Asserting that he was ignorant of
the charges against him, he said he
had been informed that “the real ba
sis for my removal is my refusal to
remove without cause an efficient
and loyal associate.”
It was generally understood that
Mr. Harris’ conduct of prohibition
enforcement cases did not meet with
approval of department of justice
heads at Washington. Mr. Harris
said he had letters from Mrs. Mabel
W. Willebrandt, assistant attorney
general, in charge of prohibition en
forcement, which “if presented to
any reasonable body of same mind
will convict her of absolute mis
statements knowingly made.”
