LAST APPEAL FOR
WALSH AND MORSE
PRESIDENT TAFT HAS PAPERS
FOR coNsIDERATloN-ATToR.
NEY RECOMMENDS cLEMENCY.

Washington, March S.-Pies.dent
Taft will leave for the South to-
morrow and VIII take with him for
final consideration the final appeal
for pardon which has been made
by John r. Wash and Charles W.
Morse. The President will study the
cases and before he returns to Wash
ington both men will probably know
whether they are to be free or are
to stay in federal prisons.
Attorney General Wickersham, aft
er several weeks of investigation Of
both cases, will turn over all the
papers TO the President tomorrow
with his recommendation
Walsh, now in the Leavenwortn
prison, will be eligible for release
on parole under the new law next
September He then will have served
onethird of his five-year sentence.
His attorneys, however, have pre-
sented in the pleas for pardon that
if the aged banker IS not released
before that time he may never live
TO enjoy his liberty. 1t is under
stood that official investigation
seems to substantiate this.
Morse, in the Atlanta prison. has
served a little more than one year
of fif.een-year sentence, and could
not be paroled until 1915. Great in
fluence has been brought to bear at
least to secure commutation of his
sentence to five years, which would
permit his discharge after two years
and eight months more imprison-
ment, making allowance for good be-
haviOr. Former Senator Hale OF
Maine has taken an active interest
in IMoore's behalf and he presented
to President Taft, Mrs. Moores pc
tition for the release of her hus-
band.
The contention in his case is that
the sentence OF fifteen years was
excessive. Although the first court
found him guilty and sentenced him
on three counts, the higher courts
cleared him of two charges, but the
sentence for all three was allowed
to stand.
Attorney General Wickersham'
recommendations are confidential to
the President, but it is understood
that the attitude of the Department,
of Justice is in favor of granting

/ In accordance with the recOmmen
dation OF the special investigating
comm ttee. the senate Wednesday de
manded that DR.. Leo +. Bennett oi

senate N open session and make
public apology 10 the senate as a

the whole Investigation.
The report of the committee was
submitted to the senate Wednesday
afternoon by Chairman Sorrells. Aft
er reciing the circumstances OF its
appointment; and making statement
in regard TO the testimony of DR..
Bennett before the committee, the
report says
The charges and insinuatlons
made by Or. Bennett, as above re.
ferred to, were by your committee
found to be unwarranted, uniustifiable
and without foundation, according 10

follow the recommendation as to a
public apology.
As soon as the report had been
adopted by the senate, "A motion was
made by Senator Allen that Dr. Ben
nett be required to come before the
committee The motion was carried
unanimously. The committee was au-
thorized to take steps to secure Dr.
BENEFITS immediate audience.
Senator Sorrells stated that he had
been trying for something more than
thirty hours to get DR.. Bennett over
the long distance telephone, without
success, and II was therefore consid-
cred best to send the sergeantat.
arms TO Muskogee to make personal
summons upon him, in order to Sc
cure his presence here before the
adjoulnment of the present session.
In case he should refuse to make
the apology required, it seemed to be
the sentiment of the senate to send
him to Jail for such refusal, but that
sentence could not continue beyond
the life OF the session. -Oklahoman.
