Will TRY HENRY
Again IN FALL
u. S. Attorney Laskey An
nounces Broker Must Face
Another Jury.
EARLY DATE TO BE FIXED
Lowyers Who Took Part in Recent
Trial Probably Will Appear
Again.
EARLY DATE TO BE FIXED

The trial of John william Henry on
a charge Of embezzlement. just ended
through the disagreement of a jury after
fifty hours of elaboration which fol-
lowed one of the most bitter legal
fights in the history Of the District
courts, Is to be restaged.
United States Attorney John E.
Laskey announced yesterday that Henry
will have to face another jury next fall
and as soon as possible after the re-
converting of the courts following the
summer recess. This means that the
Henry trial is to be restaged and prob
ably with practically the same cast as
in the trial just ended.
1t is regarded as certain that Henry
will be defended by former Justice Dan
lei Thew Wright and his associate. T.
Morris Wampler, former Assistant
United States Attorney. Lawyers say
that the defense offered by Wright and
Wampler in the trial just ended assures
their participation in the next trial.
1t likewise is almost certain that
United States Attorney Laskey and his
aid, James b. Archer. again will con-
duct the prosecution. The case almost
certainly will be tried before Justice
Siddons, and about the only new char
acters will be the members of the jury.
