LACY OFFERED TO
MAKE STATEMENT
IN 1915-GREEN
State Representative Declares
He requested Noted Pris-
oner to Make No Report
at That Time
BY FRED H. GOKMLEY
Montgomery Bureau The Age-Herald,
221-2 First National Bank Building


Montgomery. November 25.-(Spe-
ciaL)-Theo Lacy. former chief clerk
of the state convict department. who
has been a prisoner in the state peni-
Tertiary since 1914 as a result Of the
defalcation in 1913. was ready and
willing to make a full statement to
the public regarding the loss of the
states money several years ago. but
was requested by Joseph w. Green,
member of the house of representa-
tives. not to make the report after
rumors had been started that he
might be sent to the coal mines. ac-
cording to the statement made before
the board of pardens Friday by Mr..
Green.
Mr.. Green said he met Lacy one
day and that Lacy informed him he
had the statement in his pocket and
was willing to turn 1t over to Mr..
Green for publication. Mr.. Green said
he had heard rumors that IL Lacy
made the statement he might be sent
to the coal mines. and he not only
refused to accept the statement but
requested that 1t not be published.
Mr.. Green came voluntarily before
the board of pardons because of
charges that Lacy should have made
a full exposition of all facts con-
nected with the defalcation several
years ago.
The statement, transcribed by the
secretary of the board of pardonsi
follows:
There has been some question as
to why Theo Lacys statement did
not come out before. Several years
ago l had a conversation with Mr..
Lacy. He agreed to make me a full
statement that I could give out to
the public. He said:
"I am not doing this with the
object of obtaining any favors. but
want to relieve my mind. 1 do no.
expect any clemency or consideration
on account OF it.
He was to put it in writing and
turn 1t over to me. When 1 went
back to see him again, he said: I
have the statement here in my pocket
now But, in the meantime he
said he had heard that there was
well founded rumor that IL he gave
out any statement at that time he
could very easily land in Flat Top
Mines and he said: I don't want to
go to the coal mines. but / will give
you the statement and IL you think
hest you can take 1t and use it,
Whether the rumor was we'll
founded or not. told him he had bet
ter not give me the statement. /
said: Theo. don't give 1t to ma. /
won't have IT. He said: I put my
self in your hands. You can take it
and publish 1t If You want
that rumor, which I thought was
well founded. I had heard the rumor
before he told me. He offered to eiys
me the statement IL he could be pro-
teeted. l did not have any way to
protect him at that time, and I would
not take the step. That conversation
was held in the penitentiary at We
tumpka. 1t was during the year,
1915"

LAND ARMAMENT is
HELD IN RESERVE
Many Obstacles in the WAY
of a Settlement of This
Question

Washington, November sb.-Al-
though the. arms conference is TAX
ing no steps toward limitation of
armies 1t was said authoritatively
tonight that the question of land
armament was in reserve" and
might come up for at least a general
expression of policy when the naval
and far eastern problems are out of
the way.
Any attempt to secure a hard and
fast agreement on land ornaments,
1t was pointed out, would involve
many handicaps which do not apply
to the Limitation of naval power.
France with the largest army in the
world, already has declared her un-
Willingness to weaken materially her
position under present circum-
stances. Poland, which has nearly
as many men under arms as has
France, IL not represented in the
conference, and neither is Russia with
her vast possibilities of man power,
nor the smaller states of central and
southern Europe. Whose national pol
icies are linked up with the main
tenance of large armies.
To open up the question to detailed
discussion it would therefore be con
sidered necessary by the American
delegates at least to enlarge greatly
the scope of the conference. 1t Is
realized, too, that the discussions
might lead the conference far afieid
into the realm of intricate interna-
tfonal relationships now agitating
Europe in the aftermath of the World
war.
In that connection. Lord Curzon's
warning to France. pronounced in a
public address yesterday. was read
eagerly, but without comment by the
arms delegates. Throughout the ne
gotiations here there has been an eff
fort to keep present considerations
of European policy as much in the
background as possible, and the view
understood to be taken generally Is
that precise agreement in regard
: to land ornaments is not essential to
the success of the conference.
At any rate the clearly defined pur-
pose of the conference at the present
stage is to leave possible controver-
sizes over land armament in the pig
ecnhole and go ahead with the sub
jects which show greater promise of
accomplishment
