because of their very gravity and se- riousness that I demanded upon the floor of the house not an investiga- ton but the formal process of i'm peachment. I am prepared at the ap- propriate time to present witnesses and documentary evidence tS sustain every charge that I make bit de- mand that when such evidence is presented it shall be in public hear ings SO that the American people may know whether or not my charges were sustained
 This is time" MT. Keller further asserted, when the very safety of the nation demands that the American people be assured of the uprightness and impartiality of their public eff cials and of the administration of justice. Unless the people are con vinced that this is a government of laws and not of men who arbitrarily and automatically override const,fu- tional limitations and trample upcn the most sacred rights of American citizens there Is no stopping place short of anarchy and revolution"

GRAND JURY FINDING
 INVOLVES ATTORNEY
Wolf of Maryland Charged With Ob- structing Justice-Is Noted
 Criminal Lawyer.

Baltimore, Sept. 16.-The grand jury found a presentment yesterday against Harry B. Wolf, criminal law yer; Walter socolow and John Keller on a charge of conspiracy to obstruct justice. The presentment was based on the visit of Socolow and Keller to the criminal lawyers home on Aug. 23, five days after the murder of Will liam B. Norris, contractor. Re- wards were offered at the time for the arrest of Socolow and other1 of the gang that shot Mir. Norris and robbed him of nearly sS,0oo. One witness before the grand jury was Lyell Bossum, chauffeur of the taxi cab which carried socolow and Keller to Wolf's home.
 The preseStment of the most noted criminal lawyer in Maryland on such a charge caused a sensation in the city. It is said that police officials and possibly one or two political bosses may be brought into the case.
 MT. Wolf seems little worried over the presentment. He is not counsel for any suspect in the case, but the alleged visit of Socolow and Keller to his home has never been explained.
 Wolfs rise to fame and wealth as a lawyer in criminal cases has been phenomenal. He began at an early age to sell newspapers on the streets
 He was graduated at law at Mary land University in 1901. and is now 42 years old and has been a member of congress.
 With the presentment of Wolf and Keller twelve persons, including woman, are involved in the murder and robbery.
