ing regulations passed forbidding the
placing of vegetables nearer the
ground than three feet. This rule
would prevent produce from coming in
contact with dogs. etc. and keep il off

STIR OVER The

Attorney General Gray Has
Nothing to Say About Futher

FOR MANS RELEASE

whether there will be any further
moves I'm the way Of trying TO get
a pardon for John Goodwin, convict
ed Of attempted election bribery, who
was refused a pardon yesterday for
the third time by the Board OF Par
dons. could not be learned today II
was reported that within a month or
SO another application may be made
for the release OF Goodwin on the
ground that he has been sufficiently
punished He was sentenced to serve
two years and has served nearly SIX
months of the sentence.
Men who have been active In try
ing to get Goodwin pardoned today said
they did not know of any further
moves to be made In his behalf.
There is much speculation as TO
the attitude of Attorney General Gray
as result of the recent hearings be
for the Board Of rardons. An afii-
davit signed by Andrew Crossan re-
pudiating his original testimony led
to the hearing of the application turn
ed down yesterday. Crossan did not
appear at the two previous hearings
and the attorney generals department
and counsel for Goodwin were re-
quested to try to find him. Attorney
General Gray located Crossan and
produced him yesterday. Crossan ex-
planned that he thought he was sign
Ing a petition for Godwin's pardon
instead Of an affidavit and stuck by
his testimony given at the Goodwin
trial.
After Crossan signed the affidavit
and before he was located by Detec-
tive Gillis in Baltimore a warrant was
sworn out for his arrest on a charge
OF perjury Since Crossan yesterday
explained how he came to sign the
affidavit to the Board OF Pardons the
warrant charging perjury has not beer
pressed against him.
Il was reported today that Attor'
ney General Gray Is preparing som'
further moves. and that some arresu
may be made as a result of the mix
