is FIRED ON
.DAUGHERTY
Detailed Story of Alleged
Graft Is Told to Federal
Jury at New York.
JESSE SMITH IS NAMED
Described as Go-BetWeen
for German Manufacturer.

Sp United Press
NEW YORK, Sept. S.-The Gov
eminent today unfolded a veritable
detective story by which it expects
to prove that Harry NJ. Daugherty,
former attorney general and Thomas
w. Miller, former alien property
custodian, defrauded it of their best
advice and services.
United States Attorney Emory r.
Buckner in his opening statement.
charged that Richard Merton of
Frankfort, Germany, came to this
country in April 1921 and through
the late Jesse Smith, DaughertyS
confidant, laid by improper means
foundations which made possible
the return to a Swiss concern al.
legedly controlled by him 100000
in assests Aof the seized American
Metals Company.
Buckner said he would prove that
1891 900 in Liberty bonds came into
the hands of the late John T. King,
former Republican national COM
mitteeman from Connecticut and
that $50, 900 of the bonds were traced
directly into the possession of Miller.
Buckner said that a day after King
collected coupons on 100000 worth
of the bonds, the coupons amounting
to s2,125, a deposit of that amount
was made in the account of Daugh-
erty in his brothers bank at Wash
ihgton Courthouse, Ohio.
Much Negotiation
After much negotiation the assets
were ordered returned.
Buckner said he would prove that
the assets were reducedt to cash
excepting for $S91,OOO, which was in
Liberty bonds.
Miller, he charged, then took per-
sonally the Governments check for
S6,500,000, representing the amount
of cash, and brought it to New York
with him. Jesse Smith accompanied
him.
That night at the Ritz-Carlton in
New York Buckner charged Smith.
