ANDERSON SPEAKS WARMLY IN DEFENSE OF PARTNER. He Declares Insinuations In (Jover- nor’s Message Which Refer to Fel der Are Absolutely Untrue. An Atlanta dispatch says C. L.

Please is quoted as Inquiring why Feldet “was not prosecuted when It was found that he was the attorney for i liquor house and was favored with liquor, purchases and rebates were aid for these purchases.” Ander son says; “Since the Goodman and Fleisch- •nan compromises ref' rred to were Dso made under the advice and through tiie instrumentality of Mr. ^eTdcr, T ass time that the governor’s ■t-ference to these matters and de- and that they lie inquired Into, is 'ikew iso an attempt to reflect upon dr.
