Attorney General Did Not Sign Morse Release Contract
Col. Thomas B. Felder, Georgia attorney, says Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty did not receive any pay for aiding Charles W. Morse’s release, despite a contract alleging a $25,000 fee. Felder asserts Daugherty refused compensation and was not party to the August 4 agreement, while Morse paid Felder and expenses earlier. The Morse case draws scrutiny from three Attorneys General and the Treasury Secretary as Caraway begins new attacks on Washington’s handling of the affair.
