APPEAL COURT HEARS
COAL CASE ARGUMENT
Considers Justices Ruling Barring
Juror Receiving Disability
Allowance.

The District Court of Appeals YES
terday heard arguments Of counsel on
the appeal of the United States from
decision of Justice Adolph 4
Hoehling of the District Supreme
Court. quashing an indictment against
II Washington coal dealers for
alleged conspiracy to regulate the
price and sale of coal. Justice
Hoehling held that the presence on
the grand jury of a man drawing a
disability allowance from the Gov
ernment yitiated the indictment.
United States Attorney Gordon
argued that the juror had left the
Government service more tnan six
months before being accepted as a
grand juror and the fact that he was
receiving a disability allowance did
not disqualify him. Attorneys Leon
Tobriner and John Lewis SmiIn for
the coal dealers upheld the ruling of
Justice Hoehling.
The men indicted are Ward W.
Griffith. Morris r. NARROW, Samuel
NJ Frazier, l.. Evans White, Otto q.
Raymond, Johnston f. Zimmerman,
j. Edward Chapman. Leonard +.
Steuart, Guy II. Steuart, Maynard e
Burrell and William L. Hummer.
