ea1urdsy was an affair of Bill Woods
utirsly. He was not oven working
IN the Treasury officials when he
rnd the arrest of Smith. He got
srruission through District Attorney
0wth;Il to make the arrest, and OBJ
tained Z warrant from the Marshal of
II district. He made an attempt to
su(hold Of Brockway, but Brockway's g
11enda knew of this in advance, and
m him out Of town, 30 that while vigi-
NJ Bill Woods was looking for the
itineuished Brockway the latter gen.
soman was closeted with the Secretary
4 tbs Treasury, making his statement
obout the operations Of Brockway,
0nith, and Doyle. If the Treasury De-
nrtmsnt had really wanted Mr.. Brock
~, II would have been very easy to
arfsst him while he was in Mr.. Folger's
sles, but he was allowed to go after
u statement, and Ia as free rs any citi-
nj Of the United States. One of the
ncst significant facts here is tho stats-
nent Bill Woods had printed in New
yWk, in which he says he called upon
Jehn Sherman and gave him an outline
4 this affair. People here are asking
vhv John Sherman should have been
nIied into tho case at oil. He was moi
Gsmstary of the Treasury. This last
dVulopment in all OF its details is one
4 ths worst blows the Treasury Depart
nnt has ever received. There have
