Republican national committee. and
Smith was delegated to get back
81. OOO. 900 of it from the bootleg
trade and through the agency or
United States district attorneys.
To support this statement the SEN
ator produced excerpts from testl-
mony given by former District AT
torney Boyles of Southern Alabama
in a court proceeding at Mobile. The
court record, he said, showed that
Boyles testified be talked with
Frank w. Boykin, a friend of
Smiths. about raising the $2,OO0O00
Reading from the record, Heflin said
Boyles quoted Boykin as saying that
"the plan is to have liquor men, the
men in the liquor business and the
breweries to contribute to this fund"
and that United States attorneys in
some places already had been ar
ranged with" to do the actual coll
lecting.
All of this testimony, said Sem
ator Heflin, was read at secret
meeting of the senate judiciary COM
mittee last April, when Boyles' NOM
ination for another term as district
attorney was pending. Boyles him.
the committee record he said at one
point that he had not said the things
attributed to him. The district at

Il don't know whether it was Mel
Ions money or the governments. but
| know 100000 was brought in and
Jess Smith was assigned to get the
other 100000.
Senator Helm said he made these
statements because he h~1 heard
that he would receive a request from
District Attorney Buckner of New

charge that Smith was murdered. He
continued:
This is one of the reasons why
they wanted to get rid of Smith.
stated here the other day that Jess
Smith knew more than anybody
could with the department of justice
OF the high handed work of Mr.
Daugherty, and that the reason for
getting rid of him was a very strong
one.
I'VE were conducting here a gen.
eral investigation of the whole thing
1t was rumored also that Jess Smith
grew exceedingly nervous over II
and that he had made up his mind to
make clean breast of it all. But
Jess Smith never lived to make that
clean breast. He was murdered"
The jury that acquitted Albert g.
Fall and Edward l.. Doheny in the oil
conspiracy case was described by
Senator Heflin as collection OF
dice shooters and card players.
and he suggested the senate ask that
the conspiracy charge against Fall
and Harry +. Sinclair be tried in
some other city.
