MEANS ADMITS WRITING PAPER
Confesses Conspiring to Laee Court Doc
, ument— Says He Contrived to Have
Evidence in Wheeler-Brookhart Inves
tigation Disappear.
New York. 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.”'

NOT 80 EAGER TO SPEAK
TO NEWSPAPER WRITERS
Soma Men ‘Hell-Bound.'
: New York World, 28th.
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.
