MEANS DENIES ALL U. 8.
EVIDENCE OF ALLEGED BRIBERY
Former Federal Special Agent, Fits*
Witness in His Own Defense. Enjoys
Day on the Stand.
New York World. 22m1.
Gaston B. Means, veteran occupant of
many a trial court and senatorial invest- j
tigation witness stand, again trundled i
into the very center of the limelight's I
glare in Federal District Court yeiiter-1
day, and there passed, it seemed, a
thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.
lie was testifying as the defense’s first!
witness in the trial of himself and
Thomas B. Felder, New York lawyer, on
charges of conspiracy to bribe former At->
toruey General Dngberty, United States 1
Attorney Hayward and other officials of
the department of justice of which Means 1
was once a special agent.
The testimony of the defendant wit
ness-. under direct examination by his
counsel. Abraham I. Menin, was a cate-1
goricnl denial of every wisp of evidence'
previously offered by witnesses for the
prosecution connecting him in even the!
remotest degree with the alleged plot. I
Cross-examination by Special Prose
cutor Hiram C. Todd was wo delayed by j
argument and verbal fencing that few
questious and replies actually got into,
the record.
Means, smiling oratorical, responded to'
Mr. Menin's questions as though each
word were rolled and relished* on his
tongue before utterance. ,
He denied, among many other things,
that he ever represented himself as able l
to bribe anyone, "either with money or
friendship, sir;” that he had any com
munication with Felder during the al- -
leged conspiracy negotiations in the fall |
of 1922: that he had any kcuwledge. '
until after it was paid, of the $65,000
"slush fund" it is charged lie and Fel
der induced the Glass'Casket mail fraud
defendants to raise, and that he never
told anybody Daugherty, William J.
Burns and Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon ,could be "fixed.” .
His contest with Mr. Todd, who last
summer obtained Means’ conviction and
subsequent sentence to two years in At- j
lauta on charges of conspiracy to violate
the prohibition law, seemed to afford the
witness even more enjoyment, however. \
His deep-dimpled smile frequently •
spread into a wide laugh at the prose- j
eutor’s efforts to elicit direct replies to j
his questions, and more than once the
witness thrust at his opponent with a j
few words added beyond the scope of |
(lie query.
Asked if he had any records that
would show the extent of his dealings
in 1922 with Elmer W. Jarnecke, at that
rime in Means' employ and now after
pleading guilty of the same charge, the
government's chief witness against him,
the witness replied:
”1 have very many such records, but
they are all at my home in Concord. N. j
"Have you none with you?” persisted |
Mr. Tood, ‘"none of those little black |
diaries of which you are so fond ?"
“Only this one," responded Means,
taking a small black note book from his !
pocket.
“What period does that cover?” lie j
was asked.
"This is very interesting, some of the I
stuff in this little book." Means replied, j
fondly thumbling the pages of the-volume.
"It begins about the time you stopped
trying the other case.’’
And again, in reply to the question
whether Jarnecke had turned over to
Means any money he collected when in
the latter’s employ :
“Any money, any money at all. paid
to him to get liquor permits, lie was
instructed to turn over to me,” the wit
ness sonorously said leaning forward and
emphasizing his remarks with nods of
his massive head . “I'm glad. I'm cer
tainly glad. Mr. Todd, you called my at
tention to the question. I wanted to
get that out.”
Resting of the government’s ease at
noon was follower! by motions to dis*
miss the indictmeut against Felder on
the grounds the charges liad not been
proved, all, of which, after listening to
argument by counsel, Judge Li nil ley de
nied.
Cross-exam ina I ion of Means will be
resumed at 10:30 o'clock this morning.
