Claim That Jess Smith Was,
' Killed to Silence Him
In the most sensational protest ever presented in the halls
Thomas Heflin of Alabama has made two
l slashing attacks in the Senate on the acquittal of Albert B. Fall
3 and Edward L. Boheny, offering testimony to bolster his state-
ment that Jess Smith, dead political go-between, was murdered
his part in crooked transactions
of ex-Attorney General Daugherty and other. high officials.
Smith. the fiery aoutherner rs-
called. was the man commissioned to
collect' 82.000.000 from the liquor
agents and bootleggcrs when that
amount was needed to repay to
Secretary Mellon tho 85.000.000
that he leaned the Republican Na-
tional Committee to elect the Hard-
tinn-Coolidge ticket in 1920.
! llcading into the record numerous

Kill honest senator present who did
not endorse it. Of the 40 odd who
out through his tirade only one in-
tcrrupted to announce himself as an
exception. Senator Bruce of Marv-
land.
He read from testimony before
the Senate Judiciary «Committee in
April concerning the reappointment
of Aubrey Boylcs, of Mobile. Ala. as
district attorney. At committee
hearing Boyle. quoted his conversa-
tion with Frank lioykin an alleged
bootieggcr. and intimate friend or
Jess Smith. Boyles testified:
"Ho (Boykin) said. 'You know
Secretary Mellon loaned the lie-
publican National Committee :5.-
000,000. Only 814,000,000 has been
repaid. There is a. deficit of 52,.

llng up that money.

"I said. what is the plan. Frank?
He says. ‘I have no definite plan
now. 1 am going to Washington tu~
night. I will find out all about it.
and I will let you know when 1
come back'."
lieflin shouted: ‘
. "That is one of the reasons why
they wanted to get rid of Jess
Smith. I stated here the other day
that Jess Smith know more than
anybody else cou'lu'lctcd with the De-
-partment of Justice of the high-
honded work of M r. Daugherty and
that the rcnson for getting rid of
him was a \‘ery strong one."
"Aiding" Buckner
Holiln explained that he was offer-
ing the testimony of lloylcs because
District Attorney Buckner. of New
York. had written. asking for any
in to rat at lo n he had regarding
Smith's death. lie continued:
“It has been' openly and notori~
ousiy asserted all along that Smith
was the crooked agent of Mr.
Daugherty; that he went out and
collected money from the bootleg-
gors and that through that. money
paid into Daugherty they obtained
unwritten license to carry on their
traffic.
"It was stated here about the
capitol jut: after they murdered Jess
Smith that ills part of the loot
amounted to over $300,000.
“Jess Smith know so much that it
was desired to get rid of him. We
were conducting a general investiga-
tion of the whole thing. It was ru-
mored also that Jess Smith grew ex-
ceedingly nervous over it and that
he made up his mind to make a
clean breast of it all. but Jess never
lived to make that clean breast; he
died; he was murdered.
Scandal Charged
“This statement here. Mr. Presi-
dent. constitutes one of the greatest
scandals in the history of the na-
tion. The District Attorney wants to
know of me why I suggested that
they wished to murder him: I‘give
him the testimony in concrete form.
“Mr. President. this is a gruesome
story. It is enough to make any pa-
triot hang his head in shame that
our country has fallen upon such
evil days when there is crookcdness
and corruption in every nook and
corner of the capital; when the
Secretary ‘of the Treasury is loan-
ing money./ and I do not know
where it came from or whether it
was Mr. Mellou's money or the
Government’s money. but that money
is being brought in.
"Three million of it has already
been collected. and there are 82.-
000,000 more to be collected. Gov-
ernment officials who will
be instrumental are sought out and
Boyles is asking for a. letter to .less
Smith. this notorious blacklcg.
gambler and agent of the crooked
interests. appealing to him. who has
authority and power and influence
with the Department of Justice, to
have ills man appointed United
States Marshal to gather in the loot,
and carry on this rotten work."
’i‘urnlng again to the acquittal of
Fall and Dohonl’. Hcflln read a
newspaper headline:

He praised the decision of the Cir-
cuit Court of Appeals. declaring the
losers null and void. and commended
the judge. although a Republican
us “an honest man. thank God."
At one point Senator Hetlin said:
“iloheny had testified that he
would make “00.000000 profit;
and hero is a jury of boys. I am told
min-enty-four or twenty-five or
lu-rnly-slx years old-—and they are

"I repeat that if Dohony and Fall

side. from somebody. they never
nould have permitted that case to go
to trial. The day they announced
they were ready they knew they had
already poisoned the channels of
justice in this‘ city and that they
were either going to be acquitted or
a mistrial would be had."
Heflin quoted one Republican Sen-
alter as saying:
“You cannot convict $100,000,000
in this country." ’
I‘lo added:
"That is a. sad commentary upon
our system and our courts. some of

It makes no difference how high lb
criminal is. how rich ho is. how in-

in our country you hear good men

ous crime is committed. 'Whv. he
will never be convicted.’ 'Why?‘ llu.

He read a. letter from Mercer G.

trunking Heflln for his speech con.
damning the Fall-Doheny verdict as

Captain Edmund F. Preece has
recéived instruction; from regi-
mental headquarters that the reg-
ular drill periods of Dec. 21 and Jan.
10 are to be devoted to instruction-
al moving pictures. During the
regular drill hours from s to 0:80
will' be demonstrations by West
Point cadets of the correct way to
do things. The first date will con-
sist mostly'wlth the school of the

second date will dealfi'ith artillery.
After each drillthere will be shown
films of a more technical nature
especially for the omcers, non-com-
missioned officers and members of
the instrument and signal details. A
lunch will be served for members
of the Battery and Combat Train
