General, in a letter to bis successor, Harlan F. Stone, declared yesterday that it was not for personal reasons he had done it, as “there is no information relat- ing to any case in the department or any other act of mine as Attorney General that I would have withheld.” “l know Mr. Attorney General,” wrote Mr. Daugherty, “that you will be guided entirely by your own good Jjudgment after you have become fa- miliar with the questions invoived, motives behind the requests for files, and the government's welfare. Per- sonally, 1 would be glad to have you give any complete files relating to any and every act of mine as your prede- cessor and to give the widest publie- ity possible to the same, so far as you consider you have the right to do ro.” Mr. Daugherty sald that to have acceded to the demands of the com- mittee ‘would have been quite bene- ficial to me personally,” adding. “if publicity had been possible great aredit would have been reflected - on the Department of Justice for Jts unprecedented accomplishments as disclosed by the files.

POTTER'S FIELD GETS | SUICIDE; NOT KNOWN Man Who Shot Self in Union Sta- tion Succeeded in Hiding Identity. ] Across the gray Anacostia hills to ‘ml:ers fleld at Blus Plains, a litte ! black wagon today bore the body of a :su:cme, destined for a nameles: grave. If custom holds there will b no mourners, no prayers, no, services —simply the depositing of the re- | mains in the earth. The suicide kept his secret well. His name will prob- ably never be known. 1t was on December 30 that man ended his life with a rifie in Union station. On his person was nothing to identify him. He left no note or card to inform relatives. For more than a hundred days his body has lain at the morgus. Scores of persons viewed it. Some wore morbid curiosity seekers, others had persons in their family missing. Police ran the one meager clue to | a fruitiess end. The light cap found | near the body, with the name, “Ben's Clothing Shop, Boston, Mass., stamped”in it. revealed nothing. This| morning Supt. Schoneberger of the | District morgue placed the body in | the little black wagon that has made many trips to potters’ brought it to the final resting place. | ! Burial probably will take place be-| | fore Sunday. Once it was customary to have religious ceremonies. That |has been discontinued. Ministers cannot be obtained to officiate. So it is probable that the man, who de- stroyed identification marks before killing himself, will go to the grav las he evidently wished—unmourned, unknown, unnoticed.
