GOVERNOR DAVIS
MAY BE TRIED
TAKING BRIBES
(By Associated Press)
TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. 12.—Governor
Davis today said that he never denied
that his son took money for the par
don of Fred W. Pollman, Kansas
banker, convicted of forgery and serv
ing a term in the State penitentiary.
He said he issued the pardon in good
faith. The son’s statement first said
that his father knew nothing of the
affair with Pollman.
In a copyrighted story the Kansas
City Journal denied the governor’s
statement of a political frame-up. It
said that the employment of young
Davis was suggested by the governor
himself. It said that Russell negoti
ated three times for the pardon of
Pollman, and was given every oppor
tunity to deny accepting the money
for Governor Davis for the parole of
Pollman.
The Kansas City Journal and Post
printed affidavits today from Taylor,
an instructor in the Hutchinson re
formatory that Governor Davis had
refused his request for a pardon after
he had rejected the request of the
governor for money. The affidavits
stated that young Davis acted as the
governor’s agent in an attempt to col
lect a bribe from Pollman.
