Go Ako«4 Despite Wheeler In-
dkteieot In MonUna.
Washington, April 9l—The Senate
Committee appointed to inveetlgate
the Department of Justice and the
official acta of Harry M. Daugherty
announced after an executive session
today that its inquiry would proceed
with renewed force despite the in*
dictment in Montana of the com
mittee prosecutor, Senator Wheeler.
At the meeting behind closed doors
the indictment returned against the
Montana Senator was dicussed at
length, gnd afterward Chairman
Brookhart made this statement:
‘This investigation will proceed,
and proceed with a force and deter
mination t has never shown before.
The chairman then called to the
stand in open session George W.
Storek, th. eDepartment of Justice ac
countant who testified yesterday and
he was questioned about a list of de
partment cases on which he had
worked. Most of his testimony yes
terday had to do with the Old Hick
ory Powder plant, but today his ex
amination swung into phases of an
other of the big post-war cases, that
involving the Bosch-Magneto Com
pany.
Storek said he had worked on the
proceeding against Joseph F. Guffey,
a Democratic leader in Pennsylvania
and former director of sales for the
alien property custodian. He said
■“I indicted Guffey,** after an investi
gation in the case.
Readin from his examination of
Guffey’s books, Storek said there was
. a “shortage” interest- amounting to
$398,000. An indictment for embez
zlement was returned against Guffey,
but “nothing done on it,” the witness
said and the shortage was “made
good” in March, 1921, after various
partmsnt.
“I know that this money was used
by Mr. Guffey for his personal use and
that it subsequently found its way in- 1
to the treasury,” Stock said.
• Guffey “invariably” retained funds
for some months when he made sales,
he added, and these funds were earn
ing 2 1-2 to 3 per cent while he held
them.
The alien property custodian, A.
Mitchell Palmer, he said, was “aware
of this condition.*’
