CASE
PRESENTED To
GRAND JURY
More Than so Witnesses TO
Testify in Case of Accused
States Attorney

With more than fifty witnesses,
waiting to testify, the case Of John
A. Garrett, States attorney for
Montgomery county, Nd, charged
with embezzlement, was presented
to the grand jury today.
Although the majority Of the
witnesses are well-to-do farmers in
Montgomery county, about fifteen
persons from Washington have &C.
cepted summons to appear. Among
the Washington witnesses were G.
w. Clayton, general manager Of
the F. P. May Hardware Company.
Mr.. Clayton said that in 1921
Mr.. Garrett collected a claim Of
5000 for the firm in Rockville, but
failed to turn in the money to the
hardware company.
Two handwriting experts, one
from Washington and one from
Philadelphia, were also on hand to
compare signatures on notes given
clients by Garrett.
The alleged cases against Garrett
are that he took money intrusted
to him by clients for investment
purposes and he failed to make
the proper accounting. County
officials believe that CARROTS ac-
tivities involved more than 100000.
CARROTS conduct of his office as
States Attorney is not involved in
any of the complaints filed so far.
The alleged action for which he
was arrested about two weeks ago
is said to have taken place before
he took office.
Albert M. Bouic, former States
attorney. who was appointed spe-
cial attorney after CARROTS arrest,
probbaly will prosecute the case if
Garrett is indicted.
Garrett has retained Attorney
William E. Leahy, of Washington,
to represent him.
The Allied Asphalt Company to-
day filed suit against Garrett for
$581.74, which they claim is due
them on a promissory note signed
on June %, 1924. According to a
summons issued today Garrett must
appear in court Friday morning to
answer the suit.
