completed details necessary to the de-
tense today. Every effort to expedite
the trial, Mr.. Hogan said. would be ex-
erted by himself and fellow counsel.
The consolidation OF four indictments
against the bankers individually and
severally accused. will serve to shorter,

This was the time consumed in the
trial OF John William Henry, on the
charge growing out of alleged handling
OF some of the funds OF the defunct
brokerage firm OF Lewis johnson q Co.,
and II Is conceded that the Riggs hear
ing Will be as bitterly fought as was
this litigation,
The Government has subpoenaed
twenty-eight witnesses, among whom
are the stenographer in the Office Of
Attorney Frank ]. Hogan, and several
employees OF the Riggs Bank. All Of
these, II was announced today, will be
examined as Government witnesses.
The number OF witnesses to be used
by the accused bankers to refute the
evidence OF the Government depends
largely upon the extent to which the
prosecution goes.
: Based on Affidavit.
The bankers are accused OF perjury
based on an affidavit presented during
the trial Of the Injunction suit brought
by the Riggs Bank against Secretary
OF the Treasury McAdoo and others.
which was heard before Justice Mccoy
last summer.
In the injunction suit, counsel for the
Government charged that the Riggs
Bank had been specializing in stocks
through Lewis johnson a Co. This
brought In retaliation the affidavit from
the bankers which Is the basis of the
criminal action.

No Relief In Sight.

Relief for the consumer OF gasolene
IL not in sight. according to views held
in the oil industry. Rehners who for
merly came through the winter with
big stocks of gasolene on hand to satisfy
the spring and summer trade are now
said to have only small, stocks. On the
other hand. kerosene has been stored in
large quantities. and the problem Is to
find a market for this commodity, which
has practically made a by-product.
The manufacturing and carrying
charges involved In the production and
storing OF kerosene have been one of
factors In the advance in the price OF
gasolene.. Until some inventor pro-
ducss an engine that will run 'on kero-
sene. or until some scientist succeeds in
extracting more gasolene from crude
oil. the gasolene problem promises to re-
main acute.

pressed the opinion on Friday that,

Ioro was taken by surprise, but ex-

Although severely wounded In the

from the wounds, Mr.. Bickford has
never lost his happy and cheerful dis
