Senator Myers of Montana, demo-

rageous" the statement recently is

diana and charging him with having
been a lobbyist.
Senator Myers called attention to
the reply of the commission to a Ser
ate resolution asking by whose au-
thcrity the statement about Senator
Watson was issued. The reply places
the responsibility fully upon the COM
mission.
I'm my opinion" said Senator Myers.
cit was outrageous for the Federal
Trade Commission. a bureau of the
executive department.. to make a
scurrilous attack of this kind upon a
member of this body because he in
troduced resolution as to re-
ports that the commission had en-
ployed socialists and bolshevists
which was adopted by the Senate
Such a statement was entirely out of
place and in violation of the pro-
prietieS
II don't know whether the commits
sion has employed any socialists or
bolshevists but 1 do know that social
lists and bolsheyists have been en-
ployed by the government. Senator
Watson had a perfect right to ask
for this investigation, and the SEN
ate approved his resolution unani-
mously."

murder in the first degree by a jury
in Criminal Division before Justice
Gould. The penalty under the law is

ing of Richard Duvall, fifteen years
old, June Z last. in the woods near
Brookland while engaged in robbing
him of $2e which the boy had con-
cealed in one of his shoes. The body
was not discovered until June 10.
DR.. John NJ. Ladd of the Washington
Asylum Hospital, testified. that the
prisoner has a mind equivalent to
that of a child of ten years. He ad-
mitted that Webster could distin-
guish between right and wrong. but
SAID that the strong minds of the
detectives coerced: the admissions of
guilt contained in his. alleged con-
LESSONS.
Webster took the stand, and while
admitting the truth of portions of the
confession, denied intention to kill
DuvaIl. He said that the pistol was
discharged by accident and that the
