Mr.. Houx is to be congratulated

motions to quash two indictments.
charging embezzlement. larceny, and
false pretenses against Griffin Hal

charges.
A decision is not expected immedi-
ately, postponing Halstead's trial,
scheduled today, until after the ruling
is made upon the pleadings.
Defrauding many former clients of
money invested or held as security for

Hs&stead, who was thrown into bank
ruptcy proceedings a year ago.
Halstead's attorneys, H. Prescott Cat

ouashed because books and accounts of
Halstead's business in the hands of the
referee in bankruptcy were submitted
to The grand jury.

son contends that 1t is not shown that
such accounts were the only evidence
before the grand jury upon which the
criminal charges were made.
