NEW TRIAL FOR Ex.SLEUTH
Former Secret Service Chief Involved In whiskcy Fraud, Wins Appeal In q. $. Circuit Court.

Philadelphia, Feb. 7.--The United States circuit court of appeals today ordered a new trial for Matthew r. Griffin, former secret service chief in this district, and six other men con victed with him last March in liquor fraud said to have involved large sum of money.
 They were charged with substitut- ing water for whiskey withdrawn from a warehouse ostensibly for ship ment to Greece.
 The circuit court based it's decision on the ground that statement made during the trial by Henry B. Fried man, assistant United States district attorney. tended to prejudice the case against tine defendants.
 Seven other men were involved. Three pleaded guilty, three were ac- quilted and one was never arrested Among the three who pleaded guilty was Harold l.. Smith. former inter- collegiate sprint champion, who was the broker in the supposed exporta- ton of the liquor. He was sentenced to year and a day.
