Jan. 28.—Gaston B. Means, identified today a statement bearing his 'signature in which he admitted he had contrived the disappearance of docu ments which he previously had submit ted to the Wheeler-Brookhart senatorial committee, during its investigation of the department of justice last year. The statement, which, after its iden tification by Means, was admitted into evidence in the trial of Means, and Thomas It. Felder, charged with conspir acy to bribe high government officials, says I hat Means had helped W. O. (Ducky) Duckstein and his wife, of Washington. D. to frame their sub sequent testimony before the committee in explanation of the disappearance of the documents. The statement, as read by the jury to day, was dated September 20, 1024. It follows: “It was suggested that the papers, files and documents that I had presented to the committee shpuld disappear and for the purpose of devising a plan for their disappearance nqd the consummation of this plan I called into conference Mr. and Mrs. IV. O. Duckstein. After thoroughly dis cussing it. it was agreed t|igt they ap pear as witnesses before the Wheeler- Brookhart committee and in accordance with this agreement they appeared ami -testified. "Mr. IV. O. Duckstein in a confer ence last night stated lie would make out a written report of his entire connection with the matter. “I desire to state, and my statement will be confirmed by the written state ment of Mr. IV. O. Duckstein. that , neither Hiram U. Todd, special assistant 1 j attorney general or any other agent of j ilje government had anything to do with ! the disappearance of these patters, files or I documents." Over the objection of defense counsel,! Means said the statenient substantially was correct and added: "I never testified that my diaries had ; been stolen." Felder in his brief re-appearanee on the stand today, denied that he ever had promised to have indictments quashed in a federal case against “Gessler, et al." He admitted he had promised to go to Washington to have the case then pend ing in the southern New York district, brought to trial here- . Tile case re cently was slated for disposal in the Pittsburgh jurisdiction. .. .j RILL MAXWELL FOUND GUILTY Charged With Second Degree Murder for Killing Calvin Freeman. The Statesville Daily of Wednesday has the following which will be of inter est here, as Freeman was a Concord ne gro: “Bill Maxwell, colored, was tried op a cljarge of second degree murder for tiie killing of Calvin Freeman, also colored. The jury found him guilty of manslaugh ter. He was sentenced to 12 months oil the roads or. if he can give $4(1(1 bond to insure his staying there, he will he assign ed to work at the county home. ‘‘This is the ease in which Freeman disappeared, December 20. and his body was found in a ditch in south Statesville tl)e next day. Maxwell claimed that Freeman fell off the truck which Max well was driving and met death this way. It was alleged that Freeman's money had been taken from his pocket by Max well. Freeman did fall off the truck and was put on by some one. with instruc tions to Maxwell to take him to a hos pital. Instead lie took his body to the ditch, claiming lie discovered lie was dead before reachiug the hospital and was afraid to deliver him there." Wants Poultry' Association for County. JJr. Editor: The wroter was very glad to read in the news item of yesterday's Tribune, that ■ considerable interest has been shown re-1 cently in the organization of a Poultry j Association for this county. Such an organization is very much | tifcdcd in Cabarrus County, mid would I assist greatly in encouraging tin l raising | of more and better poultry. Quite a ntimber pf breeders of pure-! bred poultry in the city and county would! gladly, welcome such au organization.; Once the ball starts roiling, others will be convinced that a flock of pure-bred. j pedigreed g)r<ls are superior in every way to the mongrel Shanghai of half a century ago. Can we not hear from some of our en-' tlpisiastie poultry breeders on this sub ject? get together and organize. There could be no more suitable time than ! the present—the very beginning of the 1 1925 breeding season. What-do you sav? PARIS KIDD.' “Working Olrl” Makes a Suggestion. Mr. Editor: As I came to my work this morning it was such a pleasure to find the sleet and ice gone from the pavement in front of many of our best business firms. Tlip thought came to me how nice it would' be if our beloved town would do t||is for us on all the streets. It would not cost much and it would certainly be a great help to those of us who do not “drive a car.” If some one were to fall and break a Jiuih on the sleety pavement, all would be convinced of the necessity for such work. Why not “do it first.”' WORKING GIRL. Houses in Bulgaria are designed no as to hiernl with the landscape; in fact, they are often indistinguishable from it.

Harry M. Daugherty offered yester ; day to tell the entire story of the up ‘ heaval at Washington at a time when, :he said, "certain people were “hell . bound.” and certain others were "spell bound.” He said be wanted to do this 1 for the public good and “it is time the, j I truth about some things ought to be ; told-” But Mr. Daugherty, called as a wit- ! ! ness for the defense in the trial of i ' Thomas B. Felder and Gaston B. Means ■ for conspiracy to bribe Government of- I ; fieials. including himself, was not al- j j lowed by Fedora! Judge Bindley to tell ; 1 his story The Court ruled that most of ■ the story would be irrelevant. 'Throughout his examination ot a lit- | ■tie more than an hour. Mr. Daugherty, ] who had gone to thU'trial with William 1 J, Bums, his former aide, was smiling ] and bland. He even smiled when asked by counsel j for Felder if au.v bribe had ever been of- j sered him to affect his actions in the ; Glass Casket ease, out of which the present conspiracy trial grew. Has a Good Laugh. Mr. Daugherty laughed broadly when i asked if he 'had ever told Means there j was a shortage in the Republican earn- j puign fund and another deficit expected ! for (he last campaign, on which account. J “he, Andrew W. Mellon and Mums” j would share in the $65,000 to be collect- j od from the Glass Casket defendants, j But Mr. Daugherty was serious on oc- ; fusions, as when asked regarding Mr. j Folder’s reputation for honesty. Apologizing for the “little liberty” j and remarking that, “considering what ! we have gone through with in this conn- j try in tile past three or four years J especially." he hoped his answer was j within reasonable bounds. Mr. Daugh- j frf.v said lie could testify to the reputa- ■ tion for integrity and honesty of “hard- ■ ly' any man —especially if ho holds high ! public position.” Mr. Daugherty grew even more ser- ■ io|ts as lie added that the higher and j more efficient a mail is, the more sub- I jept he is to attack. He continued: ; “And I could not testify that I would | have anything like a good reputation when I get home tho day after tomor r<fw. until I read the newspapers in the morning, at any rate." All Right in the Past. But Mr. Daugherty said he could testify to Mr. Felder's reputation for honesty and integrity before rne "three on four year" period. j Although defendants in the Glass Casket case in which Fc'der is alleged ' to Imve taken a fee of $45,000 for “fix -1 ing' purposes, plus other moneys al li'gfd to have gone to Means, have testi -1 cd flint when they went to Washington. they saw Means with his feet on Burn's ’ desk—Mr. Daugherty said he had talked tq Means only once. He said: “I sent for him ow'e in the presence of others and had a talk with him. not in connection with this rttse.” Mr. Daugherty failed to recall even if Means was employed under Burns in September. 1022, but did remember ripg Means at one time. Then, ho said, oq urgent request of his assistant. Mr. Crim and Rurnss re-employed him in a “Certain matter.” Questions Mr. Daugherty was not al lowed to answer iuelttded one as to whether be had ever to'd Means that $165,000 instead of the $05,000 should j have been eolleeted from the Glass ; Casket defendants. Mr. Daugherty asked if be had cm- j ployed Hiram C. Todd as sperial pros- : eeptor in tiie casket ease and to investi- ; . gi|te tint Vriminal aetivities” of Means, j said he' thought so—'that “the records | will show." As Mr. Daugherty departed he shook j hands with Judge Bindley and nodded j to Col. Felder. He refused to relate to I reporters the disallowed story of Wash- j ington. Preliminary Contests Next Sunday, j More of the preliminary contests in I tlje Bible story contest will be held on ! next Sunday, at which time at least ' four of the churches will have their first try-outs. fTbe contest this year is attracting a gregter interest than it has heretofore. The big reason for this increased in terest is the fact that the prizes are I lqiger and offer a greater incentive for hard work on the part of thy children trying for them. Tha trip to Europe pi itself is sufficient to bring a large i (lumber of 16 to 10 \ n r children into j the contest. In addition to this, the trip to Washington and the medals and j enps are attracting the younger boys and ! Kir's. | Tiie public is invited to attend the cmi -1 tests, both preliminary and finals. The j'Ohurcbes at which the initial contest is I to be held next Sunday are McKinnon I Presbyterian at 11 o'clock, Epworth | Methodist and Kerr Street Methodist at 17 o'clock and St. James Lutheran in the afternoon. | \ *- j Death of William B.
