Caraway then read what he de-
clared to be a copy Of a letter writ
ten direct to Morse by Daugherty
on April 80, 1918, In which the At.
torney General complained "the
$4,000 fee was still due him."
"'You will see there is a bal.
ance due Of $25,o0o for services
rendered when your term was COM
muted.' ..
"If this transaction had been one
q man should be proud Of. the At
torney General would never, have
assured his close personal friend.
the Senator from Indiana wat
SOM, that he had absolutely nothing
to do with the case" Caraway con-
tinued. "The Attorney General
told the Indiana Senator he had
nothing to do with the case because
the Senator made that very state
ment on the floor of the Senate
When the Attorney General denied
connection with this case while
knowing the statement was false
he took advantage of his friendship
with the Indiana Senator.
Fielder and the Attorney Gen.
eral have had working partner
ship for years. The record shows
that they had a working partner
ship to get Morse out Of the peni.

collect a large contingent fee If
they did 30.
Every lawyer knows that a con-
tingent fee means, If we don't get

out Of the penitentiary on the pleu
that he was dying from Brights
disease, although my information is
all to the effect that he wasn't a
sick man at ALL"

statement that he intended to prose.

'If he doesn't do what he says he

Caraway.
Senator Watson, Democrat, Of
Georgia. took sharp exception TO a
letter written by Fielder explaining
his course in the Morse case, which
Senator Wadsworth, Republican, of
New York. previously had read into
the record.

Senator Willis Rep) Of Ohio
wound up the debate by attacking
the. evidence upon which he said
Csraway and Watson were seeking
to link up Fielder and Daugherty.
III Fielder Is the kind of a man
the Senators on the other side say
he Is, he is apparently not worthy
of belief and his word cannot be re-
lied upon" Willis said.
