J Senator Heflin launches Bomb in Senate Debate Alleges "That Jess Smith Was Mur dered and Was 'Collector" for Grafters. Washington, Dec. 20. Unlimber ing another attack on the Harding administration, Senator Heflin demo crat, Alabama, told the senate today Attorney General Daugherty's friend,' Jess Smith, was murdered "because; he knew too much" and that it would j "open the eyes of the nation" if the: inside story of the recent Fall-Do- heny oil conspiracy' acquittal here ever were told. Secretary Mellon was pictured by the Alabaman as receiving funds col lected by Smith "from brewers and; bootleggers," in payment of advances to the Harding campaign fund. In I all, he Baid, the treasury secretary advanced $5,000.0u0 to the repub lican national committee and Smith was delegated to get back $2,000,000 of it from the booties: trade and thru the agency of the United States- district attorneys. Produces Court Excerpts. To support this statement, the senator produced excerpts from testi mony goven by former District At torney Boyles of southern Alabama, in a court proceeding at Mobile. The court record, he said, showed Boyles. testified he talked with Frank W. j Boykin, a friend of Smith, about! raising the $2,000,000. Reading from the record, Heflin said Boyles quoted Boykin as saying, "the plan' is to have liquor men, the men in , the liquor business and the breweries; to contribute to this fund, and that- the United States attorneys in some places -already "had been arranged with" to do the acual collecting. All of this testimony, said Sena tor Heflin, was read at a secret meet ing of the senate judiciary commit tee last April, when Boyles nomina tion for another term as district at torney was pending. Boyles himself was present and. according to the committee record, he said at one point he had not said the things at tributed to him. The district attor ney did say. however, according to Senator Heflin, that he had asked Jess Smith to help his candidate for United States marshal. "So Boyles was to get Jess Smith, this bootleg gambler, t ohave his man appointed United States marshal to gather in the loot on this rotten work. Three Millions Brought In. " I don't know whether it was Mellon's money or the government's but I know $3,000,000 was brought in and Jess Smith was assigned to get the other $2,000,000." Senator Heflin said he made these statements because he had heard he would receive a request from Dis-J trict Attorney Buckner, of New j York, for evidence to bear out his! charge that Smith was murdered. He continued: "This is one of the reasons why they wanted to get rid of Smith. I stated here the other day that Jess Smith knew more than anybody else; connected with the department of i justice of the high handed work of Mr. Daughterty and that the reasor. ; for getting rid of him was a very strong one. We were conducting ; here a general investigation of the i whole thing. It was rumored also that Jess Smith grew exceedingly j nervous over it and made up his mind) to make a clean breast of it all. But Jes3 Smith nexer lived to make that' clean breast. He was murdered." The jury that acquitted Albert B.J Kail ana toward Li. uoneny in ine oil conspiracy case here was describ ed by Senator Heflin as a collection of "dice-shooters and card-players,"! and he suggested the senate ask that the conspiracy charge against Fall and Harry F. Sinclair be tried in some other city. Promises Complete Exposure. "I am going to keep on until this thing is laid before the American people," shouted Hoflin. Senator Heflin then -enlarged upon his charge that Albert Fall and Ed-! ward Doheny never would have been brought to trial on the oil conspir acy charges of which they were ac quitted unless there had been an "ar rangement" before hand assuring either acquittal or a misjrial. 1 "He quoted newspaper stories say-, ing that while the jury was consid-! ering its verdict its members were singing and "shooting dice." One of them insisted on a verdict of acquit-' tal way in the night. "He asserted he would not allow the others to sleep and turned on the phonograph, j "I know some things about this case and I am not going to say it now. It would open the eyes of the nation if they knew the inside story. He then turned his attack on the Wall Street Journal, which, he said had attacked him for his recent speech about the Fall-Dohenytrial. ') I needed anything to bear out. the righteousness of my intentions," he said, "I would need no better proof than an attack from the Wall Street Journal."
