PROSECUTION OF CASES

San Francisco, June 24-United
States District Attorney McNab, who
Saturday telegraphed the president his
resignation because Attorney General
McReynolds had ordered certain cases
postponed, today refused to proceed
with the prosecution of those officials
of the Western Fuel Company not
mentioned by the attorney general. 81
feel 1t would be a miscarriage of JUS
tice to try some of the defendants,
and refuse to try Others" he told the
court. A continuance for three weeks
has been granted. The Diggs and
Caminetti white slave cases were also
continued.
Twenty three members of the fed
eral grand jury which returned the
original indictments against the West
ern Fuel Company directors tonight
drafted a telegram to President Will
son, protesting against the "usurpa-
tion of power by the attorney general
of the United States in giving pri-
vate ear to certain defendants and
then ordering a postponement of the
cases.
When the cases of John l.. Howard.
ct al, indicted officers and directors of
the Western Fuel Company, were
called in federal court today, District
Attorney McNab asked for a continu-
ance.
since these cases were set, certain
conditions have arisen in the matter
directorate of the Western Fuel Com
pany" said McNab. 1.-The attorney gen.
eral has requested me to withdraw
from trial at present the names of
certain defendants. / am absolutely
unable to agree with my superior. and
under these circumstances. / do not
feel that I should proceed with the
cases in hand"
The cases were set over until July
IS.
For a similar reason McNab secured
continuance OF the cases of Drew
Caminetti and Maury ]. Diggs.
John L. Howard is president of the
Western Fuel Company. Under in
dictment with him, charged with haV-
ing conspired to defraud the govern
ment by systematic short weighing of
over 300, ,oo6 tons, are Robert Bruce and
Sydney V. Smith, directors among
others.
The controversy involving McNab's
resolution resignation grew in part out
of the request of the attorney general
that Bruce and Smith be not tried at
the same time as the other defendants.
