HARDING ADM|TSH He
MIGHT HAVE ERRED
Iowa Governor Target Of Harsh
Grilling by Legislature Con-
cerning Rathbun Pardon
Case; Quiz Financial Status.

Des Molnes. Ia, March 27.-"I may
have made a mistake"
That was the only admission wrung
from Governor w. l.. Harding by H.
w. Byers, counsel for the house ju-
dietary committee. probing the pardon
of Ernest Rathbun. Ida county social
criminal.
The legislative investigating body
had the state executive on the grill for
more than four hours during a late
afternoon and night session yesterday.
The governors testimony brought no
admission that he had broken a prece-
dent in pardoning Rathbun without re-
ferring the application to the parole
board.
He did not concede that the appli-
cation for pardon. to his knowledge,
did not comply with the law.
Byers failed to bring out an admis
sion that Harding wilfully attempted
to withhold information when he de-
livered his Rathbun message to the
assembly last month. The governor
was positive. he did not try to protect
his act after he reached the conclu-
sion that he had been deceived In is-
suing the pardon. When Harding re-
sumes late this afternoon he will be
asked to produce his personal bank ac-
counts for the last four months OF 1918.
He will also be asked to produce any
personal notes he might have redeemed
during the same period.
