IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1


WASHINGTON, May 25.-Attorney
General Daugherty will assume per-
sonal direction of the prosecution OF
war fraud cases, it was announced to-
night at the department of justice.
Associated with the attorney gen.
eral. the statement said, will be a
number of distinguished lawyers
from all parts of the country selected
for their especial fitness for the
posts.
Among those will be Representa-
tive C. Frank Reavis of Nebraska,
who will resign his seat IN congress
in order to take up this work on
June 4.
Colonel Henry w. A. Anderson of
Richmond, Va. the announcement
said, also would assist the attorney
general as well as former Represen-
tative Roscoe c. McCulloch of Can
ton, Ohio, appointed recently by Mr..
Daugherty to investigate war cam
tonment cases.
The attorney general said he was
not willing to make the names of the
other counsel public at this time.
BY assuming direction of the war
fraud cases, Mr.. Daugherty said he
would be able to save in the prose
cution the salary of $4,000 or $4,000
a year which otherwise would have
been paid toeone special assistant
attorney general under authority of
congress which "hes placed no lini-
tation" on the same salary to be paid
this official. The assistants already
selected, it was said, are "nnen whose
incomes in private practice are prob
ably five times as large as the
amount which they will receive for
the conspicuous service they will
render to the government and the
people"
Determination of the attorney gen
eral to direct the cases himself
meant, he said, that all of the prin-
cipal assistants employed in these
cases will receive salary of only

DEFENSE ARGUMENTS
WILL CLOSE TODAY IN
THE SODERMAN TRIAL
[RepubIIcan A. p. Leased wlrel


DALLAS, Texas, May 25-The trial
of David E. Soderman, charged with
the murder of Jay Clay Powers, will
go to the jury upon completion of
eight hours argument by the state
and defense tomorrow.
Judge G. A. Pippen, reading his
charge to the jury, instructed it to
find the defendant guilty of murder,
if it believed from the evidence that
Soderman's mind was not moved "by
such anger, rage, resentment, or ter
ror as to render his mind incapable
of cool reflection" and if he was
''cool and calm and shot with malice
aforethought.'
The jury was instructed to find
the defendant guilty of manslaughter
and to assess in that event prison
sentence of from two to five years,
''if you believe from the evidence, be-
yond reasonable doubt, that the de-
fendant unlawfully shot Powers"
If in this connection" the charge
explained you find Mrs. Soderman
advised him orally or by written
communication that the deceased had
been guilty of improper conduct with
her and if you further find the defen-
dant believed said oral or written
statement to be true then, instruct
you that his legal rights be the same
and he should have the same rights
to act upon them to the same extent
as fully and completely as if they
were true, although you may believe
from the evidence that the state
ments made to him, if any of these
were made by his wife, with refer
ence to improper conduct of the de-
ceased with her were in fact not
true"
A verdict of not guilty upon the
grounds of insanity should be rem
dered il Soderman was insane and
not moved by the voluntary ardent
spirits alone" the court instructed.
Mrs. Lena Budd Powers, the widow,
was a witness today. She refuted
testimony of Mrs. Soderman as to
intimate relations between her and
Powers. She said she or the house
keeper We're with Powers during the
time Mrs. Soderman said she was
first betrayed by him at Fort Worth /;
that her daughter was with him al
the second alleged time in San An
| tonic, and that she was with her hus-
band at the third occurrence testi-
fled to by Mrs. Soderman, ON the oc-
casion Of a recital given by Mrs
