Embarrassing 20 Brother
in-Lsw.
AS A. PROSECUTOR
Forced Him Out of Job Because Wifi,
Refused to Endure Hull's Alleged
High Handed Act in Viii
Case.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 11-Dr. Minor
Morris, whose wife was elected from
the White House last Thursday, to-
night gave u a public statement in
which he severely arraigns those re-
the imposition of a fine in her case as
adding to her humiliation, and replies
to the statement of her brother, Rep
resentative Hull of Iowa, regarding the
will and codicil of her father. The
statement is addressed ITO whom it
may concern" and begins as follows:
"A woman of the highest culture,
toted her life to her home. her family
md her ideals, whose only thought has
been to do good, and who has always
considered others before herself. a wife
hnd mother, has been seized from be-
mind in the waiting room of the White
House and maltreated with a brutality
(which humanity would revolt at seeing
accorded to it's lowest type. The de-
tails of this sickening thing, unname-
able, are now known to the whole
country"
DR.. Morris alleges that an effort was
made to hold Mrs. Morris at the house
of detention until his arrival two DAYS
batter, to max lit appear that she was
f~riendleSs and insane" He says that
the physicians sent to examine her
manifested their indignation, and that
as ut became dangerous to press the
insane charge, h stands today re-
corded as the disturber of the peace to
the extent of So" DR.. Morris says her
suffering will have not been in vain
IF the larger purposes of truth and
justice are strengthened in the COM
munity."
His wife did not scream, he says, un-
til the violent seizur by secret SER
vice men surprised her with the COM
mand to come on" The statement
makes sarcastic illusions to Assistant
Secretary Barnes, who, it says, after
ordering her removal, tried to defend
himself. DR.. Morris says that the men
tai and physical bruises which Mrs.
Morris has sustained, would be dreadful
in any environment, but at the. portals
Of the national residence of executive
authority the pain is Intensified a thou
,and times.
+. The question of the disputed will is
then taken up and the expressions Civ
en- out by Representative Hull in re-
ent interviews are denounced as for
getful of the most sacred relationships
of life lin the hour of her crucifixion."
MI statement alleges that While the
%testator, Mrs. Morris father, said, IT
owe no debts,'' a deb of almost the en-
tire estate was put through a court and
Ahat a demand for the removal from
the war department of DR.. Morris, who
mentions himself as the beneficiary's
husband, was made in connection with
the pressing of the latter's claim.
In conclusion; Mr.. Morris declares
that the nations sense of decency has
been shocked, that one woman has to
bear all this, and that the vital fact in
the limelight is that this outrage is the
gravest insult to the politeness of
American life within the memory of
i;nen and women now living"
