COURANT ASSAILED IN PALMER LETTER U. §. Marshal Says Political Animus Prompts Removal Former U. S. Marshal Willlam Palmer, who has just tendered his resignation to the attorney general, today gave out the accompanying copy of letters he has sent to the attorney general. In them he mentioned the Hartford Courant as “the mouthpiece of the Republican Organization in this state” and then proceeded to quote a series of startling headlines used ‘n reference to himself caused him to be- leve that charges had been made against him. Furthermore, he says that he would be of the same opinion had not the attorney general himself denied .that there were any charges against him. In ano‘gier paragraph, after quoting extracts from the Courant, he says: ““The foregoing., is sufficient to show the animus of these articles and this sort of thing has been printed in the Courant at intervals for a considerable period of time.” New Haven, Conn., October 8, 1921 The Attorney General, ‘Washington, D. C. Sir:— Yesterday I received your telegram as follows:—"“Replying your letter sixth instant. No charges have been preferred against you to this depart- ment. Confirming my previous tele- gram 1 desire to make a change in your office and ask your prompt resig- nation to take effect upon the appoint- ment and qualification of your succes- sor. (Signed) DAUGHERTY.” In reply to which, I wired you as follows:—"Replying to your telegram I now see no reason for not comply- ing with request for my resignation but considering some phases in the matter I shall take until tomorrow for further consideratipn and shall telegraph or write you. (Signed) WILLIAM R. PALMER" This morning I telegraphed you as follows:—"Am sending my resignation by mail today. (Signed) WILLIAM R. PALMER” Therefore, you will kindly consider this resignation effective at any time convenient to the Department of Justice. In view of the ‘fact that I did not comply immediately with your first re. quest for my resignation it may be difficult for you to believe that had I followed my personal inclinations, my resignation would have been in your hands on March 4th last: Suffice it to say however, that this is a fact and I should have sent in my resignation had I not been dissuaded by some of my friends. For a long time I have beard rumors that much pressure was being brought to bear to have me removed from office to make place for someone in political acord with the present administration, and the pres- sure upon you must have been great indeed, whgn-ag Attorney neral of the Unlled'gl(u. yomf‘%he steps necesary to break a solemn contract made with me by the Federal Govern- ment through the President, as evi- denced by my commisson appointing me “a Marshal of the United States for the four years ending Sept. 5, 1923, and as Ifeel that no administra- tion should be hampered by the re- tention of unsympathetic office hold- ers, it gives me a real pleasure to comply with your request. My belicf that charges have been made against me to the department was based entirely on a number of articles that have been published in the Hartford Courant which paper is generally believed to be the miouth piece of the republican organization In this state. 1t was natural for me to believe from things that the Courant had printed that charges had been made against men and I should still beliéve this ‘to be the case were it aot for your unqualified statement to the comtrary. Quotes Courant “Scare Heads” I do not think it necessary to take your time with many quotations from this paper but will confine myself to a few from the issue of Octoher 7th * which will give you a clear idea of the nature of the suggestive attacks that have been made upon me. In the issue that I haye mentloned in large type on the first page appears the follow- ing headlin—"Palmer Case Up To Harding. Marshal Refuses to Resign. McAuliffe Put Back in Jail.” Then fol- lows—*President’s Order May Quickly End Palmer’s Deflance.” ‘‘Attorney General Stirred by U. S. Official’s Re- fusal ‘to Quit. Planning Decisive Step in Short Order.” “State Delegation Keeping Out of It."” “Daugherty Ready to Act.” “Two Investigathbrs on Job.” “May be Ejected Bodily.” The article goes on to say—‘The only statement that was made for publication at the Department of Justice was ***sssss ‘i he (Palmer) fails to make a reply General Pershing as he arriv graves of unknown heroes with t that Pershing in saluting the war NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, OCTOBER WHEN IN FRANCE, DO AS FRANCE DOES § : ] ed in Frame to decorate the he Congressional Medal.

It is a fact that since the national prohibition law went into effect no official who has been unfortunate enough to be brought into contact with liquor through exercise of his official duties can expect to go un- criticised and unsuspected. Even now many people who believe they know who my successor is to be are say- ing—"“Why that man could have had that position at any time he wanted t in the past thirty years. Can it be possible that he wants appointment now because under the law the marshal becomes the custodian of everything seized for violations of the national prohibition law.” And people back up the suspicions indicated in the foregoing by saying substantial- ly—*“Why should this man seek to give up his present position which pays him a good income to accept the post of United States Marshal at the in- significant salary of $2,500.00 per year.” So you see that even before the appointment is made or even before is it absolutely certain who my succes- sor is to be, the finger of suspicion is pointed at him. Therefore, it would not be reasonable for me to-expect to be free from this sort of thing. T hope in its wisdom that the de- partment will either before or after my successor takes office make in honest intelligent and unbiased inves- tigatjon of my entire official career, and it gives me a great deal of sat- isfaction to say to you that I know the result of such an investigation would give pleasure to all my friends.

Y. was struck by a Middletown-Berlin electric train at the Beckley crossing in Berlin Saturday afternoon. The dead are Sheeley, Mrs. James H. Fotit, of 29 Colony street, Meriden, and h seven-year-old son Austin, Miss Nellie Carlinson, of East Orange, N. J., Sheeley’s fiancee and sister of Mrs. Footit, jumped from the car and es- caped injury. According to the story as told by witnesses, the party was returning from Hartford to Meriden. At the point where the accident occured the view is obstructed for some distance by brickyard sheds. The highway curves sharply at this point and the crossing is out of sight until after the road rounds the curve. It was shortly after the heavy shower on Saturday afternoon and the road was slippery. The gates were down but Sheeley evidently did not see them nor hear “he approach of the train until he was too close to stop. He jammed on his brakes but the car skidded on the wet pavement and crashed through the sates immedlately in front of the train. Miss Carlinson screamed ani jumped but others were caught in the crash and were thrown out. Sheeley and the boy was instantly kileld. Dr. R. M. Griswold, medical examiner for Berlin, notified the local police and Captain McMurtry and two men- of the state police responded to calls for aid. Mrs. Footit was rushed to the. New Britain General hospital where shedied at 6:05 Saturday night. The bodies were removed to the undertaking parlors of B. C. Porter and sons and prepared for burial.
