BUCKNER ASSALS ACCUSED IN PLEA (Continued from First Page) O slection campaign all mixed with what actually occurred. told you here that he fought last campaign on the Jesse Smith issue. He probably reasoned, and justly so, that would be drawn from his admis- slon of an innocent, as far as he was concerned, conversation with Smith, but I have no doubt Jess Smith did tell him the eclaim should be passed.” Type of up He ridence. Much of the evidence in the trial| centered on the question of validi of the two claims Richard Merton, German metal magnate, presented in 1921 for the Societe Suisse Pour Val- eurs De Metaux. The government adduced much testimony to show the claims were false, and that Merton paid John T.| King, late republican natfonal eom- | mitteeman from Connecticut, $441,- 000 to rush them through the of- fices of the attorney general and the allen property custodian. Testimony also was adduced to show that $50 000 of the bribe was traced to Miller and some to Harry M, Daug! 3 “Ths attorneys for Miller and for Daugherty have spent much time in mmations the two days showing you claims were valic T want to tell you right now that th government doesn't care a Straw whether these claims were true or ;i It would be all the same to us, too, if the claims had been paid |th in 1914 instead of 1921.” “The indictment does not charge the claims were invalid. That is a point outside the case, and the only| reason £0 much time was spent on by the government was that wanted to show you the claims wey so full of holes that even the most incompetent ot subordinates to t men would never have passed t without consulting their bosses, less they had been told bel the bosses wanted these pissed.” Before Buckner began the govern- ment's summation Judge Julian W Mack informed the jur t e claims his charge before tomorrow teuer's Attack The attack of Max D. counsel for D: ell Palmer, todian and attorn neral in Pres- dent Wilson's cabinet, was unj fied and unwarranted, Buckner said. Steuer asserted yesterday that papers which revealed that Palmer had ap- proved a contract for the sale of enemy owned shares of the Ameri- can Metal company for $1,500,000 less than t e later sold for by Franeis P. Garvan, who succeeded Palmer as alien property custodian, were kept out of the files of the alien property custodian’s office, Steuer painted Daugherty as the “honest official” who investigated ‘Why should Steuer, who says h is a democrat, brand Palmer in every village and hamlet of this country where newspapers are read as a crook, when he has absolutely no proof thoss papers we not those files? We can’t show you the papers were there, but can and do show you that the first man who to 100k for them when this c was first up for investigation .‘uun‘! them just where they were supp; to be—in the alien property custo- n's fil Adverting to assertions by William Rand, counsel for Miller, that (Buckner) had diemissed the indic ment against Richard Merton, brother and ot man and Sw participants in the transactions lea ing up to the release of the claims Buckner said there missal no admission that the claim was valld or that there was no con- spiracy, Daugherty Not Hounded, “Tom Miller was only American named in that indictmen: kner sald. “Harry Daugherty was not named. All this cry of Steuer’s about Daugherty being hounded and yelpe Steuer at is bunk. Was he being hounded | and persecuted when he wasn't even | investigated until last summer? And why should he burn records of his brother’s bank for October 18, when it is Mr. that he was t curiosity and i o shield from political enemies facts regarding the disposition of political funds in 1917 and 19202 “I'll tell you why 1 dismiss other indi :nt. We couldn’t have brought ono of those f here to testify, and had no case at all. W brought into this court Miller, who got a lousy split and let get away the got most of the bi $50,000. But Daugherty Smith got $224,000. We didn’t want to get the little fellow. We wantc to get the<hig ones. We didn’t want to get the man who could only rec ommend the claims. We wanted to gct the man who approved them.” Denies Persecuting “I want your jurors to know you are not persecuting anyone. are fighting for thousands of gov- ernment employes, to prove to them that there is semething in the law of the land, some justice where. Those emplo; a e would have would have poor Tom ong-cighth n who Miller got and Jest ernment and the law. to show them there wrong with either the government. “I know Harry Daugherty, that | president maker sitting other there has a cold, that he is an old man and that he looks pititul, but that has noshing to do with the ease.” The courtroom was filled, and a crowd stood in lines side the doors waiting for a chance te get inside. Mrs. Miller sat just behind her husband. Daugherty sat hunch- ed in his chalr, a handkerchief held to his left eye, which is inflamed by cold. 1t's up to you is nething law or the JARDINE CONVIDENT Washington, Oct. § (B — tary Jardine today that the present and poten- tial credit resources of the country are entirely adequate to meet the requirements of the present cotton crop, however bountiful it may prove to be. cre- Persla expects a bumper almond EW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRID AY, OCTOBER 8 1926.
