It related that on returning to 8t. - Pierre on March 5 from Langladc Island Captain Bechet had reported to the authoritics that an inhabitant there had tried to put on board 700 b screws. Asked where he had zotten them, the native had replied that he had found a plane on the northwest side of the island and dis- mantled it for the serews. Captain Bechet wrote his son that French authorities were to begin an investigation on March 9 to deter- | mine, if possibie, the identity of the | wrecked plane and establish whether | it was one of those that disappeared last r while attempting trans- atlantic flights along the Great Cir- cle course. SMITH, PiQUED AT CRITICISM, HINTS NAPP CASE MOVE (Continued from First Page.) Pierre addressed s comi- | Otis and outspoien soliie Newspaper dropping of the case was the result of a “political deal,” the governor asserted that trom the time he turn- «d the matter over to Le Boeuf, hie liad absolutely no control over any phase of it. “1 had no control over it from | here,” Smith declared. “When 1 was | presented with the original charges {against the secretary of state, I im- | miediately turned them over to Le| Boeuf. During the course of the in- vestigation he never consulted with In fact I don't recall that w lum during that time, “He never reported to me until the final formal report was made. S0 far as my choosing him out of group of distinguished lawyers who: {names were presented to me, because he was the most obscure, that is ri- !diculous. FFor this particular inquiry I believed, and still belicve, that Mr, Le Boeuf was the best fitted.” Governors' Answer | The charge by Otis that Georg: Graves, the governor's secretary, was employed by Mrs. Knapp on census work, was met by the governor with |the answer that since the time when {Theodore Roosevelt was governor, | aves been doing pen work in the secretary of state's. office.” “He is handy with the pen,” the | governor explained, “and for years has been doing work on the side en- grossing various certificates in the cretary of state’s office. All the work is done outisde of the hours of | the exccutive office, and it was done long before this investigation.” | Thinks Mrs, Knapp Guilty | Randall L.

My report to the governor fol- lowed a painstaking investigation,” he declared, *and is based upon sworn testimony and documentary evidence. In my opinion I would have violated my oath as & com- missioner had I made any other recommendations than those detati- «d in my report.’” Mr. Le Bocuf's statement was| given out as a result of the decision | of District Attorney Charles J. Her- | rick of Albany county not to pre- sent the charges to the grand jury. Agrees to Comment “It has been strongly urged upon | me that I should comment on Mr. Herrick's action in withholding the | evidence of Mrs. Knapp's census ac- tivities from the grand jury,” he said. “If T could see any good that | would come from my making a de- tailed statement, I would unhesi- tatingly speak my mind. My duties, | however, ended with the filing of my report. Nothing has occurred to change my opinion as to the soundness of | those rccommendations. What the | district attorney does is a matter | between him and the governor. i “As the governor knows, 1 did | not scek the appointment as com- | missioner,” Le Boeuf continued. “His request, coupled with the urging of the attorney general, led | me to undertake what I realize would be a most unpleasant task.
