him of his crime and started to leave

Mrs. Glasscock then narrates the
bringing of q suit for divorce by her
husband and her frultless appeals TO
Senator Stewart for relief for herself
and family. She says that the story
was sent for her to the News and oh.
server by Frank Daniels, chief clerk
of the interior department, who lie
part owner of the paper.
To a reporter for the Washington
| Evening Star she today reiterated the
statements made in Raleigh papers,
said that her husband had been going
down hill through drink, and added,
"Senator stewards secretary could
verify what | have said, If he would
tell the truth. He entered the Office
one day and found US in compromis-
ing situation. But Of course his
mouth is sealed. Stewards money
has bought everything In sig ht."
Mrs Glasscock denied that she had
been living with her husband since
he applied for divorce, as Senator
Stewart charged in recent
statement in which he accused
Mr.. and Mrs. Glasscock OF
being in q conspiracy to blackmail
him, and said that he had obtained
proofs of their having lived together
since the suit for the divorce was be-
gun and would prosecute them. The
senator's secretary could not be seen

short vacation.
Senator Stewart was seen concern

beyond reiIeratiDg the charge that
the husband and wife were trying to
extort money from him and to black
mail him, would say nothing. The
case, he said, was in court and he
would make no further statement be-
| fore coming to the court.
