Flerida anil within a tfai n. an nt 'hla
departure Mr. Celes advised ate haV
wasliajrteM had telephoned asking that
action In the McConnell rase he de
ferred. Subsequently, this conversation
ya confirmed by letter, te which a for
mal, reply was drafted. I suggested
that the Attorney General should be
Informed wltn particularity of the seri
ousness of his request. A letter was
then 'written which einnhnslzed the ne
cessity of prompt action.
"It was suggested en several occa
sions that we go te Washington and lay
the matter before the Attorney General
or one of his assistants, but I was ad
vised .that no interview could be ar
ranged. N
"The matter drifted en. The Grand
Jury, met the, week of February 27.
Our ease was net .presented. The jury
adjourned te, meet the following Wed-.
nesdny, for n three day session. It
would then adjourn for the term. Tite
next Grand Jury would net meet for
three months, about 'June 1. I drew
Mr. Celes' attention te the fact tint
the biggest case en the list, one In
which the assistance of the Grand Jury
was materially needed in developing ad
ditional evidence, wirs being crowded te
the Inst minute. Te my surprise be
told me that there wns no present ne
cessity for proceeding with the case.
Still Mere Delay
"On Saturday, March i. II. T. Jenes
nnd Morgan C. Smith arrived from the
Attorney General's office te discuss the
case. I spent the major portion of the
afternoon going ever the evidence in
volving McConnell tthey manifested no
interest In any one else). At the con
clusion of this discussion I asked if they
were satisfied with the evidence. I was
then advised they hnd no authority te
settle the question, but must report back
te Washington. I asked that a deci
sion be revcnled promptly.
"I wns then told that we were not net
expected te proceed at the present. time
in nny event. I was net surprised nt
this in view of Mr. Celes' previous sug
gestion te me, nor was I surprised when
Mr. Celes immediately agreed te the
proposal. Tint I was indignant.-
"I told them in. brief that the case
had been hanging five or six months.
That it wns the most flngrSnt conspir
acy te defy the law that had come into
the office. The case had been slipped
past the Grand Jury In December te
save tlie Attorney General from embar
rassment. That if It was shuffled past
this Grand Jury, I was through with
Hint office.
"They expostulated that Washington
was Interested In the case. I told them
Washington had five weeks te satisfy
Us Interest nnd had new come In at the
Inst moment te ask that no action be
taken. There wns the law and there
was the evidence, and Washington
could change neither. I added that It
wns the first time In my experience that
Washington hnd ever attempted te held
up n prosecution nnd I concluded by
telling them that if I wasn't fired before
Wednesday I would start the case be
fore the Grand Jury.
Inslsteden "Showdown"
"I was emphatic. Five weeks of tel
ephening and correspondence between
District Attorney Celes and the Attor
ney General had failed te release the
dead hand grip or tne orders zrem
Wnshlncten. It was my only chnnce.
The Attorney .General wns being used
te accempiiHU a uiscreuuuuie euu. j.i
was my duty te get him awake, and I
passed out the stlffest jolt I carried.
"The representatives of the Attorney
General, together with Mr. Celes, left
me. I understand they telephoned
Washington. Monday morning Mr.
Jenes returned. He asked me te pre
pare a report en the case. 1 told him
I net only would de that but I would
myself take It te Washington. On
Tuesday morning I saw one of the as
sistants te the Attorney General and
came back with authority te proceed.
Certain evidence nlready gathered was
presented te the Grand Jury Thursday.
Friday a court order wns secured espe
cially continuing the Grand Jury beyond
the regular term, which ended Snturdny,
In order that a complete Investigation
might be made.
"On Saturday I snw Rush Helland,
nsslstnnt te the Attorney 'General, In
the office. He was closeted with Mr.
Celes for an hour or mere. I did net
meet him. nor was I told the purpose
of his visit.
"Further evidence was presented te
the Grand Jury when it convened in

journed until Friday te give us nn op ep

1WENIMF' P.UJBMq,, Xil
o'clock en Wednesday, March IB, Mr.
Celes saw he had a lenet.ier me. i
read it. It severed my. connection with
the service that same day.
"It was my opinion then and lt la
my oplnlert new that It would have
been a disgrace te the administration of
justice te shuffle that case part the
present Grand Jury. . .
"There were plenty of neenle with
fHll knowledge of the case en the out
side who (didn't want It started and
only' a handful en the inside wns knew
it and wanted It tarun Most of them
were net in a position te kick it Inte
life. Cases like that go te sleep and
die of old age because nobody does
anything.
"It was net a wet or. dry isse. It
wasn't any issue at- all. It was I com
mon decency. We were scotching the lit
tle fellows every day and we were let
ting the real big 'ones hide under the
h. .. t j.
, "I haven't charged any one with bad
fnlth In hi inntter hilt there St SV-,
crnl questions that seem: te me ought te.
be nnswered. s .
"First. When Mr. Celes went te
Washington Inst December before the
meeting of the Grand Jury, the Mc
Connell case had been pending n month
or mere. -.Dld he discuss it wlthany
one nt that time?
"Second. If he did, who was It?
And if he did jftet, why did he insist
upon his return, that the evidence
should be withheld from the Grand
Jury? ,
'Third. Why did Mr. ueies ignore
his premise, made te me and te the
chief of the Intelligence Bureau te call
a special Grand Jury in December in
order te sift the case te the bottom?,
"Fourth.. Hew did thej Attorney
General learn that an Investigation in
volving Mr., McCenncll wns under con
sideration in the District Attorney's of
fice nt Philadelphia?
"Fifth. There were cases against a
hundred defendantste be presented be
fore the Grand Jurv in. March. Why
did the Attorney General's office trust
entirely te the District Attorneys joag jeag
ment in all but one, that of Mr. Mc Mc
eonncll, and tic his bands as te that
one.
"Sixth. Beth the Attorney General
and Mr. Celes, the District Attorney,
are new in accord with the idea that
the case should be proceeded with at
once. Is the Attorney General new con
vinced that my emphasis saved his de
partment from a disgraceful failure of
duty, or does he resent my emphasis
as insuberdlnntlqn, and just ground for
dismissal?
"I only knew I was dismissed. Yeu
may put such construction upon that as
you cheese."
TOO BUSY TO ANSWER
WALNUT, SAYS COLES
United States District Attorney
Celes said today he is "tee busy prose
cuting cases te engage in scandalmen-
pjirr." Thte vena Mi rnlw whan In
This
brmed of the criticism of him made by
T. Henry Walnut, his former nsslst
nnt.
"I have no reply te make at this
time," Mr. Celes said when a synopsis
of Mr. Walnut's address before the City
Club today was read te him. "I will
wait until Mr. Walnut is through with
his remarks."
Pressed further, the District Attor
ney said he had sent no representative
te the City Club meeting.
"I nm net Interested In the least,"
lie said. "The Grand Jury is new in
session, I am presenting nil the evi
dence the Government has ana tne
Grand Jury's actions will speak louder
than words."
"Who will be Indicted?" he wns
asked.
"I am net In a position te state that.
The mntter rests entirely with Jhe
Grnnd Jury.
"Yeu see hew busy I am." Mr. Celes
went en. One hand waved toward the
desk piled with correspondence, briefs
nnd books.
"We nrc swamped with work," he
continued. "I have net time te engage
in any controversy or scnndalmengery.
And I will net make nny anBwcr at
this time, anyhow. I won't say another
word."
