Los ANGELES. CAL. August Is
Clarence S. barrow. freed on the
charge OF bribing Mcnamara Tales
man Lockwood, will stand before
Judge Hutton tomorrow afternoon as
defendant In an Indictment charging
the bribery OF Robert Balm. the first
juror To be sworn in the Mcnamara
trial. The second indictment comes
up to be set for trial
In the event the second bribery
charge against barrow Is tried, 1t will
not be before Judge Hutton. This
was announced by the judge today.
Il will set the case said Judge
Hutton. but / do not expect to try
it, Aside from the fact that my health
has been impaired by the long trial
which has just ended, / do not think
that 1t would be fair to either side
for me to sit in the second case.
Pairing all OF the evidence as have
done l would at least be disqualified
for Jury duty and ! do not believe
that man who would be disqualified
TO sit on the jury should sit on the
bench In trial.
When / began the case / had abb
solutely no opinions as To the guilt
or innocence of the deftndant, but
after hearing the evidence / could
not make the same statement now"
Judge Hutton Won't Sit.
Judge Hutton explained that. in the
absence of good objections of the at
torneys on either side. he would set
the case. and probably set 1t for his
own court, but when II should come
TO trial. he would exchange with some
other judge. either from this or some
other county.
District Attorney Fredericks said
today that the Balm case would be
set for trial tomorrow afternoon, UNI
less barrow or his attorney asked
that 1t be postponed for a few days.
He reiterated his statement OF yes
terday following the verdict of ac-
quiual by the jury that he sees no
present reason why the second prose
cution should not be pressed. Mr..
barrow said today that he would be
in court when the Balm case was
called from the calendar and assert
ed that he would be ready to defend
himself IL he IL to be brought to tria
for the second time. 1t is understood
that in the event OF second tria1
barrow will again retain Earl Rogers
as his chief counsel.

Automobiles fighting the wheel tax
law scored a victory against the Gov
eminent In the Police Court today when

roll Electric Company, arraisned for
non-payment of the assessment on his
automobile, was dismissed on account
OF lack Of evidence. 1t was the pur-
pose of counsel of the automobilists.
TO make the case of Mr.. Carrolfs, and
the cases OF several other prominent
local automobilists, who refuse to pay
the wheel tax on their machines, test
cases, as to whether the wheel tax law
provides for the penalizing OF those who
refuse 20 pay the assessment.
In consequence CT Mr.. Carroll being
dismissed because of insufficient evil
dence on the part of the Government,
Attorney Frank J. Hogan, who is repre-
senting the automobilists. declared I'M
