FIGHT ON GODSOL'S
EXTRACTION IS TO
BEGIN AGAIN TODAY

Late this afternoon the next step
in the battle for the sHtradi-
ton OF Frank ]. Godsol. who Is
charged by the French government
with illegally taking s6,oOo,ooo in
commissions on the purchase OF auto
trucks, will be taken before United
States Commissioner Hit. At that
time arguments will be made on the
motions OF the defense for the dis
missal OF the suit and the freeing OF
the prisoner.
What will happen II the commits
sioner rules in favor OF Godsol is
problemstic-l. II is directly charged
by Godsol that the delays which have
occurred are because the prosecution
is waiting for a new indictment TO
arrive from France, tho first one haV-
ing been found in some way defec-
tive.
If Freed May He Rearrested.
1t may be that Godsol will be inn
mediateIy rearrested on another
charge IL the ruling Of the commits
sioner is in his favor.
ments OF the case was the tender
made last night by Godsol to Deputy
Attorney General Becker, OF New
York, OF all the papers seized In the
offices OF the Alliance Corporation,
the concern OF which Godsol was the
head and the offices OF which were
raided at the time OF Godsols arrest.
Judge DeIehsnty, following proceed
ings brought by Godsol. granted an
Injunction denying Becker the right
to examine the papers. Last night
Godsoi telegraphed the office OF the
New York attorney general volunteer
ing TO turn the papers over for eS-
animation. His telegram was as fol.
lows:
GodsoTs Oaer TO Becker.
II am informed by my attorneys
that Judge Delehanty has granted an
injunction restraining. you from eI-
aiming the papers seized in your
raid on the Offices Of the Alliance
Motors Corporation.
THAT was a righteous decision
However. in view OF the fact that you
have asserted that those papers con-
tain evidence duplicating me in brib-
cry and other criminal acts and be-
cause desire that neither you nor
any one else shall hereafter claim
that Judge Delehanty's ruling de-
prived you OF any evidence deemed
by you necessary to the successful
continuance of your proceedings
against me. hereby offer to turn
over all these papers TO any person
or persons who may be named by
Judge Delehanty, or agreed upon by
you and my attorney, John E. Stanch-
field; the person or persons so named

with my full consent that IL any doc
uments are found tending to prove

any semblance OF a crime whatsoever.

some nice girl at home is because he
isn't there to take her to the dances

thing else than his own discomforts;
and remember that your letter must be
kept free from intimate personalities
and terms of affection. Remember,
also that you are carrying on the cor
and not your own. Send him a box of
homemade candy now and then, or a
funny joke, a good story, an amusing
