ALLEGES BIAS
AND PREJUDICE
Frank A. Maestretti Begins
His Preliminary Skirmish
Against Going to Trial
GRAND JURORS APPEAR
While William V. Bryan, Sec
rotary, Is Being Examined
Continuance Is Ordered

The grand jurors gathered in Judge
Lawlor's courtroom yesterday after
noon to give their testimony on the
motion Of Frank A. Maestretti. presi-
dent Of the Board of Works, to set
aside the Indictment charging him
with fraudulently attempting to in
duce person to give false testimony
The hour was late when the case was
called, and while William ". Bryan,
secretary of the Grand Jury, was be-
Ing examined a continuance was or
dered till Saturday morning at 1890
o'clock. The defendant sat between
his attorneys, Ex-Governor Budd and
henry c. Dibble. during the proceed
ings.
When Bryan took the stand Budd
announced that the defense desired to
show that there existed in the minds
of the grand Jurors bias and preiu-
dice against the defendant to such an
extent as to affect his substantial
rights. He referred particularly to
committee appointed by the Grand
Jury, which examined persons outside
the sessions or that body prior to the
filing of the indictment.
Assistant District Attorney FerraI
thought 1t would be killing time to go
into such an inquiry at that time. to
which both Budd and Dibble hotly
retorted that they were not killing
time and that the defendant was anx-
iouS to proceed TO trial. but at the
same time he would insist upon his
rights. I'VE claim said Budd that
there was a combination by and be-
tween a majority of the Grand Jury
and a committee of that body where
by any person the committee might
recommend for indictment would be
indicted"
In answer to questions, most of
which were objected to on the ground
of privilege, Bryan said there was no
record of the appointment of a COM
mittee. The committee was appointed
by Foreman Andrews in accordance
with what he was advised was the
law on the subject. No report had
been received from the committee as
to indicting the defendant. Fourteen
members had been present when the
indictment was under consideration
On the day the indictment was filed
District Attorney Byington had told
the jury that he had a case against
Frank A. Maestretti. Then a recess
was taken and Judge Lawlor was
summoned. He instructed the Jurors
as to their duties and informed them
that jurors should not vote on an in
dictment if there existed in their
minds any bias or prejudice against
the person to be indicted. No name
was mentioned, but simply "a case
pending" Then, in open court Fore
man Andrews and Jurors Bowes and
Speck said they were disqualified.
They were excused by the Judge. 1t
was at this point that a continuance
was ordered till Saturday morning.
