Showed Him Photo
During this first visit Muma
showed me an autographed photo of
William J. Burns taken about fifteen
years before. It was torn in the
middle and pieced with plaster. Muma
said Burns and Daugherty were old
friends of his. He had two letters
from Daugherty which he showed me.
In each of the letters the salutation
was My Dear Muma'
What did the letters say?"
"In both cases they were apparently
answers to letters sent to Daugherty
by Muma They were in connection
with some one getting promotion in
the Postoffice Department. I think.
when [ went back to Albany I pre-
pared to write a report on the Demp-
sey-Carpentier fight pictures when
Spellacy got me and told me, very ex-
citedly, that Muma was running the
conspiracy to show the pictures. Spell
lacy said Fred Quinby was getting
excited over an investigation being
made by a department agent named
Navarro. Spellacy gave me to under
stand that Attorney General Daugh-
erty was behind Muma and he won
dered what we should do"

He accused the attorney general
with being the head of the conspiracy
and Burns with aiding and abetting it,

Wheeler.
II wanted to find out about the

New York again and went to see
Muma to find out who was behind

Holdridge did not identify "Spel-

knew "Spellacy," connected with the
Department Of Justice.
Reads From Book
Holdridge refreshed his memory by
reading from a personal memorandum
made at the time and continued as fol
lows:
II read the report to Muma I was
going to make to the Department Of
Justice and Muma told me this story;
On or about July 4, 1921, Mr.. Murna
left New York for Washington, act
ing on arrangements previously made
with copies Of the freshly developed
films. He didn't explain with whom
he made arrangements, but said he
had everything fixed

was especially noticeable. recoveries
of close to two points taking place in
both classes. 1t has been stated for
months that the IS dividend rate
would have to be reduced and the
prolonged decline of the stock has
pretty well discounted such action.

several sections of the list. Profes-

rebounded, though attacks on the mo-

Professionals attempted to further
the decline by hammering at weak
spots through the first hour. These
tactics resulted in new lows in Kelly
Springfield. which dropped to 1873
in American Sumatra at 1914 and To

shares were depressed by a drive
against the tire shares, Studebaker
reaching a new low. on the movement

additional recessions in pivotal stocks,
