CHARGES MORSE
INDICTMENT
IS VOID
Grand Jurer Was Maryland
Resident, Attorney Says, Ask
ing Case Be Quashed.

No sooner had the jury taken
their seats in the box and Justice
Stafford settled down to business
on the bench in the trial of Charles
Morse and his three sons, today,
than Attorney Wilton J. Lambert,
counsel for the Morses handed a
motion to the court asking that
the case against his clients be dis
missed on the grounds that Phillip
J. Medley, member of the grand
jury which had returned an indict-
ment against Morse and the others,
was a resident voter and taxpayer
of Maryland, and therefore not
qualified to sit on the grand jury.
Affidavits supporting these state
ments were attached to the motion
and Attorney Lambert said that in
formation came to his knowledge
Friday.
1t is claimed by the defense that
the indictment is Illegal and invalid
and that the accused should be
discharged.
The court suggested that an ap-
plication for leave to file the motion
be made to the Clerk of Court,
which in due time will be argued.

THE same attempt to eliminate
competition, whether right or
