w\l“.) Defense In Felder- ‘Means. Trial — Judge Lindley Refuses His Request. ' Former Attorney General However, Denies Vigor- ously 'l'hat Accused Dis- cussed Cases With Him, New York, Jan. 27—Harry M. Daugherty, former attorney general ‘of the United Statep, called as a wit- Dess for the defense today in the Folder-Means trial In federal court, was denied permission by Judge Lindley to tell the details of the sit- uation existing at Washington dur- ing the events leading up to the in- " dictment of the defendants, Mr. Daugherty sald that for some time the state of affairs in Washing- ton was such that there were men in the capltal who were “helibound and spellbound,” “I would like at this time to tell the true story of that auuatlon it I am permitted to do & sald Mr, Daugherty. * Judge Llndley refused him permission, Denies Charges. Daughtery denied that Thomas B. Felder, one of the defendants, ever talked to him about indictments then pending agalnst the Crager System 2 company . manufacturing glass caskets. Felder and his former cllent, Gaston B, Means, are being tried on charges of conspiring to bribe high government officials, including Daugherty, in attempts to quash the glass casket indictments, . “Did Gaston Means ever talk to you about it?” he was asked by Frank P. Walsh, defense attorney, “He never did,” replied Mr. Daugherty, “Did Jarnecke (Means’ former sec- retary) ever talk to you about it?” “He never did,” answered the wit- neas, “I wittagk you whether or not {t I a fact that Col, Felder called upon “you on 6ue occasion When you were 1ll in Washington and spoke to you about the glass casket case?"” "He never did,” said Daughterey. “None of these men ever discussed the glass casket case with me.” Views on Character. Mr. Daugherty testified that he had known Felder for fifteen years and perhaps longer, and that he had been associated with him',and his law firm when KFelder was a resl- dent of Atlanta. Asked what he knew of the repu- tation of Felder, Daugherty said: “During the last three or four years 1 could not testify to the repu- tation of any man, especlally if he held a high public position. The higher and more efficient he is, the | more he is subjected to attack. Until_this case came up I wym quite | sure I never heard any reflecfion upon his (Felder’s) reputation.”™ Did Not Know Names Mr. Daugherty said he did " not know Means personally, and had talked to him only/ once, when Means spoke to him In the depart- @ent of justice bullding. Mr. Walsh asked the witness if he ever “attended a conference at the Waldorf hotel (in this city) in the early part or middle of October, 1922, at which there were present yourself, William J. Burns, Andrew W, Meiloa and Goston B. Means.” Before the witness could answer, Prosecutor Todd objected and Judge Lindley ruled out the question. Another question ruled out was one in which Mr. Walsh asked Mr. Daugherty “if you ever stated Gaston Mcans that there was a shortage or deficit! in the republican campaign fund and that you, on that account, with Mr. Mellon and Mr. Burns, would share f a division of $65,000 which was to be collceted | from the glass casket defendants? Mr; Daugherty told of a confer- ence fn Washington with several persons, including Jefendants and their attorneys, intcrested in the plass casket case. s Tells of Conference “I knew that this case was the case to be considercd,” he said, “so I assembled two or three assistants 8o there would not be any misun- derstanding about it and 1 think I asked Mr, Todd to be present at the conference.” . Most of the questjons relating to this conference were ruled out. It was at this juncture that Mr Daugherty appealed to Judge Lind- ley for permission to tell the “true story concerning this matter,” After answering several questions dealing with the ousting of Means from the government service, Mr, Daugherty left the stand.

Have Hurt Pedestrians —Held Under Bonds —_— (8pectal to the Herald.) Bristol, Jan, 27.—ftephen Wash- itz of 131 Glen street, New Britain, was captured last night at 9:45 o'clock by Robert L. Hayden 'of Middle street, prominent realtor of this city, after a mad chase of nearly a mile, when the motor car driven by the New Britain man turned over at the corner of King street and Second avenue in a futile attempt to shakeoft the relentless pursuer, He was brought before the local police court this morning on the charge of evading responsibility, reckless driving, and carrying con- cealed weapons. His cgse was con- tinued until Saturday morning un- der bonds of $1,000. He was repre- sented by Attorney George W. Klett of New Britain. A few minutes before the over- turning, ‘Washitz's “machine had struck Robert Edwards of 3 Andrew street and Miss Emmal Buchard of the same address as the couple we walking along Riverside avenue near Pierce's bridge. Edwards was badly bruised and marked up but the girl escaped with a few bruises. After the accident, Edwards was attended at the Bristol hospital by Dr. Hu- bert D. Brennan and later in the night was removed to his home. Ex- amination has shown that he’did not suffer any serious injuries,” ‘Washitz put on speed after strik- ing the couple and noticing at once that he was being pursued “let his machine out.” Hayden stuck to the fear of the evading driven and when ‘Washitz climaxed his wild ride with his tip over, Hayden brought him to the police station, where he was hnoked on charges of reckless driv- ing and evasion of responsibility for trial this morning, Shortly before midnight, Washitz was released under honds of $1,000, furnished by Dennie Wasclewicz, lsp of New Britain, When searched at the police sta- tion, Washitz was found 16 be liter- ally armed to the téeth, A revolver was found in a pocket and in his machine was found a wicked look- ing hunting knife, which was well over the legal limit of six inches for the blade. Charges of carrying eon- cedled weapons may also be pressed against him. Why he should travel 180 heavily armed, was not revealed by the accused last night., His car was badly smashed when it over- turned and was later removedsto a garage by a wrecking erew. Mr. Hayden's coolness in the pur- suit and apprehension of the man was praised by the police officlals, who complimented him on his fine work. When being booked last night, | Washitz said that he was a garagoe unechanlc and was employed by the S & F.

Thomas' gun, a black automatic with a wooden handle, was the first ‘weapon laid on the talle by Coroner George Bell, It was empty, On the right side of the handle two notches had been cut. Pearl Handled Guna Young's guns, two pearl handled automatics, followed. One held a full clip of cartridges, One or two bul- lets had been fired from the other. No marks were apparent on either revolver, Forbes' gun was the fourth placed on the table, Warren's flearm, if he had any, was not found. The cartridge belt and holster ap- parently did not belong to any of the weapons as the 12 shells they contained were of a different calibre, State's Attorney Arlie Boswell rned the mnewspapermen they were admitted only by sufferance and that they would be excluded un- less their reports were fair. Promises Square Deal “There have been reported that this was to be a one-sided investiga- tion, “he said. “We are excluding the public because we belleve fn this case that is wise, We are admitting the press so that there can be no possible grounds for charging that this is a star chamber session. We intend to convince everyone that we are going to give a square deal but we insist on a square deal from you” Relatives of Young announced to- day his funeral had been postponed until Thursday, pending arrival of relatives, -~ - b Big Funeral Thursday ,Friends estimate 25,000 wlll at- ténd the services.

W, Davis, commanding the national guardsmen controlling Herrln, announced that no demon- strations would be permitted in con- nection with the funerals, large crowds were expected to attend both, Verslons of the shooting were be- coming more standardized today, but they still could be divided into t&o main groups—those related by ‘Young's friends and those related by Thomas' adherents. The main points of difference, were as to whether Young or Thomas fired first. 1t was related that Thomas enter- ed the cigar store while Young was berating “‘Lish” Green who Young denounced him to union coal miners. Green wriggled out of range as Young and Thomas began shooting, which was joined in | by others on the street in front of the cigar shop.
