MESSAGE SENT TO

Reply
Hade to Letter Re
ceived From Former At
torney General
NEW YORK, Sept.' 25. The
real enemies of the constitution
Are not the reds and bolshevlsts,
but 'corrupt and Impotent public
officials and their associates,
John W. Davis, the - democratic
presidential nominee declares In
. a letter written today to Harry
M. Daugherty, in reply tQ the one
Bent toi him recently by the for
mer attorney general.
Expressing the belief that' the
real work of this campaign is the
arousing of the moral sense of
the American people "to condemn
and not to condone the betrayal
of official trust," Mr. Dayis wrote
Mr. : Daugherty that "this Issue
cannot be obscured by your forced
effort to represent the real con
test of: this campaign as one be
tween the defenders of the consti
tution and those who seek to over
throw it and leaders fresh from a
baptism of bolshevism in lurid
and suffering Russia.
Declares for Honesty
'If the constitution Is to en
dure," Mr. Davis added, "the first
requisite is that men who hold
office under it shall be honest and
faithful to their trust." -- "
i Denying Mr. Daugherty's state
ment that his alusions to the for
mer attorney general during the
campaign had been "quite veiled,'
Mr. Davis said - they - had been
"both direct and specif IcT. He
added that he had found "no wax-
rant whatever" tot withdrawing I
any. single one of them and then I
proceeded to elaborate on them I
In blunt fashion. j
- ' Plea Brushed Aside
Brushing aside Mr. Daugherty's
statement that bis "self respect" 1
debarred him from appearing be -
fore the senate Investigating com
mittee because of the malice ex
hibited towards him by It, Mr.
Davis said that It seemed to him
that under the circumstances the
malice: of the committee and . the
falsity would rather increase thi
diminish the natural desire of any
man, much less an attorney geujb
ral of. the United States to meet
his accusers on their own ground."
"I confess that your failure to
do- so,," Mr. Davis wrote, "as well
as the refusal of your brother to
furnish information demanded of
him la return, produced on me,
and I think upon, the country, an
exceedingly painful impression." j
"Insofar as the man Gaston B.
Means! is concerned," the letter
continued, "I have read the re
pudiation of his former testimony
which; you enclosed In your letter,
I observe that since your letter
was delivered to me he has once
more recanted and repudiated his
repudiation. : It was youj,
however, who appointed him to
a confidential position in the de
partment of Justice."
"You brought him Into the cir
cle of your own Intimates," Mr.
Davis said. you created him a
: government agent. You gave him
his credentials. At the time you
did so his character was already i
not good. . 1 can Imagine no mal
administration m any governmen
tal department more vicious than
the employment of men oL-8Uh
character." tjj

council of the league of nations
and scores of other delighted del

corridors of the league palace and
discussed the big news from Ber

PLOT
Mrs. Elsie Sweetin Breaks
Down and Confesses to
Poisoning Husband
.MOUNT VERNOMi Ills., Sept
23. With confessions of their
poison plot romance-in the hands
of State's Attorney Thompson,
the Rev. Lawrence M. Ilight and
Mrs.' Elsie Sweetin . were taken
from Mount Vernon jail tonight
and placed in jails ' at Nashville
and Salem respectively. Not eo
much the fears of Sheriff Holcomb
that a threatening crowd might
assemble, prompted the move, the
Sheriff said, but because there are
no quarters here for women pris
oners. The two principals in tms
striking . love story': of a mining
town circuit rider were separated
after a brief but fervid farewell,
each under charges of murder.
Almost three hours the two
were permitted to remain together
this morning and -this meeting
furnished the missing link in the
double murder, namely, Mrs.
Sweetin's part in the confessed
poison plot.
Only Sheriff Holcomb and a
few of his deputies were silent
witnesses of the short but impas -
sioned farwell of the two. Look-1
Ing down into her eyes, the clergy -
Sh'th. SVS
had confessed his Move, grasped
her hand and murmured: "Good
bye, my dear, I hope, somehow ,
we meet again."
No response came from the
woman who still showed outward
efforts nf an all nlctit vlrll Hnrlnirl
which she was pressed for her
confession. . Up to tho time Mrs.
Sweetin, at daybreak today, lean
ed forward to sob out her confes
sion, she had been-considered the
strongest willed . woman
brought to the jail. It was
the
meeting with the clergyman that
moved the woman to admit that
she had been implicated in the
plot and that she' had given her
husband the fatal "dose of poison.
iou loveu me qerore. are yor
going back on me?" was one ot
the first questions with which the
clergyman softened her heart.
This appeal, the state's attorney
said, did more to move the woman
to confess than 7id the
hours of questioning she was sub
Jected to.
