In a statement issued last night re-
garding the first charge, on which NE
was released by United States Commits
sicner Hit yesterday, Godsol said he
confidently belieyes his arrest and de-
tention for forty days was due to a hope
that he would incriminlte man my
accusers desire to injure politically"
Godsol asserted that ne has had no
personal relations with the man ,e-
ferred to and that all he knows about
him Is to the mans credit" he said,
"I unqualihedly declare" he said.
'that every dollar l or my associates
received in commissions was paid under
contracts made before I was appointed
as secretary-interpreter to the purchas-
ing mission And that the French au-
thorities had knowledge OF those con-
tracts before my appointment
THAT the French officials were al

factories that they know We represent:
That I was honorably discharged
from the army and came to America
in March, 1917. on a properly issued
French passport. with the full knowl-
edge Of the French authorities.
Nothing in this statement is IN
tended as a criticism of France or
those who are devoting their energies
to her in this hour of peril. My CEN

few, politicians whose ambitions over

Frank ]. Godsol. the French soldier
Commissioner Hit on the larceny
charge preferred forty days ago by the
counselor for the French embassy, was
taken this afternoon before Justice Hitk
Of the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia on the new warrant served
on him charging false pretenses in con-
nection with the purchase Of automo-

to set date for hearing on the new
charge made by Ambassador Jusserand.
which formed the basis Of the new war
rant.
for the accused made a strong plea
for the relief. of Godsol from Jail con-
flnement pending the hearing. He de-
clared that his client was prepared to
give any bail fixed by the court. but
IL the court should share the view of
missible under the treaty. then he ask
ed that Godsol be committed to the
custody of United States Marshal
Splain. and not committed to Jail as
he had been by the United States com
missioner. Under the proposed ar
rangement. it was stated, the marshal
might allow Godsol to reside at hotel

Godsol Issues Statement.

In a statement issued this morning
Godsol asserts that the new charges
are as unfounded as the first one. which
accused me of the larceny of 5000 in
Trance at a time when was in Amer
lea.
II am now charged with having mis-
represented to an agent OF the Pierce
Arrow Automobile Company that trucks
could only be sold to France through
me, and that the commissions paid me
by the Pierce Arrow Company we're
added to the price of the trucks to
France.
"A dead man has now been selected
to assist in these new charges-Norris
Perry. the agent referred to, was
drowned on the Lusitania. The Pierce
Arrow contract was entered into be-
tween Norris Perry. representing the
Pierce Arrow Company and Ellie Hello
poulos. representing me.
TT is evident that no misrepresenta-
tion. as alleged. was made. as many
other automobile manufacturers for
whom neither I nor my associates are
the agents were then selling and have
since sold more trucks to France than
the factories we are agents for. The
Pierce Arrow Company was always
aware Of this fact. and I am sure they
will not deny 1t.
