Atlanta, Ga, March 23.-BenJam
d. Greene, who with John f. Gaynor,
has just completed four-year- term
in the federal prison here for com
pliclty in the Savannah harbor inn
provement frauds several years ago.
walked out of the federal building
here yesterday free man for the
first time in a dozen years, bringing
TO close, as far as he Is concerned,
a legal battle that commanded the at
tention of this country for long
time.
Greene's application for leave to
take the paupers oath in order to es-
cape further liability for the $685.
600 fine imposed on the two men
when they were convicted, had just
been granted by United States Com
missioner, Walter Colquitt, after a
hearing which lasted two days.
Greene leaves for New York, whence
he soon will sail for Surope He said
last night that he would join Mrs.
Greene in Paris and they probably
would make that city their home.
The decision came at the end of a
long afternoon session. Attorney
Fielder, for Greene, HI, Just COM
pleted his argument wrcn Commits
sioner Colquitt stated as his finding
that he believed "the evidenC- in this
hearing has been such that t. appli-
cant should be allowed to take the
oath"
The commissioner asked Greene to
come forward and take the oath.
This formality was soon over and the
former prisoner left the courtroom.
The government had been resisting
the application for the pauper's oath
on the ground that Greene had assets
concealed which would enable him TO
pay off considerable part Of the
$4,000 fine The federal attorneys
failed to produce the evidence neces-
sary to overthrow his claim that he
had spent or lost II all.
John F. Gaynor, jointly convicted
