DEFENDS HIS ACTS
Sought to Save Friend Laa
terbach, He Says.
AN INTERESTING WITNESS
' Am the One Villain In Wall Street,"
He Declares Bitterly "All the Rest
Are Actuated by the Highest Mo
tives." Washington, July IX The senate com
mittee Investigating the Washington
lobby scandals again hoard David La
mar, "the wolf of Wall street." Lamnr
, had requested a further hearing t'
prove that ncltlier Mr. Lauterbach nor
himself had engaged together to get
money from J. P. Morgan & Co. or
other Interests.
"I'll tell you what my motive was,"
said Lamar, discussing the reason for
his association with Lautcrbach. "It
was either to force these men to recog
nize the injustice of their attitude to
ward Lautcrbach and myself or force
them to come out Into the open with
tho charges of blackmail tliey had cir
culated In New York for years against
both of ub. Ledyard and his associ
ates had ruined many men, and I was
determined they should not ruin me."
Lamar said he knew Lewis Cass
Ledyard was trying to "trip him"
wlien he began telephoning In the
name of Representative Palmer and
then determined to "fix a game on
Ledyard to force the financial Inter
ests Into the open."
Corroborates Lauterbach.
Lamar's choice of adjectives In
speaking of various Wall street men
led senators to Interrupt his statement
frequently. Whenever the committee
disapproved of something he said La
mar Immediately agreed with the ob
jector, to the great amusement of the
audience.
The committee finally decided to
hold Lamar strictly to answering
questions. He testified he had told
Lauterbach that Senator Stone had
authorized him to make certain repre
sentations to tho Morgan firm and had
told Lauterbach that Senator Stono
said ho represented Speaker Clark.
Lauterbach bad testified that all his
Information about Senator Stone and
Speaker Clark had come from Lamar.
Under a sharp fire of questions La
mar insisted that his only object was
to bring about "Just such a situation
as this investigation."
"I am tho one villain In Wall
street," said Lamar bitterly. "All the
rest are actuated by tho highest mo
tives and possess tho highest Ideals."
Lamar declared tho whole thing was
"a major Wall utreet operation travel
tag on parallel lines" and Insisted he
was "after Ledyard, Cravath, Evarts,
Lovett and tho Morgan steel trust.
Union Pacific and other Interests" and
wanted to foroo them to nn open at
tack. "It was a favorite method of
mine for producing an explosion when
I wanted one," ho added.
His Basis For Charges.
Lamar testified that his charges of
an $82,000,000 forgery on the Union
Pacific books, which was emphatically
denied by lawyers for the company at
tho time he made them, were founded
on statistics from a "manual" and
Thomas Gibson, a New York financial
writer. lie had discussed with Lauter
bach making tho charges public before
the lobby committee.
The witness testified also of Imper
sonating Mr. McCombs, chairman of
the Democratic national committee
and Mr. miles, chairman of the Re
publican national committee.
Senator Cummins wanted to know
If Lauterbach asked for an explanation
of any of Lamar's plants which in
volved his (Lauterbach's) honor.
"The question of honor was not con
sidered. It was entirely a Wall street
operation," returned Lamar.
Tho committee tried to bring out
whether Lamar had any stock in the
Steel corporation about tho time the In
vestigation resolution was Introduced
or held any Union Pacific or Southern
Pacific recently or now. Lamar denied
having any.
