OIL PHDBERS PUN
TO FORCE FILL TO
GIVE HIS TESTIMONY
Former Secretary to Face
Contempt Charge Unless
He Answers Questions of
Committee
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—Albert
B. Fall declined today to testify
further before the senate oil com
mittee which seeks more light on
the unpaid loans aggregating sl-5,-
000 made to him by E. L. Doheny
and Harry F. Sinclair, whose oil
companies obtained leases of naval
oil reserves from him while he was
secretary of the interior.
Haled to the capitol over the pro
tests of his physicians and counsel.
Mr. Fall, in a prepared statement,
challenged the authority of the com
> jnittee to continue the investiga-
and refused to answer ques-
on tne further ground that
jßwis responses might tend to incrima-
* rate him in court proceedings au
thorized by congress in the VValsn
annulment resolution. Want of au
thority by the committee to proceed
further with the inquiry was based
upon two grounds —that the original
resolutions of the senate provided
for the holding of hearings only un
til the convening of this congress
and that congress in adopting tne
Walsh resolution had taken the
matter out of the hands of the com-
;■ mittee and placed it in the courts.
Voting to obtain a new grant of
authority from the senate n ® xt
Monday, the committee directed Mr.
Fall to appear again next Tuesday.
Shou’d he persist in his refusal to
testify at that time senators said
* the issue of contempt would be
clearly drawn. Under the law and
precedents he could be he.d in con
tempt and the fact certified to the
president of the senate who would
submit the matter to the district at
torney of the District of Columbia
whose duty it would be to bring the
matter before the grand jury for
their action.
Upon indictment and conviction,
Mr. Fall would be liable to, imprison
ment in “a common jail” for not
less than one month nor more than
.twelve months and a fine of not less
than SIOO and not more than SI,OOO.
Still another course would be
open, that of impeachment by the
house and trial by the senate on
7 the basis of his official acts. In the
' of W. W. Belknap, secretary of
war in the Grant administration,
both the house and senate held that
impeachment proceedings would lie
even after a cabinet officer had re
tired from office. Impeachment
proceedings were not pressed in the
Belknap case, however.
Coming by automobile from the
home of J. W. Zevely, personal at
torney to Harry F. Sinclair, where
he has been confined to his bed
since his arrival here from New
Orleans ten days ago, Mr. Fall
reached the committee room prompt
ly at 10 a. m., the hour named in
the new subpoena issued for him
yesterday after the committee's
medical commission had reported he
was able to appear for examination
The committee was late in assem
bling. but not so the spectators. The
big healing room was packed and
as the former secretary appeared in
an ante-room there was a general
J craning of necks to gee a view of
lhe man who has become the central
figure in the most sensational con
gressional investigation certainly in
recent years. Mr. Fall was made
comfortable in a chair after he hau
removed his hat and coat.
The wait was brief. Bed by Chair
man Lenroot the 10 members of the
committee made their way through
the crowds to their seats around the
big mahogany table. Mr. Fall fol
' lowed, accompanied by his counsel,
Devi Cooke; his physician, Dr. John
Wharton, and a friend.
The crowd, in which were num
bered many senators and representa
tives, gave way slowly in the nar
row passageway to the witness chair.
To outward appearances, at least,
Mr. Fall was not the broken man he
has been pictured. He walked stead
ily, without assistance and without
the use of a. cane. His face was
rather pale following his long con-
M tinement in bed, but there were few
B JfeLus of nervousness.
Mr. Fall had scaled himself
in the witness chair across the table
from his inquisitors, some of his
former colleagues in the senate, his
counsel said that he desired to make
a brief statement. He announced
that Mr. Fall “was ready for the
hearing,” but reminded the com
mittee that he still was under the
, advice of his own physicians, and
urged that the senators remember
•‘what he is advised as to hie phys
ical condition.”
: "Mr. Fall, will you please be
sworn,” said Chairman Lenroot.
The former secretary arose and
. held his right hand high as the cus
s tomary oath was administered. As
he settled back in his chair, this
question was put by Senator Walsh,
Democrat, Montara:
"Senator Fall, do you care to make
any further statement about mat
' - ters under copsideration by the com
mittee?”
Unfolding a typewritten manu
' script, the witness announced in a
clear and firm voice that he de
clined to answer. There was a
visible stir among the. spectators,
- who had expected this session of the
committee to furnish a climax to the
1 long months of hearing.
Still in a clear voice wliich carried
well around the big room, the one
time cabinet officer unfolded the rea-
I sons why he would not subject him
; self to further examination by the
committee.
The reading at an end, Chair-
- man Lenroot announced that the
committee would go into executive
session and the room would be clear
ed.
"Mr. Fall, you may retire tn an
other room.” said the chairman.

MRS. ONEZIMA DEBOUCHEL’S
LETTERS TO ASA G. CANDLER
Counsel for Asa G. Candler intro- I
duced a number of letter to him
from Mrs. Onezima Deßouchel as
evidence t osustain their contention
that the plaintiff in the breach of
promise case had designed to entrap
the aged millionaire into marriage.
Here follow three of the letters pre
sented :
Husband's Anger Feared
The sixth letter read was mailed i
from Reno, Nev., September 11,
1921. It follows:
"Sunday.
"My darling: Again I am enclos- ,
ing a telegram which is self-explan
atory, bufc rest assured I shall pay
no attention to it beyond instructing
my lawyer to answer it negatively.
To enter into another phase of the
situation would mean more delay
and now that I have become quite
resigned to accepting a default de
cree with all of its dangers, I am
determined to see the thing through
that way.
To be fairly familiar with the dis
advantages of the particular kind
of divorce I am going to have, I have
asked my lawyer for a written opin
ion and I am mailing it to you under
separate cover. Read it carefully,
dear, ’forewarned is forearmed,’ and
I believe in preparedness, don’t you?
“After an exhaustive perusal of
the document. I think you will agree
with me that it would not be safe for
us to marry within six months of
my divorce as the chances are that
Mr. R. would be so furious and vin
dicitive that if we married sooner, he
would sue you for alienation of my
affections and perhaps me for
bigamy. ~ ‘
“Knowing him as I do, I know it
would be better to let his rage sub
side and cool off. Besides, the court
might think he had grounds if we
married immediately or within too
short a time for a long distance
courtship covering a period of six
or seven months would scarcely be
considered adequate.
“However, six months after would
be quite a different thing, and would
give us ground to stand on, because
six months is ample time to jneet,
get acquainted, fall in iove, become
engaged and get married.
“But I have a consolation to offer.
We could be secretly married in Los
Angeles in October after the conven
tion and not announce it until I en
ter your home as your bride in the
spring.
Wants Wedding in West
“Sanitarium, Calif., November 21,
1921 (Sunday).
“My darling: "Because yesterday
was the ‘Sabbath’ your charming
letter dated November 14th was de
livered only this morning and 1
hastened to answer it ‘just as soon
as it arrived.’ No dear, it will not
be necessary to reside in a western
state. Only married, and then I can
go wherever I please. The state of
Nevada would be preferable because
that is whree I have established my
residence -and in case of trouble the
state law's would uphold t me. Being
married there would be a strong link
in the chain of evidence of bona fide
citizenship. But not necessarily
Reno. Minden, Tonapah, or any
part of the state, would do as well.
Also a license can be obtained in
Reno and the ceremony performed
in some western state. However, all
of that can be discussed when we
meet next month. We will have a
great deal to talk about, won’t we?
Operations and plans for the fu
ture! The former not one-tenth as
pleasant as the latter and yet evi
dently very necessary.
“No dear, the adventists have not
converted me yet, nor is it likely
that they will as their religion is
too narrow for me. They don't be
lieve in any diversions whatever,
and they seem to be happy only
mer secretary asked.
“If you please.”
“In any particular place?”
“No, so that you may be within
call.”
While the crowd was making its
slow egress through the main doors.
Mr. Fall returned to the ante-room.
It was five minutes before the room
could be cleared and the committee
take under consideration behind
closed doors the unexpected develop
ment in the proceedings.
The disappointed spectators took
up places outside, crowding the cor
ridors in three directions. Suddenly
the door to the ante-room was open
ed and Mr. Fall appeared, assisted
by friends. He made his way rather
laboriously down a corridor to the
office of Senator Elkins, of West
Virginia, where be reclined on a
couch to await further word from
the committee.
Crowd Is Disappointed
Although the executive session
dragged on for an hour, those who
had come in search of further sen
sations stuck to their posts, only to
be disappointed again by an an
nouncement that the committee had
adjourned until next Tuesday at 10
a. m. Mr. Fall was apprised of
the decision of the committee to re
call him at that hour and he left
the building, returning to the Zevely
home.
Later In the day his counsel called
on Chairman Lenroot with a re
quest that the former secretary be
permitted to go to some nearby
place over the weekend to rest and
recuperate. Mr. Cooke was inform
ed that Mr. Fall would be required
to be present next Tuesday and on
the basis of this information
were made for the former secretary
i to spend the intervening two days
i in a near-by suburb.
| In its executive investigations of
Mr. Fall’s statement there was some
talk of contempt proceedings, but
in the main the committee addressed
itself to the rather unexpected chal
i lenge of its authority to go forward
■ on the ground that the original an
i thority called for hearings only un
; til the new congress assembled.
Finally Senator Walsh made a
1 motion, which prevailed, that the
i committee ask the senate to readopt
; the original resolutions providing
I for the investigation, thus with its
authority reaffirmed after the adop
| tion of the Walsh annulment reso
lution, the committee will again give
Mr. Fall opportunity to make any
I statement he may desire and to sub
! mit himself for examination. Should

“October 10.
"My Darling: Before leaving San
Francisco I wrote you a letter and
in the hurry of departure forgot to
mail it. lam hoping that the maid
had sense enough to do so. but in
case she did not, I will repeat here
what I said there. Nothing of great
importance, except that w’hile I
quite approve of the plan of your
dream for our tour, I must remind
you we must start in the west as
the District of Columbia does not
recognize a default decree any more
than the eastern and southern
states do. • New York, for instance,
is particularly antagonistic.
So, dearest, to make everything
legal and beautiful, we must be mar
ried in the west, preferably in the
state of Nevada. But we can get
our license there ana have the cer
emony performed elsewhere.
Well, we have plenty of time to
arrange those matters and can talk
it over when we meet, which at
present is the most important thing
before us. In one of your charming
letters you say tha tyou are anxious
to see me as soon as possible. Well,
I shall be in San Francisco again
December first, where I will await
your arrival. Here is my sugges
tion U
"Suppose you -leave Atlanta a few
days after Thanksgiving, the twen
ty-sixth or twenty-seventh, and meet
me there, remaining as long as your
business will permit and returning
in time for Christmas in Atlanta.
Os coufse, I would love to have you
spend the holidays with me, but I
know that- at that time the bank
ing interests will n.eed you in At
lanta.
“I am anxious- to see you for
many reasons, apart from the de
light of being wi’h you. I need you’’
advice. My health is not very good
and the doctor told me today that
I would have to have my tonsils re
moved. I would not care to have
the operation performed here, and
I wonder if through your business
friends you could inquire about a
good surgeon? That is why I nad
influenza and I am apt to have it
constantly until my tonsils are re
moved. So out they go, but not
until December after I have seen
you. as I do not w'ant to be ill while
vou are here, and I would scarcely
have time to have it done between
the time you send me the surgeon’s
name and the time you arrive. So
au revoir, precious one, I am im
patiently awaiting your reply to this
letter telling me when I shall have
the pleasure of seeing you.

he refuse the committee then will
take up the question of contempt.
Precedents Are Cited
As to Mr. Tail’s contention that
his testimony might tend to incrim
inate him in any possible future
court proceedings, senators called
attention to section 859 of the re
vised statutes, which says:
“No testimony given by a witness
before either house or before any
committee of either house of con
gress shall be used as evidence in
any criminal proceedings against
him in any case except the prosecu
tion for perjury committed in giv
ing such testimony. But an official
paper or record produced by him is
not within the sa’d privilege.”
Two outstanding precedents for
court action for contempt of a house
of congress were cited. The most
recent was that of H. Snowden Mar
shall, former federal district attor
ney at. New York city. This was
in 1916 at a. time when a commit
tee of the house was taking testi
mony in an Impeachment hearing
against Mr. Marshall. The attorney
wrote a letter to the committee re
garding the hearings which the
house held to place him in contempt
and a warrant for his arrest was
issued and the case certified to the
courts in New York for action.
| An early contempt proceeding be
fore the senate was that against
William Duane, editor of th6 Phila
delphia General Advertiser, in 1800,
as a result of an article published
in that paper regarding senate pro-
I ceedmgs, which the senale held to
Ibe "false, defamatory, scandalous
! and malicious.” Mr. Duane was cit
j ed before the bar of the senate, but
i failed tp appear, pnd Thomas Jeffer-
I son, as president of the senate, sign
led a warrant for his arrest. The
case was remanded to the courts at
i Philadelphia, where congress then

FOES OF DAUGHERTY
FORCE HIM TO STICK
TO POST IN CABINET
BY ROBERT T. SMALL
(Copyright, 1921, by the Consolidated Press
Association —Special Leased Wire
to The Atlanta Journal.)
MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Feb. 2.
Attorney General Harry M. Daugh
erty is a tired man. There is a gen
eral belief among his friends down
here that he would like to retire
from the cabinet but his "enemies”
won't let him. In other words, Mr.
Daugherty has made it plain time
and time again that he will not quit
public office under fire and just
now he realizes that the bombard
ment against him is at its heaviest.
Nothing short of a request from
President Coolidge would cause the
attorney general to resign at this
time and he has been assured there
will be no such request as a result
of the bitter partisan debate which
has sprung up in the United States
senate. A s a matter of fact since
he has been down here, Mr. Daugh
erty is said to have received a tele
gram of congratulations from Mr.
Coolidge on his birthday anniver
sary.
It is no new experience to Harry
Daugherty to be the butt of political
attack. He has had a fight on his
hands ever since he first went into
political life. He has made many
staunch friends and many unrelent
ing enemies. Some of the latter
have been lifelong foes. There never
has been a period of truce with them.
From them, Harry Daugherty has
asked no quarter. He has been con
tent to stand up and fight it out.
He does not deny that in the “maul
ing” he has got some awful wollops
but he has always been able to
come back for more and to give
punishment as well as take it.
Harding’s Death Kept Him
On account of his health and
the small financial return of a cab
inet officer there is every reason
to believe that if President Harding
had lived Mr. Daugherty might have
been out of the cabinet by now. He
would have liked to have gone out
in the field again and managed the
campaign for the re-nomination and
possible re-election of his best be
lo.ved friend. More than once Mr.
Daugherty has declared that the.
friendship qf Warren G. Harding
had offset the “hate” of all his ene
mies. With the death of President
Harding and the accession of Presi
dent Coolidge the anti<Daugherty
forces immediately predicted that the
attorney general would retire. There
were intimations that Mr. Coolidge
might not desire to retain Mr. Daugh
erty because of the attacks which
had marked his stay in office under
Mr. Harding.
Mr. Coolidge, better than any one
else, knew the esteem in which the
late, president held Mr. Daugherty
and he felt that it would be. savor
ing of "disloyalty” if he should make
such an exception in the retention
of the Harding official family.
Furthermore, Mr. Coolidge as an
active member of the cabinet had
come in constant contact with the
attorney general and a feeling of
mutual esteem had grown up be
tween them. Mr. Coolidge and Mr.
Daugherty were thrown together so
cially, too, far more than the out
side world realized.
Professional Pride
Therefore, when Mr. Daugherty
was invited to remain in the cabinet
he felt impeled to accept. If he
had resigned, as he had the impulse
to do, Mr. Daugherty knew it would
forever be claimed that he had been
forced out. Furthermore he had a
professional pride in what he had
done under Mr. Harding and he want
ed to demonstrate, that his services
would be just as acceptable to a
new president.
The intimate friends of Mr. Daugh
erty know that, he has given the
very best that is in him to his du
ties at the department of justice.
Realizing that he was getting pretty
well along toward the allotted span
of human life, and conscious of the
fact that his health was gradually
giving away under the strain of an
exceptionally strenuous existence,
Harry Daugherty has wanted his
work in the department of justice
to stand as his monument in the
years to come. His friends say he
has done his duty, as the light was
given him to see that duty and with
all the strength that was in him.
Although for more than a year
the attorney general has been a
sick man. his political enemies have
maneuvered him into, a position
where he can not lay down his pub
lic work. He feels he must go on
now to the finish.
Remains Unmoved
Mr. Daugherty insists that ho is
not the least bit worried by the turn
of events in Washington. He felt
from the beginning that an investi
gation of a fellow cabinet officer
should not be placed in his hands.
He felt, it would be better for the
administration and better for him
self that special counsel should be
provided.
Whether the administration foes
in congress will be content with
pressing the resolution aimed at Sec
retary of the Kavy Denby or wheth
er they will feel called upon, on gen
erdl principles, to press a similar re
quest for resignation against the at
torney general, the friends of the lat
ter can not say. They have been
assured, however, that President
Coolidge will not act upon political
pressure at once. He would not ask
for a cabinet resignation unless and
until independent evidence was
brought to his attention connecting
the officers in question with trans
actions which he would have to be
lieve had some' tinge of corruption
in them.
Meantime those who have talked
with the attorney general since he
has been down here say he is tak
ing life philosphically. It seems
that when he was a little boy and
the circus came to town. Harry
Daugherty, along with the other
boys, used to try to get as close
as possible to the elephant and give
him a surreptitious kick as he went
by. All the boys took a similar
kick at the poor old pachyderm.
Today, Harry Daugherty says he
knows how the elephant felt.

PRISON TUNNELER SAYS DIRT
REMOVED BUCKETFUL AT TIME
AND PLACED ON FLOWER BEDS
Fugitive Caught in Baltimore
Tells How He Played Ped
dler Here for Week After
Escape
BALTIMORE, Md., Feb. 2.—The I
first story of how he and three con- j
federates dug the 40-foot tunnel by >
which they escaped from the Atlanta i
federal penitentiary bn December ;
30 was related here today by Hiram
Lepper, the fifty-seven-year-old
convict, who is held by local police
charged with passing counterfeit S2O ;
bills. «
Lepper escaped with Ludwig ,
Schmidt and George Anderson, I
serving long terms for complicity {
in the million-dollar mail robbery at I
Toledo, Ohio, and Frank Haynes, al
leged counterfeiter, none of whom ;
have been recaptured. He declared
that he originated the idea of es- :
caping and did most of the work in
digging the tunnel.
Lepper told the police that he be- ,
gan work in September, 1923, and '
dug every night until the escape
was accomplished. The dirt, ex- '
cavated a bucketful at a time, was |
taken from the tunnel and placed i
around flower beds while the guards ■
watched, he said. The break for |
liberty was made at noon on Decern- :
her 30, while the other prisoners .
were at lunch.
Lepper said that he and Haynes, I
who is described as a dope addict,
hung around Atlanta for more than
a week after the escape, begging
money on the streets and selling 1
cheap rings to negroes. He said that j
the rings were purchased in Atlanta |
five and ten-cent stores and resold !
to negroes for $1 each.
The position from which Lepper
began to dig the tunnel was fourteen
feet from the prison wall, he said,
and was located under the tent in
which he was quartered because he
had developed tuberculosis. He first
dug a pit ten feet deep, and then be- I
gan to tunnel towards the wall, cov- I
ering the opening when prison
guards made their inspections.
Haynes, he said, helped him in the i
work, hut gave constant trouble, and I
he had to feed him dope. He said I

j that dope was easier to get in the
, Atlanta penitentiary than in Balti
more. His tools—a pick and shovel —
were kept sharp by Schmidt and An
derson, who worked in the prison
| machine shop.
Lepper said he decided to escape
after he had been refused five years’
j deduction for good behavior because
of alleged violation of prison rules.
He said he came to Baltimore Wed
nesday. Police picked him up after
they had been notified to watch out
for a man who was depositing $2
* with rooming house proprietors and
j getting change for a bill, apparent
ily of a S2O denomination, but which
l police say was asl bill, crudely
raised to the higher denomination.
; He has confessed, according Ao the
! police, and says he has worked the
same game in Norfolk, Richmond
land Washington.
“circumstantial evidence —the most
treacherous of all evidence,” R. A.
Hendricks, of Nashville, chief coun
sel for the alleged double-slayer,
has issued a public statement in be
half of his client, who is seeking a
new trial.
After reviewing what he says was
the sworn testimony in the case,
Mr. Hendricks declared that the
prosecution failed to show any pos
sible motive on the part of the aged
farmer in the killing of his son-in
law and the latter’s father. On the
contrary, he declares, the trial de
i veloped the fact that the three men
were on the most cordial and- friend
lly terms. They had been together
I the day before and the McGills had
| spent that night at Rogers’ home,
Mr. Hendricks stated.
GRAY HAIR IS
QUICKLY DARKENED
Makes One Look Twenty Years
Younger
Men and women who used to be
called grandpa and grandma are
now setting the styles by darkening
| their gray hair with a simple home
mixture.
For instance, J. A. McCrea, a well
-1 known Californian, recently made
the following statement:
“Anyone can prepare a simple mix
ture in five minutes, that will darken
' gray hair, and make it soft and
glossy. Merely take a half-pint of
water, add 1 ounce of bay rum. a
small box of Barbo Compound, 1-4
1 ounce of glycerine.
“These ingredients can be bought
at any drug store at trifling cost.
Apply to the hair twice weekly with
i comb. It does not color the scalp,
is not sticky or greasy and will not
rub off.” —(Advertisement.)
