CLIFFORD
SAYS
Attorneys for Crippled Million
aire Declare Him Incapable
Of Assault Charged.

Patrick J. Clifford is the vic
tim Of "blackmail" and was ply
sically incapable of committing a
criminal assault on Miss Bessie L.
Brennan, his attorneys declared,
in making their opening remarks
to a jury in the District Supreme
Court today.
Evidence that the 100000 suit
which the twenty-five-year-old
telephone operator has brought
against Clifford is a Gigantic
blackmail scheme" will be the
crippled mans chief defense.
Clifford for several years has
been required to walk on crutches.
Lawyers Allege Trap.
Miss Brennan charges in her suit
that she was assaulted in Febru
airy, 1923, by Clifford after she hae
accompanied him on an automobile
ride out on the Marlboro pike.
1--WE will prove that Clifford was
trapped into taking this ride anC
was then the victim Of this schem
ing girl" w. H. Collins, one OF
Clifford's attorneys, declared in. g
speech to the jury. I'VE deny every
charge"
The first witness called in de
tense Of Clifford's denial Of the
charges was Miss Adelaide Villet
OF Baltimore, formerly telephone
operator at the Emerson and Orme
garage. Miss Villet declared that
during the afternoon just prior
to the alleged assault she had
telephoned to Miss Brennan and
asked her to relieve her that eve
ming. .'....
Miss villet declared that Miss
Brennan refused to do this and
said: Il have very important
engagement tonight that will mean
lot to me.
Il have met a millionaire and
| will soon be riding around in my
limousine and showing you a LOT
of diamonds"
Miss Villet testified that at the
request of Miss Brennan she visited
her in her room at the Evangeline
Hotel. 1880 L street northwest, two
days later. At that time, she said
she did not see any bruises OF
scratches on Miss Brennan's body
waiting for Something"
A week after this visit, she said
che met Miss Brennan on the street
At that time she testified that Miss
Brennan said to her: "I have beer
waiting for something like this fol-
long time"
Several witnesses were called al
the opening of court today in sup
port of Miss Brennan's charges.
Their questioning developed into
incessant wrangling between oppos
ing attorneys as to the admissible
ity of certain evidence.
A letter which, it was alleged, was
written by Clifford to Miss Bren
nan the morning after the alleged
assault and which was said to have
accompanied Miss Brennan's hat
which Clifford returned to her, wa.
finally admitted in evidence.
The letter follows:

The outcome indicates that La
Toilette has not gone back one
inch in Wisconsin but on the con-
trary is actually stronger than ever
in the Wisconsin Republican party.
Meanwhile the results In the
Democratic Presidential primary in
Wisconsin are equally an indica-
ton and a proof Of the power Of
La Toilette in Wisconsin.
McAdoo would have carried the
Democratic Presidential primary in
Wisconsin overwhelmingly il it had
not been for La Toilette.
The Democratic party in Wis.
consin Is small. A relatively small
number of votes Is enough to carry
and dominate it. The organized
railroad workers of Wisconsin had
been prepared and ready to go into
the Democratic primary in Wiscon-
sin and vote for McAdoo against
AL Smith, of New York.
AL Smith was scheduled to be
slaughtered. there was no doubt
about his fate. The railroad work
ers were amply numerous enough
to kill him in Wisconsin as q
Presidential aspirant.
Then came a sudden call from
La Toilette quarters.
The La Toilette followers, some Of
them, decided that La Toilette
needed the votes Of the railroad
workers to make big showing for
him in the Republican primary.
The call went out.
The railroad workers were sum.
moned at all their roundhouses
and all their lodges to come to the
polls and not be Democrats for
McAdoo but Republicans for La
Toilette.
They responded. They abandoned
the Democratic primary and Nc
Adoo. They went into the Repub
lican primary and voted for La
Toilette. This il the inside OF
what happened and II explains beth

Further sensational charges that
the Government was bilked out Of
millions Of dollars in aircraft
frauds that were never prosecuted
or else settled out Of court for
fractional sums of the money In
volved, were laid before the Brook
hart Wheeler committee today by
Thomas F. Lane, an air service
attorney, whose suspension from
duty aroused the resentment OF
the committee to such an extent
that Secretary of War Weeks has
been requested to investigate.
Lane cited one deal wherein
the Standard Aircraft Corporation
sold the Government a plant at
Plainfeld, N. j., for $1,619,000.
which had cost the corporation
$4,000.
Lane told the committee that
his personal files had been seized
by Capt. William F. Volandants
of the air service, and the COM
mittee forthwith passed q motion
ordering the files produced for
public examination.
Denounced by Senators.
The suspension of Lane was char
acterized by Senator Wheeler Rep1
of Montana as a ''palpable effort
to suppress testimony on war fraud
cases."
II think this Captain volaudt
has been extremely offensive If not
dishonest" Senator Ashurst Oem.D
of Arizona, observed.
Lane said the first case to arouse
his suspicious was a settlement
with the Lincoln Motors Company
of Detroit.
The Department of Justice, he
said, after investigating an over
payment Of $9,188,0OO to the Lincoln
Company, recommended that the
War Department accept a settle
ment offer of $3.50 900, which was
done. Lane declared the Govern
ment had Such eXceilent GROUNDS
for suit that 1t might have re.
covered a much larger sum.
Protested by Patrick.
1.-THE overpayment included ST..
000,0 for anticipated profits.
said Lane. 1.-The Lincoln Company
was paid what they guessed their
profits would have been on work
which was never DONE"
Lane said the settlement was pro-
tested by Maj. Gen. Mason Patrick,
chief Of the Air Service, and As
sistant Secretary OF War Vain.
