J. P. SANGER. WALSH DEMANDS TRIAL OF WITNESS AGAINST WHEELER it Continued from First Page.l utable lawyer of Butte, to whose character and trustworthiness 1 am myself able to attest from an acquaintance of many years, a close friend of Wheeler, being on his way' from New York to the coast, stopped off at Great Falls to attend the trial. called to the stand, lie told that on appearing In obedience a subpoena issued by the Senate committee he (Melzner) questioned hint concerning the transaction in relation to which it was expected he could testify, and having secured his story, asked him if he had ever met Senator heeler, to which he replied that lie had not, whereupon Melzner offered to accompany him to the committee room and introduce him to heeler, which lie did.

press having carried information of Hayes' testimony, another aide to Senator Wheeler as for the Senate committee, Henry Stern of Buffalo, N. wired prompt i Iv to the Senator from that city that he had read such press reports, and that lie lecalled distinctly Melzner's asking Hayes whether he had ever met Wheeler and reply that Ihe had not. Booth denied that he had I conversed over the telephone with Hayes touching a meeting between him and Wheeler. Walsh Attacks llayes. Eaunchlng into an attack on the witness himself, the Montana Senator said proceedings for din barment were pending against him be tore the courts of the State of New York well as before the Treasury Department, lie also asserted that Hayes had been guilty of his income tax returns and that four judgments had been entered against "him for an aggregate sum of $302,644 even before he went to Montana to testify against Senator Wheeler.

Senator Walsh presented an affidavit of A. Furman Greene, who described himself as formerly associated with Hayes, and during the course of the affidavit Furman said: March. 1 believe, of 1924, 11. had appeared as a witness before a Senate committee in Washington which was investigating the conduct of Attorney General Daugherty.

MONDAY, MARCH 15, 1926. erty investigation rested upon Sen ator Wheeler, and that Wheeler, in his opinion, was seeking to crucify Daugherty in order to exalt Ills own political position.

He spoke of Senator Wheeler in most uncouth terms, and added: wait and see what happens to Wheeler; we ll fix him so that he remain in the Senate vei Scores Continuing liks discussion of the Hayes testimony in the Montana court. Senator Walsh said: jury regarded the tale ms incredible. If it imposed upon the assistant to the Attorney General in charge he has not sagacity enough to fill the place he occupies. If the Bureau of Investigation did not apprise him that Hayes was totally unworthy of belief, it ought to undergo a radical reorganization. But if the chart table view be taken that an imposition was practiced upon the responsible officers of the Department of Justice with respect to the character of Hayes or of the testimony he was to give, what excuse, what palliation can be offered foi the studious course of concealment that was pursued with reference to his production as a witness? What conception of Justice have those who conceived or carried out such a plan to surprise a.

FEDERAL'AME RICAN NATIONAL BAN 1C FOURT EE TRE A country Just as the evidence against him was about to close, and he was required to proceed with his defense? This practice, so much more honored In the breach than in the observance, rare, I venture to believe, in this country, has been roundly denounced by one who from his high offlHul position is entitled to speak for the bar of America. In a public address delivered before the American Association, at its annua! meeting in September last, lie said: impression the laity have of us in this regard is, i am sure, much worse than we really deserve, but still Is It not true that, we often try I to get the other aide a to produce a witness or a piece of evl- deuce of some kind which ia a com- I plete surprise to him, and which in I the exigency of the trial lie cannot meet or explain, although there may be some explanation in existence? victory won under such circumstance is pretty sure to be set at naught later, and the number of petitions for new trials on the ground of newly discovered evidence is an index i of the number of such victories.

is every duty to do his best to win his cause; yes, but it is of greater importance that Justice be done than that client shall prevail, and I deem it a greater honor to lose a case which, on all the facts In existence beurlng on It, ought to be lost, than to win it on part of such facts being shown, with no opportunlty for the other to produce "Who he who thus voiced these Just and high-minded sentiments you ask? Why, none other than John Garibaldi Sargent, Attorney General of the United States. Some recent have led to the conclusion that he Is entirely oblivious of much of what going on and more of what Is not going on In his department. If he was Ignorant of the accusation by his predecessor made Immediately his accession to the effect that a corporation generally believed, whatever the fact may be, to controlled by a fellow member of the cabinet was guilty of contempt of court In a matter of the greatest importance, Information of which was carried and abundantly commented on In the press, It may well be that he was equally Ignorant of the Incident i attending the trial of a United States I Senator, now hying discussed, In- formation of which was given to the general reader In -like manner. Were it otherwise, Satan rebuking sin i would be an edifying spectacle corn 1 pared with the unblushing hypocrisy; of his Senator Walsh said the prosecution against Senator Wheeler, which followed his Initiation of a Senate Investigation of the administration of Harry M. Daugherty as Attorney General, had few parallels.

are led to he said, I In other countries men in public life, who have made themselves ob- 1 noxious to the powers that be, run the risk of like treatment before subservient courts. Our llberltles have not until now been so Imperiled. "I look for no division In this body in reprobation of this assault upon Its Independence, recalling the days of the Stuarts and the Tudors. The offense against the Senate Is too flagrant to permit the thought that even partisanship should offer any obstacle to the vindication of its dignity and the demands of justice. I am confident that the President of the United States, being apprised of this effort to pollute the administration of Justice, will, jealous as he must be for the honor of his administration.
