Washington, Feb. 7. —If the gov ernment has evidence that any part of the money embezzled by John F. Gaynor and Benjamin D. Greene!, in complicity with Captain Oberlin M. Carter, in the Savannah harbor frauds, is secreted, there is no indi cation that the department of justice will show its hand to the prisoners applying for release from the Atlan ta penitentiary. Gaynor and Greene have served their four-year sentence, but are be ing held for a §575,000 fine. Un der the law they must remain in jail until the fine is paid, or take the pauper’s oath and swear that neither has more than §2O above the exemptions allowed by statute. A confinement of thirty days after the expiration of the sentence, how ever, must precede such a move. Both Gaynor and Greene today began serving the thirty-day period. If thereafter they wish to take the pauper’s oath a hearing will be set before a Uuited States commissioner, at which the government will bo represented. If the attorney gen eral has any trace of the money which disappeared after the embez zlement, it will be shown then. A compromise on the amount of the fine, it was said at the depart ment today, would be authorized by law and without precedent.
