DARROW TRIAL
MAY FALL FLAT

Los ANGELES. Cal. Mar. 1.-THE
jury bribery indictments against clar-
cncc =. barrow, former chief counsel
for the Mcnamara brothers. became
80 onmCshed IN legal tangles today
that there is possibility that all
charges may be dismissed.
The complications arose when Attor-
ney Earl Rogers, representing barrow,
refused to accept fragmentary notes
of testimony rs compliance with II
court order that the district attorney
supply the defense with a full tran
script Of the evidence ON which the
Grand jury indicted barrow
Declaring that a.full transcript was
not to be had because all the testi
mony had not been taken 10y the off
cial si.nographcr. District Attorney
Fredericks announced that he would
pay no more attention to the indict-
ments, and have barron rearrcsted on
information, as was done In the case
Of Bert Franklin. the Mcnamara de-
tective. who was fined $4,000 yesterday
after entering plea of guilty to the
charge that he had attempted to in
flucnce Il juror In the NCAlamara trial.
More legal obstacles arose at this
to whether such an arrest could he
made. In view OF the fact that barrow
was under Indictment for the alleged
ofrense. Then Judge Hutton. who first
ruled that the partial transcript was
sufficient and reversed himself last
week. added further complications by
fixing March II as the date when the
accused lawyer should appear in court
to have his case set for trial.
When court adjourned. the case was
left In u condition that puzzled the at
torncys for both sides. AS It stands.
according to counsel. the prosecutor
can not send the case back to the
grand jury because the conditions de-
veloped are not covered by the penal
code. He can not arrest barrow on
information because of the fact that
he has been indicted, and finally full
transcript Of the grand jury evidence,
which Fredericks declares can not be
procured. must be handed to the de-
Tense five days before barrow Is
brought into court to have his trial
date set.
District Attorney Fredcricks and his
assistants We're wrestling with the
problems all this afternoon. II was
stated however, that some mode of
procedure would he mapped out by
Monday.
