PRESIDENT REJECTS
PLEA TO FREE DEBS
Amnesty for Political Pris-
Oners Receives Distinct
Setback.
Special Despatch 70 THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. c.. Jan. 81.


Propa ganda for general amnesty for
back. to-day when President Wilson dis
approved recommendation made by
Attorney-Genera Palmer for commute
ton of the sentence OF Eugene V. Debs.
Although it was known that the Presi-
deit looked with disfavor on interviews
given by Debs from the Atlanta peniten-
tiary, his prompt disapproval Of the At
torney-Generals recommendation came
somewhat as a surprise. 1t is the hrst
time the President has overturned fatty
a recommendation of the Attorney
General.
The President, It was learned, took
the position that no cause had been
shown why Debs should be set free, and
there was no question OF justice involved.
as his case went to the United States
Supreme Court and was decided only
after one OF the most bitterly fought
contests ever recorded
Mr.. Farmer recommended that Debs's
IL
airy ~. The Socialist candidate for
President will be eligible for parole
August II. 1922. and his sentence would
expire with the good behavior allowance
on December 90. 1925.
Mr.. Palmer submitted long review OF
the case In which he said Debs had been
severely If not adequately punished and
he indicated that no further good could
be served by keeping him In prison. 1t
was pointed out that Debs was IS years
old, that his health was bad and as a
result he probably would be unable to
serve the full sentence.
Debs always has been a model pris-
oner. He was the nominee Of the So
cialist party President in 1912, 1916 and
1920. He was arrested In October. 1918.
following q speech at Canton, Ohio. In
which he bitterly assailed the war and
this Governments participation In it.
He also attacked the selective service
draft Charges against him were brought
under the Espionage act and after q
| legal fight he was convicted and SEN
| fenced to ten years in prison. Appea
| was taken TO the Circuit Court Of Ap.
peals and then to the United States SUI
| preme Court.
There has been an unceaslng agitation
| for the release of Debs since he went &c
prison. The entire Socialist party raj.
| lied to his support and he was nomi
mated for President by the party with
acclaim when Its National Convention
! met last May.

truth he would admit that he was a
criminal
The thing has moved as ! expected.
II shows that the police are more afraid
OF the system than they are OF the law.
They will go to jail rather than tell the
truth. although BY telling the truth they
would gain immunity from prosecution.
The defence OF this officer, Armstrong,
which incidentally is not a legal de-
fence. for his refusal 10 answer is that
II could easily be proved If he told the
truth that he himself has committed a
series of crimes. But his testimony
would incriminate others. as / know. and
they are powerful enough 20 seal his lips
even with prison staring him In the
face"
Mr.. Whitman was reminded that Jack
Rose and Bridge Weber testified in the
Becker case under premise Of immunity
and that neither OF them went 10 jan.
There Is exactly the same situation
here" he replied. land II these men tell
the truth I'll see that nothing happens
to them. think II more important TO
get the truth than to indict one SER
geant"
Mr.. Whitman then said II was sig
nificant IN his opinion, that all the pay
ments TO Armstrong were made in cash
and at Police Headquarters.
AT Police Headquarters-get that
and in cash." he repeated. He added
There are instances where the money
has been paid by check and with the
consent Of the Police Commissioner.
which is required by the city charter.
but these are not such instances, and
you can see the reason why"
Mr.. Whitman was asked 10 tell just
where at headquarters the transactions
took place, and In what circumstances.
IT can't tell you about evidence before
the Grand jury" he answered.
Detective Sergeant Hussey is one OF
the honor men of the Police Depart
ment, meaning that he has received Il
medal for bravery. The indictment
charges him with asking for and re-
ceiving from Mark r. Decker, an in
surance adjuster. so reward for re-
covering Nathan SchwartZ's car
Schwartz and Decker were Grand Jury
witnesses. The details of the Hem
merck indictment were not made pub
lie. as he had not yet been formally
taken into custody. 1t is similar to
the Hussey indictment George Scott,
another member of the automobile
squad. was asked to be ready TO testify
before the Grand Jury yesterday al
though not subpoenaed. He was ex-
cused until Thursday. however.

BERGER Halls RULING
AS RETURN TO SANITY
Nothing to Retract; Proved
My Loyalty He Says.

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 31.-In a statement
issued this afternoon Victor l.. Berger
said
I'm view OF the plain wording Of the
Federal statute of 1918 compelling a
Federal Judge TO give way TO another
Judge whenever a sworn affidavit of
prejudice is filed. and also because of
Judge X NJ. Landis's public utterances
about German Americans. Socialists and
radicals before and after the trial. the
decision OF the Supreme Court could not
be any different and stand the light of
reason.
"Still, hall this decision as the first
real sign of returning sanity in our rul-
ing class.
"As matter of fact. the Chicago trial
was simply conspiracy of the pay
trioteers' and the profiteers against the
Socialist party. l was picked out as
the one member of the national execu-
tive committee who was of German ex-
traction and because the Socialist party
is strong in Milwaukee. and Furthermore
because I dared to be candidate for the
United States Senate against Woodrow
Wilson's favorite.
THE conspiracy has failed and have
nothing to retract from anything I have
written or said about the war or about
those who pushed US into this war.
IF what l said or wrote was error
citizens holding contrary opinions had
an equal right to speak and publish
their opinions SO that the public might
hear both sides.
~ have proved my love for this, my
country, by a life OF labor in It and for
it, by striving constantly with all my
energy TO improve the condition Of my
fellow men.
And finally l have proved my love
for America. my faith in Americas JUS
tice. by risking my liberty in defence Oh
the constitutional right of all American
citizens to discuss freely and fully the
official acts and policies of thefr public
serN wants.
THE law under which such suppress
sion was enforced is fiat denial OF
rights guaranteed every citizen by the

the detective was as mum as before. So
once more he was hailed before Judge
Grain. Mr.. Whitman asked that appro-
pirate action be taken. Thomas i. Sher-
idan, a former Assistant District Attor-
ney. appeared now as Armstrong; coun-
sci and asked the privilege of talking
with him. Judge Grain replied that the
witness would either answer or be adj
Judged in contempt of court. Mr.. Sher-
idan said It was true his client gained
immunity under the law. but wanted to
know II this would protect him In his
Job In the Police Department. But the
Judge turned to Armstrong and said:
Either you will answer the question
or you will not do so. Mr.. Armstrong.

words in this fashion: Armstrong made

Anyway, after being in the Grand Jury
room few minutes yesterday morning
Mr.. Whitman directed his investigating
aid, Detective AL Thomas, to take Arm
strong to General Sessions before Judge
Grain. There, when the Grand Jury had
assembled. Mr.. Whitman told the Judge
that Armstrong had refused to answer
these three questions:
ION May 26, 1920. did you receive
500 as a reward for the recovery Of
Hudson car?
"On April 10, 1920. did you receive $50
in cash from an Insurance man named
Lessner for recovering a Dodge carr
ION July IS, 1920, did you receive a
reward of $40 cash for recovering
Ford carr"
Immunity Given Automatically.
Armstrong Mr.. Whitman said. had not
been asked to sign a waiver OF immunity
and therefore immunity was granted to
him automatically.
ION what ground do you refuse to
answer" Judge Grain asked the detec-
tive, but the latter stood silent before
the bench until he answered Yes, SIR"
when asked II he wished to have counsel
assigned to advise him. Frank Aranow
was assigned. He talked with his new
client Whitman suddenly objected. He
told the Judge the lawyer was advising

cline TO answer question II 1t tended
to incrimlnate or degrade him. AS i'm
munity already had been granted to
Armstrong he could not incriminate HIM
SELF Whitman commended.
Judge Grain, referring to the questions
asked Armstrong In the Grand Jury
room, said 1T seems to me plain that
these would not tend to degrade you as
they cannot incriminate you because you
have already received immunity. I In

EUGENE DEBS JOYOUS
OVER BERGER VICTORY

ATLANTA, Jan. 3l.--Eugene V. Debs,
in the Federal prison here. expressed
great pleasure to-day on receiving the
news Of the decision of the United states
Supreme Court In the cases of Victor T..
Berger and four other Socialist leaders.
but declined to make any comment on
President Wilson's refusal to commute
his sentence.
Discussing the decision, Debs said IN
a statement that 'the reversal will have
wholesome effect throughout the
country"
IT didn't see how anything else could
happen when the Supreme Court re-
viewed all the facts in the case" the
statement continued. "Mr. Berger and
his friends should never have been found
guilty in the first place"
The New York herald. [volume] (New York, N.Y.) 1920-1924, 1921-02-01


Under to-day's ruling the case prob
ably will not be finally decided until a
District Court again tries the case, a
Circuit Court of Appeals passes upon
that decision and that In turn Is brough,
to the Supreme Court
Justice McReynolds In q dissenting
opinion strongly upheld Judge Lands,
while Justices Day and Pitney. also dis
senting. claimed that Judge Lands
should have been upheld because the
official report OF his remarks. alleged to
be prejudiciai. showed an entirely DIFF
ferent attitude OF mind from that which
the affidavit attributed to him. Justice
McReynolds said:
The affidavit discloses no adequate
grounds for believing that personal
feeling existed against any one Of them.
The indicated prejudice was toward GER
tain malevolent men from Germany, a
country then engaged In Hunnish war
fare. and VIGOROUSLY encouraged by
many OF it's natives who unhapplly had
obtained citizenship here. The words
attributed to the Judge Il do not credit
the affidavit's accuracy may be fairly
construed as showing detestation for "a
crowd of Germans then engaged In
abusing privileges granted by our in
dulgent laws.
VI course no Judge snOulu pfes1de III
he entertains actual personal prejudice
toward any party. and 10 this obvious
disqualification Congress added honestly
entertained belief OF such prejudice when
based on fairly adequate facts and cir
cumstances. Intense dislike of a class
does not render the Judge incapable OF
administering complete justice TO one Of
II members. A public officer who enter
tanned no aversion toward disloyai Ger
man immigrants during the late war was
simply unfit for his place. And while
an overspeaking Judge Is no well tuned
cymbal. neither is an amorphous dummy
unspotted by human emotions n becom-
ing receptacle for judicial power.
1T was not the purpose OF Congress
to empower an INSCRIPTIONS defendant
seeking escape from merited domestic
enemies in time Of national danger. The
concern of the judge as such In these
matters liz indeed small. but the concern
of the public Is enormous

SIN in Cell Late at Night.

The Judge told the Grand Jury that II
might consider the advisability Of fling
an indictment charging criminal con-
tempt of court. Armstrong was taken to
the Tombs. II was supposed his lawyer
would try to get him out on a writ OF
habeas corpus, but late last night the
detective was still In cell.
When Mr.. Whitman met reporters he
seemed elated over something and said
things had gone just as he had expected
they would. He produced list compiled
from the records of three insurance COM
panies. They indicated that nine rewards
aggregating 1910 had been paid to Arm
strong in May. June and July last year
for retrieval of automobiles. The pay
ments were May 26. morning. 800. af-
ternoon, $50: April 1s. $50; July 8, $40:
other dates unspecified. payments of $50.
$50. 500. 800. 800.
These" said Mr.. Whitman, were
payments from three insurance compa-
MES. There are other companies. You
can see why Armstrong did not want to
testify. All this money was paid In
cash at Police Headquarters. These pc
iicemen say II was all right for them
to take the money. as they had the per-
mission Of the Commissioner. yet when
they are asked about II before a Grand
Jury they say they might be incriminat-
