Will be sentenced.
Kenosha furnished the grist in the
mills of the federal court in Milwau-
kee today as the wheels of justice
started grinding there this morning in
an effort to clean up the remaining
cases against the membes of the al
legged Kenosha-C Chicago Milwaukee
whiskey ring, the indictments having
been returned by the last two federal
grand juries. Joel Jacobson, Charles
Erler and Hyman Gordon, all Kenosha
saloonkeepers, and Arthur Berk, were
scheduled to be called in court this
morning to answer charges of con-
spirscy to bride Bert. P. Herzog,
former dry enforcement chief.
Judge A. B. Anderson, of Indianapo-
lis, who is to preside at the remaining
trials and who heard the trial of At
torney Walter M. Burke of Kenosh on
a similar charge, will decide when the
case is called whether or not affidavits
Of prejudice filed against him by Cor
don and Jacobson are capable of pre-
venting him from hearing the case.
New Judge May Be Denied.
jacobson and Gordon declared that
Judge Anderson could not give them
an impartial trial because he had heard
evidence against them at the trial of
Walter Burke, Kenosha attorney. The
afidavits were said by federal ofici-
al to be ineffective, however, because
of the law prohibiting the filing of
more than one such affidavit in a
case.
The trial is expected to be more or
less Of an echo Of the trials of Walter
Burke and Bert Herzog, as the offenses
charged against jacobson and Gordon
are in connection with whisky ship
ments to Kenosha in June, 1920, in
which Burke and Herzog were impli-
Gated. Harry Feuer and Charles
Grosscurth, who were co-defendants
with Walter Burke and star governs
ment witnesses at Burke's trial, are
also co-defendants in the case. They
are expected to take the stand for the
government, as, is Joseph Custer, for
mer Kenosha internal revenue agent,
who testified at the Herzog trial that
he gave the former dry chief $16,500
in bribes.
Burke New Trial Plea Up.
The hearing of the motion of Walter
Burke for new trial before Judge
Anderson is also expected to take place
early in the week. 1t is thought that
sentence viii be passed upon Burke, as
well as upon Feuer, Grosscurth, Gus
ter and Budar, co-defendants with him,
who have pleaded guilty, if the new
trial motion is denied by the court.
There are fifteen defendants in IL
quor ring cases who have been either
convicted or have pleaded guilty, who
have not yet been sentenced, and a
general sentencing of the men is ex-
pect at the conclusion of the trials
and the disposal Of new trial motions.
Thomas A. Delaney, former prohibi-
ton director, and Joseph Ray, former
prohibition inspector, filed motions for
new trial on Saturday, and argu-
ments are expected during the week.
Sensations are expected to result
from the arguments on the Delaney
Ray new trial motion, as this nation
contains the charge that outside infiu-
ence was brought to bear upon the
jury by one of the jurors. No facts in
support of the charge were contained
in the motion. Additional evidence
will also be basis upon which the
new trial battle will be waged, the
motion charging that Joseph Giudice.
