today by Senator Burton K. Wheeler,

The principal ground for the re-
quest Is that the former prosecutor

jury in the federal court in Mon
tana on a charge based on an ellie

is contained in the District of Col

Besides this plea of former ac-
quittal, Senator Wheeler through his
counsel, Senator Thomas J. Walsh
of Montana, and Charles A. Doug
las, filed a demurrer to the indict-
ment, alleging that the District of
Columbia courts have no jurisdic-
ton over the offense charged.
Arguments on the plea and de-
murrer probably will be heard the
last part of this month. Should
either the plea or the demurrer be
sustained, the prosecution of the
