KEARNS' STATEMENT
100 Other Defendants To
Be Tried In Gulf
nj, City

MOBILE, Ala, April 5.--(By Asso-
eiated Press. AFTER being out two
ksars the jury in the case of Percy H.
Kearns, Mobile attorney, charged with
bribery of government prohibition
agents, came in court tonight and re-
ported to Federal Judge r. T. Erwin
that they were unable to reach a YER
dict. When questioned the jurors said
they could not agree on the facts.
The governments case is that Kearns
acted as a "fixer" for an alleged Mo-
bile liquor combine and that he paid
over 10 NJ. T. Gonzaullas, a federal
prohibition agent, a total Of 81, 100, ac-
eording to the testimony of the latter,
between the months of July and octo-
Der, 1923.
The defendant admitted that he de-
Hvered the money to Gonzaullas, but
charged that it was given him by
Aubrey Boyles, federal district attor-
nAy of this city, who claimed that
Boyles told him it was plan to test
the prohibition agent. Kearns swore
that the first amount Of money de-
hvered to Gonzanllas was 5000, the
prosecution naming the amount as
$500.
Boyles on the witness stand denied
the statements Of Kearns and swore
that plans had been made many months
previously at Washington to trap the
members of the Mobile liquor ring.
The case was concluded this after
noon at 4 :5S o'clock after a trial last
ing three days, during which time the
crowds were unable at times to gain
admittance to the court room.
MOBILE, April 5.-Taking the wit
ness stand in federal court here this
morning, United States District Attor-
ney Aubrey Boyles denied charges made
~ Percy H. Kearns, lawyer defendant,
in MS testimony yesterday that money
paid by Kearns to NJ. T. Gonzaullas,
federal prohibition agent, for protection
OF liquor interests was given him by
Boyles. Kearns testified that he had
Formed a law partnership with Boyles !;
that under Boyles' direction he took a
total Of $2,400 to Gonzaullas over q
period of four months, which he said he
understood was part of plan of the
district attorney to catch crooked
federal agent"
From the witness stand this morning,
Boyles denied all of Kearns' statements.
He denied he ever gave Kearns any
money TO give to Gonzaullas; denied he
ever formed law partnership with the
defendant, and said he knew nothing of
the money given to Gonzaullas.
The government by three prohibition
witnesses has proved that money was
paid to GonzaulIas by Kearns In q
hotel room on four different occasions.
Each testified that they heard Kearns
tell Gon3Aullas at the time that the
money was to protect six men engaged
In the liquor business here.
Widespread interest has been at
tached to the trial Of the case due to the
fact that KeArns Is the first of probably
100 defendants under various indict-
ments in connection with the liquor
traffic in Mobile, following the whole
sale raids and arrests here last Novem-
Der by government forces.
