Davis, accepted $1200 and deliver ed a pardon to Fred W. Pullman, for mer president of a Ivansus nana; ana convicted forger. The transaction to,ok place in a ho tel room here and was exposed by the Kansas City Journal, whose represen tatives In conjunction with Pollman, had aet a trap (or the overnor'a son. Governor Davie, whose term ei pires nest Monday admitted hla son had been "inveigled into accepting the money," and asserted the affair "was a fraineup by political enemies io get me." ' ' Starlet Disagree . Governor Davis' explanation of the Krone of the hotel room did not agree with the story related by the Journal reporters present. The Journal'a version was: Young Davis, who was 28 years old, accepted J100O from Tollman, while two Journal representatives, a short hand reporter and several other wit nesses listened in adjoining rooms by the aid of a telephonic device hidden behind a curtain in Poltaan's room. Deceiving the $1000 payment the gov ernor eon , eft the hotel and return ed with the pardon and then recoived an additional $250. He waa then con fronted by the Journal reportera and the other witnesses. When threatened with arreat, the governor's son re turned the $250 received on delivery of the pardon and left the hotel, com ing back later with the $1000. , . ; Father Innocent. The Journal said he refused to say where he had left the $1000 after de parting from the hotel the flrat time, but added that young pavia asserted hit father bad no knowledge of the -transaction. Governor Davis said his son told him of the' affair last night when he came home. - "Somehow ,they inveigled my son into accepting the money," he saitK "But when ho realised why they had given It to him, took it back to them. At the same time he delivered the pardon, which I' had already decided to. grant." The governor said he had aided Pollman at his trial in 1021, and later had appealed to Former Gover nor Jlenry Allen in Tollman'! behalf. Son Under Cover The governor's son could not "be rearmed last night, his father stating ho had rotlred. Tollman alleged he had been told by Glenn A. Davis, who was sentenc ed, to life IniprUontnont for murder that Governor Davia solicited the payment of money to hla son for exe (titivp. clemenry. Pollman has been active yince his release from prison in iicliiilf of Glenn Davis and had oh tinned., he anid, several short term paroles for' Glenn Davia. Tollman ststed that Glenn Davia talked to the governor in Topeka nnd charged the governor had told the : murder convict if Tollman went down to the. Davis fnrm "taking about $TJ50 along" and the governor's son, Tollman would "get what ho wanted." Glenn Davis wns granted full pa role ttf tho governor December 20, last. Tollman stated. , 1 Governor Davis in his talk with Gleen Davia aaid, according to Toll man's affidavit Hint if Tollman paid his aon na suggested, a pardon would he Issued to Tollman and that per hnpa Glenn Davia might nlo,get a full pardon. Glenn Davia, at Tollman's .Instruc tions returned to Topeka and told the governor he had been unable to find Pollman, the affidavit says. It waa then,- Tollman said, that Governor Davia commuted the murder convict's life term to 20 years and granted a full parole. Governor' Davia emphatically de clared "the story that I had ever so licited aid from Glenn Davis or any one else is untrue absolutely false."
