Wilson, secretary of labor. pub sished here ovec the signature Of John B. Densmore. director general of eia~ ployment of the labor department.
 Judge Henshaw's statement before witnesses, follows in part
 "To the Associated Press.
 The Fair ease was decided scme Twenty years ago. Years alter it's de- cision was reelected to the supreme bench and served eyelen years of the twelve years term, resign!ng under no c0mms,sion or agreement with Mr. Olcr or anybody else. My resigna- ticn was decided purely upon personal matters. The charges against me in the report of Densmore. as special investigator of inc department of ia- Der. are tWo-fcld.
 First that l joined with Fickert in d Mooney frame-up.
 Second that | was capable Cf d0- ing this infamous thing because had coTuptly taken a bribe o. $il0,000 in ehe case mentioned.
 ''I was not. and am not Interested in the Mooney case saving as any cit iZen is interested in seeing exact Jus tice in the punishment of most wan ton, vicious and unproyoked crime MT Flckcrt, from lime to time consulted mo, always at his own instance, never al my own to tell me his difficulties in following up Information which would lead to complete discosurc5 ot Moneys guilt.
 ' did not refuse to see him al his request and should nave felt ashamed to have refused
 T never saw an actual or prospec- tive witness in any or the bomb cases
 'I was never in the employ of any O. tho big corporations charged with bounding Mooney 10 death, and chai- lenge the pointing out of one word in all she Dcnsmorc report waich even remotely tends to connect me with any improper practice, much less with being q participant in a frame-up never wrote a FicNert brief or even saw one until 1t was printed and cir culatad.
 The charges of bribery agains, me are thus summed up in the Densmore report:
 The supreme courts final decision ls result of the rehearing brou ..h about through the instrumentaiity of Judge Henshaw was in favor or the heirs. IIenshaN having hanged ls vote 10 favor the petitioners. Pay ment of SlCG,00Q Was then made y Ia series Cf checks for $J0G0o each drawn by <. C. Murphy prcsidtn of the First National bank. in favor of Diagee. those payments covering 6 pe- riCd of some WeeGs. Dingce ave"s that in rart these ums were given bv him direct to Judge Hcnshln ,aal other installmeuts were conveyed to Henshaw by Moffitt
 Tho chau.a Of bribery IS utterly and unqualifiedly false IT, as it would |appea~ from the statement alt Mr Dingse did receive money from tho Fair heirs, I never knew o, il, never received a dollar of it.
 This charge came first to my know ledge as part Of a statement charg- ing similar crime upon many of Mr. Dingee's friends. men Of great prom thence in California Money and an interruptions desire for revenge could have been the only acluatins motives in making them. l sAall not make public iae names of these men and SO expose ihem tc the same unmerlted mali iaancy
 "l can express my aInazenlent that q government ofrir,al investigation etnnfl
