Ee ED ‘$100,000 PROMISED TO DAUGHERTY IF HE GOT MORSE PARDONED (Continued from, First Page.) Mr. Morse who had agreed to pay $6,000 cash to cover expenses (this sum was paid)—$25,000 conditional Upon our obtaining his release from the penitentiary, When this result was reported to Mr. Morse, he stated to us, in the presence of the peni- tentiary guard, that if we would re- he would pay us, in addition to the amount agreed upon, the sum of $100,000 and exclaimed: “ ‘Gentlemen, I will make you both tich if you wit! get me out of here.’ * The letter then tells how medical ex- &minations of Morse’s condition were made. The alleged details of the issuing ot the pardon were related by Felder as follows: . ‘The day before the pardon was @ranted and. a hourly ex pecting it, very unfavi Able developments occurred, re from undesirable newspaper pu nd we requested those responsible for ft to desist until things quieted down, "We had been expecting for a week Or ten days to get the order for \ Morse's rete: It did not come, so on the day the release was granted we called at the office of Hon, John . McLean, a warm personal friend of Mr. Daugherty's and an acquain- tance of mine, also a friend of both the President and the Attorney Gen- eral, Mr. McLean took the matter up actively. He called the editor in chief of the Washington Post, Mr. Bennett, over the phone, sent his automobile for him and had him brought to his office where he had a Jong conference going thoroughly over the situation. HOW THE PARDON ORDER WAS OBTAINED. “As a result thereof Mr. Bennett was despatched to the office of the Attorney General, where he was joined by Attor ral Wicker- Bham, and the twain called at the White House, and after a protracted conversation between the President and Mr, McLean over the telephone. Mr, Bennett returned to the office of Mr. John R. McLean and delivered to us the order discharging Charles W Morse, and the same was transmitted by us_to the head official of the At- lonta Penitentiary.” The letter then tells of Morse's de- parture for Europe, and states that “there appeared in the press of the country numerous sensational articles to the effect that there was nothing the matter wih Morse's healh; that his release from he Federal Peni- tentiary had been secured by fraud and officials were urged to take im- mediate steps to have him remanded to the penitentiary.” Conferences with Attorney eneral few our cfforts to obtain his release, | s Wickersham, in which Daugherty and Felder urged that the pardon order was final and that if the pardon had been obtained by fraud it would Be necessary to submit it to a jury. Next in the letter is related how Daugherty and Felder sought to col- lect the fee after Morse’s return from Burope. As the result of preliminary conferences, Morse, Daugherty and Felder met in the room of a New York hotel, according to the letters. “An animated discussion followed in which Mr. Daugherty denounced Morse in unmeasured terms, declin- ing emphatically to accept the stocks tendered either as collaterAl or pay- ment," says the letter. "In this humor he left the room after some further discussion with Mr. Morse he asked me to hold the stocks until he could mAke some other I told them that 1 would not use the s, but he left the coom and left them on my dresser, When T left the city that night for my home In Atlanta 1 took the stocks in my valise. Felder, in the letter, vigorously de- nied that Daugherty and he had any knowledge of fraud in the Morse par- don—but agreed that ‘publicity would be disagreeable if not embarrassing to all concer “We were informed that the De partment was in possession of evi- dence going to show that after physi- ciuns were appointed to examine Morse and before they appeared on the scene soap suds or chemicals or something would be taken by him to produce hemorrhage of the kidneys, and that as soon as the examination was over, the patient would recuperate rapidly,” the letter continues. “As T have stated we have not brought the suit or instituted any pro- ceedings in the matter,- because both Mr. Daugherty and hyself felt that we had all the notoriety and newspaper publicity that we should in reason have in connection with this trans- action.”* ‘The letter concludes: “We have rightly earned all that Morse agreed to pay, viz.: the ex- penses, the $25,000, the $100,000 and | Dandruff Soon Ruins The Hair Girls—if you want plenty of thick beautiful, glossy, silky hair do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don’t. It doesn’t do much good to try to brush of wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then destroy it entirely. To do this get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon: apply it at night when re- tiring: use enough to moisten the realp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dis- solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You cin get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails, —Advt. tute erect cnn ITA eT EST & CO. firm khaki outdoor sports.
