NICW YOIIK, Dee. 1KI. Dmmatic
details of the Iciiho situation when
tho late United States Senator I'hile-
tus Sawyer of Wisconsin tried to
bribe Senator La Kolletto to corrupt
Judge Siebccker lire given today in
La Kollette's autobiography in the
January Ihhiic of the American tniigu
r.iue. It was during tho case of the state
of Wisconsin against severnl former
statu treasurers nnd their bondsmen
to collect interest on state funds ap
propriated by tho defendants. Saw
yer, republican boss, stood to lose
hundreds of thousands of dollars ns
bondsmun for several of tho former
trensurcrs. He neked La Kolletto to
meet him at the IMatiingtou hotel in
.Milwaukee nnd then shot his proxsi
lion straight from the shoulder. Ln
Kolletto says Sawyer said to him:
"No one nows I am to meet you. I
don't wnnt to biro you ns tin attor
ney. And I don't wnnt you to go into
court. Hut hero is $'0 nnd I will
givo you -ffiOO more or $1000 ( or
$500 more nnd $10001 wns never
nldo to recall exactly the sums
named) when Siebcekcr decides the
cases right."
4"I said to him,' Ln Kolletto de
clares, 'Senator Sawyer, you cannot
now wbnt you nro snying. If yon
struc mo in tho fnco you could jiot
insult mo as you insult mo now.'
"Ho said: 'Wait, bold on.' I wns
then standing up. I said, 'No, you
don't wnnt to employ mo ns nn at
torney, ion wnnt to hire mo to tnlk
to the judge nbout our ease off the
bench.' Ho said: "I did not think
you would tnko n retainer in iho case.
I did not thin you would wnnt to go
into tho cuso ns nn attorney. How
much will you tnko as n retainer!'
"I answered, 'you hnven't got
enough money to employ mo ns an
nttorney in your enso nfter wbnt you
linvo Bind to me.'
" 'Well, perhaps I don't iindorstnud
court rules. Any wny, let mo pay you
for coming down here.'
"I snid. 'Not n dollar, sir,' nnd Jin-'
medintflly left tho room.
"This shocked mo into complete
realisation of tho extremes to which
this power thnt Sawyer represented
would go to scoura tho results it wns

TWO MYSTERIES
CONFRONT POLICE
OF STUD BOSTON
Women Are Found Murdered One
Thought to Have Died As Result

BQSTOX, Mnss., Dec. 23. Two
mysterious murders of women today
confront the Boston police. One is
thnt of Miss Mnrv Bolduc of Man
chester, N. IT., bolieved to have died
through n criminal operation, nnd the
other is the finding of tho body of
Miss Bridgot Pritcbnrd, 18, stubbed
through the bronst.
In tho Ilydo Park morgue todny is
the Bolduc girl's body, partly dismem
bered. It was found in an npartment
bouse in Forest Hills, n suburb. In
the same suit, the polico say, were
two other women, one a mero girv,
who bore babies n week ago. Mrs.

Dr. John Ferguson of Manchester,

Even more sousntionnl than the
Bolduc case is that of tho Pritchard
girl. No clow has been obtained as
to how she met hor fate. Stabbed in

C. P. Connolly.

WAS THE REAL REASON

As to Disastrously Affect.
Election Result; ' , ..
LOS ANGELES, Cab, Dee. 23.
Declaring that C. P. Connolly, author
of an nrticlo entitled "The Saving of
Clarence Darrow," nppcariog in tho
current issue of a weekly publica
tion, "had been after him for somo
time," Clarence S. Darrow todny em
phatically dented tho charge that ho
had sold out the McNnmara brothers
to save himself from prosecution on
a bribery chnrge. In a statement
prepared exclusively for tho United
Press ho said:
(By Clarence S. Darrow.)
Tho charge thnt I used Lincoln
Stcffens, tho magazine writer, ns n,
tool in bringing tho McNnmara enso
to an end to "save my own neck" is
a malicious lie. Whatever part Stef
fens may have had in the enso was
entirely upon his own initiative nnd
solely upon his own authority. Any
statement that I directed bis notions
is absolutely false and wholly with
out foundation.
Tho reason for tho termination of
the case at the time and under tho
conditions tnatttrcvnflettwasjVftaI
Tmvo stated before, simplv Lecnuso
we had given up hope of winning. Wo
realized there was absolutely no
chanco of securing an acquittal or
even a hung jury.
Equally false nnd malicious is tho
statement that settlement was brought
about because of tho arrest of Bert
Franklin on the chnrge of bribing
Prospotcivo Jury Lockwood. Nego
tiations which resulted in the plens
of guilty boing entered wero begun
long boforo tho nrrest of Franklin
nnd the matter was practically agreed
upon before any intimation of tho
bribery wns made. Ten dnys before
thnt time we had determined that if
we could effect a compromiso of any
ind so thnt our clients' lives might bo
saved, we would do it. And this
would havo been dono if Franklin hud
not been nrrcsted.
The Franklin matter never entered
into any discushinu that led to tho
determination of n plea of guilty. Wo
dM not discuss it with the nrosecu.
tion, nor wns the subject" ever men
tioned Ihi the discussion with tho
prisouers when they ngrced to enter
their pleas.
It is nlso untrue that tho plea1;
wero timed so as to have disastrous
effect on tho socialist ticket in tlit
municipal election. Wo wero not
forced to enter the plons of guilty nt
tho tirao wo did, nor at any lime. Wi
had expected thnt thoy would coint,
sooner at loast ten days earlior
Wo gnvo no thought to tho election
I wns not conducting n municipal
enmpaign, but endeavoring to savo
tho lives of my clionts, who won.
guilty of tho murders with which thoy
woro charged. And when I had thu
opportunity to save tho men fron,
hanging I jumped nt tho ohniioo. Anj
lawyor who had tho welfaro of hi.i
client nt heart would havo dono th'j
same.
Job ITarriman, tho sooinlist nom
inoo for mayor, wns not consulted
simply bconnso Jio had given up all
active connection with tho defeuso
beonuso of his political activities. Ifo
had not been near our offipo for sev
eral weoks prior to tho entering ot
tho pleas.
As far as tho disposition pf, tho Mc
Nnmara defenso fund is concerned, I
will nocount for ovory dollar of that
when tho proper tirao comes. Not a
ponny went to finance tho socialist
onmpaign, and any story to the oon
trary is absolutely fnlso und without
foundation,
This man Connolly hnH boon after
mo for several years nnd his article
is false from beginning to end!
Tho love that giprvlves six months
of married jifo may be' (lio gciijifno
nvtlolo.
