GAN PROSECUTE UNTIL
He TAKES JUDICIAL OATH
Law Upholds District Attor-
ney Gould.

Confusion at the City Hall and much
involved legislation have been 1orestall-
ed by the diligence of a Washington at
torney. He is counsel for an individual
recently indicted by the grand jury,
and who wanted to test the validity of
the Indictment on the ground that it
was signed by District Attorney Gould
after he had been appointed an associ-
ate member of the Supreme Court of
the District
The attorney for the defense stated
yesterday that he found the law TO be
that the acts Of Mr. Gould as District
Attorney are not affected by the fact
that ne has received his commission as
a member of the Supreme Court II the
District He is not a de facto member
of the District Bench until he has sub
scribed to the oath of office. If the re-
verse of this were true all the indict-
ments reported by the grand jury and
signed by District Attorney Gould
since his nomination was confirmed by
the Senate would be invalid Mr. Gould
gave this matter attention at the time
OF his confirmation. Had there beeueRny
reasonable ground on which to question
the LEGALITY VI tAE IIuiCLAIGuJS alluCIceU
by him after the date of his confirmation
he would have avoided such a complica-
ton
After Mr.. Gould takes the oath of Of
fee and is assigned to one of -
branches Of the Supreme Court OF lie
District, he viii not be eligible to pre-
side at the trial of any person against
whom he returned an Indictment while
he was United States District Attorney
for the District. From what is knowa
at this time, however, it is generally
believed that Mr. Gould will not be as
signed to either of the criminal divisions
