Stenographic Record Shows
He AbsoIved Defendant
In Bogus Records

In a, most unusual legal
move, the Government today
recalled one of its own prose
cution witnesses to the stand
to show he had made contra
dictory statements concerning
the guilt of a defendant.
The Witness was John H. Ed
wards, jr., who had testified in
the trial of Frank G. Raichle
yesterday that he could not re
member making a statement to
Seth w. Richardson. an Assistant
Attorney General, in which he
declared that Raichle knew moth
ing of the falsity of documents
introduced in defense of G. Bryan
Pitts.
Edwards did testify positively,
however, that he told Richardson
that Raichle knew the documents
were fakes.
Record COntradicts
Raichle is being tried on
charges of Subornation of perjury
and an attempt to obstruct JUS
tice, the charges being based
upon false testimony of Pitts and
faxed papers prepared for Pitts
defense when he was tried for
conspiring to embezzle $5,000,000
from the F.. H. Smith Company.
When Edwards had repeatedly
declared yesterday that he knew
of no statement he made to
Richardson generating Raichle,
he was excused from the stand
and the prosecution shortly there
after suddenly asked that it be
allowed to rest it's case, but
reserved the privilege of putting
on more witnesses today if there
were new developments.
The stenographic copy of the
statements made to Richardson
was not put in evidence by the
Government before it rested it's
case yesterday 1t was learned
that Attorney General Mitchell
telephoned directions that no
more testimony be presented un-
til he could confer with Special
Prosecutors Nugent Dodds and
Neil Burkinshaw.
Ask Directed Verdict
Today, at the Attorney Gen.
erals direction, Edwards was re,
called to the stand and the
transcript of his statement to
Richardson was introduced. It
revealed that in several CONVEX
sations with the Assistant Attor-
ney General, Edwards had stated
positively seven times that Raj
chile had no knowledge that the
papers were fictitious. 1t also
revealed that Edwards had told
Richardson that Pitts had direct
ed him not to tell Raichle that
the papers were false.
Edwards said that at one point
IN his conversation with Richard
son, he asked that the stenog-
rapher temporarily stop taking
down their words in shorthand.
Then, off the record" as he
put it, he said he told Richard.
son that he believed Raichle knew
that the papers were not what
they purported to be.
Immediately after Edwards was
excused from the stand today
defense Attorney James o. Moore
made motions that the entire
testimony given by Pitts and Ed
wards be stricken from the rec.
ordS on the grounds that they
have been impeached as wit
nesSes and moved that verdict
of not guilty be directed by the
court.
Prosecution counsel oppose
the motion and a lengthy argu-
ment enSued.

pie pretty badly here and we thought it was

Hennum added.
Hennum is not wealthy but, said he:
IN Az wife and have bsen fortunate in hav
'V' ing had good health and in having been
able to make our living and still lay by little
something in addition. People here have been
hit hard with crop losses and financial reverses.
Before the debt-canceliation plan was de-
cided upon, we took an inventory. We decided
we still could get along and operate q store,
even if we're not so young as We once were.

I tried to keep it quiet. 1t was just a Christian
act the will Of God"
But an act Of generosity as large as the Hen
NUNS could not be done quietly Neighbors and
townSpeople, all with genuine cause for graft
tude, refused to keep quiet.
They tell you that Mr.. and Mrs. Hennum
are nearly so years old and that he has resided
in the vicinity nearly all this time. He was
born at the tiny inland town of Alabaton, Iowa,
nearby, attended Norwegian Bible School and
was member of the Lutheran Church.
He always has been hard worker and sue
cess has attended all his efforts. AS youth
of 10. Hennum went to Sioux City and worked
for his room and board while attending busi
ness college. The next few years he spent as an
instructor in the college.
Then he entered the real estate business at
Sibley, Iowa, before opening a general mercan-
tile business at Maple Landing, Iowa. Shortly
before this he was married to Miss Alma Al
cock neighbor girl from his home town.
Mrs. Hennum operated the store while her
husband ran "peddler wagon" He took or
ders from farmers one day and delivered them
the next. Then the young couple tried farming
for four years before returning to the Maple
Landing store
In 1918 the Hennums moved to Sloan and
they have been there since Both are active In
church and community circles Of the town.

The Hennums haven't been able to keep the
townspeople from talking about them.

gazed across the street at the village store:
"It was Rutledge, guess, who said: BY doing
good with his money man as 1t were stamps
the image of God upon it, and makes it pass
current for the merchandise of heaven
81 guess Jim and his wife just felt they had
room for one more line on those shelves OF
theirs over there"

ONE resident Of Sloan put 1t this way:
~ "They have just one child and she is COM
fortably provided for. They have enough to
keep them the rest Of their lives. guess they
just decided to do something for some body
else"
Old-time residents Of Sloan recall another
similar bright spot in the towns history. Years
ago a bank failed in Sloan The president, Art
Handy. owned q good deal Of real estate and
personal property. When the bank became in
solvent Handy sold all his possessions, pauper-
izing himself, but he paid depostors 100 cents
on the dollar.
The Hennums viii be happy when their act
is forgotten.
Il wish people would quit talking about II"
Hennum said gravely. ITS been little hard,
getting things back to normal around the
store"
But long after things get back to normal and
Hennum's charge accounts begin to swell again
he'll be hearing from his amazing act Of gen.
erosity, dislike 1t as he may.
COR as newspapers spread the story, he was
deluged with letters from far and near,
commencing him. Some were hopeful he had
set precedent that others would follow. Many,
far from the sphere of his benefaction, prayed
Gods blessing on him and his wife.
