are only slightly out of alignment.
The dentist should grind off the
sharp edges OF such teeth. and badly

SEEN AS AN ATTACK

in Demurrer.

The Indictment reported some
months ago against Benedict Crowen.

Starrett is an engineer and architect
of the firm Of Starrett 81 Van Week
and was connected with the emer-
gency construction committee of the

If this indictment is sustained. Mr..
Starrett, through Attorney Stanley

whose acts might have received the
full approval Of any superior officer,
including the President Of the United

subject to criminal indictment for
conspiracy at the instigation of a

administration should happen to dis
agree with the outgoing administra-
ton in matters Of policy or should
wish 10 make political capital out Of
an attack upon its predecessors
The indictment does not show
crime against the United States, Nj
Starrett claims but is a political mat

no jurisdiction. The indictment is
also attacked as duplicitoUs, in thar
it charges "A conspiracy to defrauG
the United States and to commit a
crime against the United States.
