CLAIMS EFFORT TO HALT
BUCHANAN PROSECUTION
Federal Official, Under Fire at New
York, Assumes Responsibility
for News Article. 4

NEW YORK, March 4-United States
made public here today a letter which
he sent to the congressional committee
that has been here investigating hts Of
ficial conduct. accusing the committee
Of acting in bad faith and of attempt
ing by slander and intimidation to pre-
vent the prosecution of Representative
Frank Buchanan.
The letter was addressed to Repre-
sentative Charles C. Carlin, chairman.
The two other members of the commit
tee are Representative Warren Gard
of Ohio and Representative John NJ.
Nelson Of Wisconsin.
Sequel to Contempt Case.
Mr.. Marshalrs letter was the sequel
of the arrest yesterday, by the order of
the committee, of L. r. Holme, a re-
porter for the New York Times, for al
legged contempt in refusing to tell the
source Of information on which an ac-
count of the committees proceedings
was based. He was later released after
the United States marsha, had refused
to take him in custody.
The account in question said it was
the belief of the district attorneys Of
flee that the investigation had been
started to prevent the prosecution OF
pro-German offenders against Ameri-
can neutrality.
In his letter Mr.. Marshall took full
responsibility for the Times article.
Describing an interview which he had
given to Mr.. H. line, he stated:
Il said that your expedition to this
town was not an Investigation conduct
ed in good faith. but was a deliberate
effort to intimidate any district attor-
ney who had the temerity to present
charges against one of your honorable
body
Makes Bitter Attack.
The letter then asserted that the com.
mittee had invited every rogue you
could lay your hands upon to come be-
fore you and blackguard and slander
me and my assistants" 1t continued:
Il told him that / did not share the
views which seemed to prevail in your
subcommittee; l said that l regarded
a member of Congress who would take
money for an unlawful purpose from
any foreign agent as traitor"
The letter was delivered to Repre-
sentative Carlin just prior to the de-
parture of the committee for Wash
ington. where the investigation will be
resumed next week.
Representative Carlin when he re-
ceived Mr. Marshalrs letter said he was
greatly surprised at its contents, but
that no reply would be made to Mr.
Marshall until the committee returns
its report to Congress. He said that
the committee had no intention of per-
scouting Mr.. Marshall, and that the dis
trict attorney labored under an entire
misconception regarding the inyesu-
cation.
