Attacks ON Fielder.
Senator Caraway put into the record
extracts from newspapers and other
matter attacking the character of

'it is shown that he and the Attorney
General have had a working partner

eral must have known and does know
the kind of a man he is and the kind
of a reputation he bears. and he
chooses him."

Caraway, "for the Senator. from New

referring to a letter that former
President Taft wrote to Mr.. Daugherty'
when the latter was running for tne
Senatorship in Ohio, In wnich MI. III
said Mr. Daugherty>did not exert pres
sure on him in the Morse case. Sena-
tor Caraway quoted from an article py
Mr. Taft in the Ladies Home journal,
written IN 1914, after he retired from the
Presidency. In this article Mr.. Iatt
referred to the Morse case as one OF
the things that shakes ones faith IN
expert examination.

Senator Caraway said he had written
to Mr.. Taft new Chief Justice. about
the case and he had replied that he did
not want to become MIXED up In 1t.
He called on the Attorney General to
make good his threat to go after Demo-
Gratis and to prosecute grafters
"All l want to say Is this. said Sem
ator Caraway. "ths Attorney General
must admit that he was joking-I Will
saw that to be polite-when he induced
the Senator from Indiana TO deny he
had anything to do with the Morse
case.''
He promised the Attorney General
that IL he did not make good on his
threats of prosecution another docu
ment "that he will not love" would B.,
printed in the Congressional Record.
Referring to the letter from Fielder to
Senator Wadsworth. which The Senator
inserted in the Record yesterday, Sem
ator Caraway said:
IT never would have discussed Mr..
.Feder's reputation at all If 1t had not
been that he was connected. and boast
ed Of the fact. with the Attorney-Gen-
eral. Harry Daugherty. in securing n
pardon. He thrust himself into the con-
troversy and his reputation was dis
cussed.
This whole controversy grew out of
reference l made TO report which
was common that Daugherty before he
became Attorney General had been in
strumental for procuring a pardon or
commutation of sentence for Morse.
when ] made that reference the
Senator from Indiana (Mr. Watson) had
insisted that the Attorney-General told
him he had absolutely nothing to do
with the pardon or Communication of
sentence for Morse"
Then Senator Caraway read from the
Record the statement made by Senator
Watson defending Mr. Daugherty,
which was made in the Senate on May
2. Senator Watson's statement, as
quoted from the Record, follows:
mean by that that my under
standing of the situation Is that he
was representing his client and that
the testimony of Mr.. Morse was
necessary. and in that way he had
contact with Morse. but he did not
get him out of the penitentiary. he
had not anything to do with getting
him out of the penitenltary, and he
received no fee for getting him out
of the penitentiary.
Attorney General Daughtery tele-
phoned from Baltimore tonight to his
private secretary, Warren Martin, that
he would have nothing to say Tonight
TO the Caraway charges. nor any COM
mont upon the exhibits which were pre-
sented by the Senator.
