letter OF exoneration was prepared In
Bsllinger's office by Oscar Lawler. as
sistant attorney general for the in.
terror department.. Sunday night's S
utterance by Taft obviously was pro-
voked by Kerby's statement.
Taft declares not only Lawler did
prepare such letter as Kerby said he
did. but that he did SO by the presi.
dents specific direction. When he re-
ceived 1t he found, he says. that it was
not what he wanted to issue. and he
wrote the letter himself in the form
in which he desired 1t. using from
Lawler's draft only one or two gen.
eral statements.
The president goes still further,
and takes up the question of the back

says that the attorney generals let
