Clad ia a neat business suit lie emerged from the prison gate with a firm step In marked contrast to his entry. Rigorous application to his profe.lon of civil engineer in Ktirvuylng penitentiary property and even in wielding a hammer and a saw in construction work, apparently has restored lilni to the health he enjoyed in a long army rnreer. He paused only long enough to m teaue a long statement on his plans lor the future before entering an lutomohlle with a newspaper man of St. Louis. They left immediately for that city. His statement, dealing' largely with recommendations for hand ling prisoners in various types of penal institutions, concluded with the announcement he had "start ling facts to reveal" relative to his connection with the Harding, ad ministration. In conclusion the statement said: "In the light of the erroneous impression the public has been given or President Harding, I shall have some interesting facts to re veul, facts which will put to shame a lot of sycophants and calumni ators whose chief' purpose scums to bo the destruction of the good character of one of the noblest men It has been my privilege to know. To Prove Falsity .-', "My personal and Intimate asso ciation with Warren O. Harding has placed me in a position to prove the falsity of much that has been furnished the public, and this . shall be the most important mis 7 s Jon of my life. "Couli he (Harding) defend himself, the American public would have a much different Tlh pression about some of the Im portant happenings of his admin istration. He was a man who loved his friends, victimized through his belief in the fundamental honesty of men in high public office. "Some of the facts I shall reveal will be no less startling and sen sational than many of the charged made." y. "(Signed) Charles R. Forbes."
