APPEAL

The Government won an
other round today in the long
legal battle to bring to trial
tie defendants IN the oil scan
dial.
The District Of Columbia
Court Of Appeals sustained q
Government motion to dismiss
! special appeal which had
been taken by attorneys for
ex-Secretary of the Interior
Albert B. Fall, Harry F. SIN
clair and Edward u. Doheuy
against the original indict-
ment against them.
Unless attorneys for the indicted
men now carry an appeal against
f0day's decision to the United
States Supreme Court-which is
probable-it means that Fall, Sim
clair and Doheny will have to go
to trial in Criminal Court here or
the indictments.
No written opinion was handed
down in today's decision, the court
merely granting the oral motion
Of the Governments to dismiss the
special appeal which Justice Stat
ford granted some months ago.
The courts action was predicated
on a new law, passed in the last
Congress at the instance of Senator
Thomas J. Walsh. Cd of Montana,
who worked up the "oil scandal"
This law deprives the Court Of Ap-
peals of its power to grant special
appeals in criminal cases. Attor-
neys for the indicted men had at
tackled this new law as a legisla-
tive invasion Of judicial functions.

Defendants Not in Court
Granting of the motion enables

Reared strictly in the faith of his
fathers, he attended st. Dominic s
Church in Southwest Washington
every Sunday. He prayed for the
repose Of the souls OF the Marines
who had gone before him.
His Latin temperament encour-
aged the religious fervor which
played a large part in his life. His
Rosary was his companion.
Then slowly, gradually that faith
began to be decay: to be replaced
by such satisfactions as he found
on street corners, in pool rooms, and
in the admiration of his gang" for
his nerve.
"Man To Be Feared"

None Of the three bandit
bullets which took the life Of
Police nan Leo W. e. Busch
were fired from the two guns
now in possession Of police,
The Washington Times learned
today. This discovery threat
ems seriously to hinder the
case being drawn up against
the four men under arrest in
connection with the murder.
Detectives have been combing
the city for 4 hours in an
effort to locate the death
dealing gun.
Wrecks Police Case
While several assistant district
attorneys today prepared the case
for a hearing before the grand
jury Monday at 10 a. M, police
officials wondered and worried
about this first flaw in their case
against Nicholas Lee Eagles,
Samuel Marine, john F. McCabe
and John Proctor. Hitherto the
case had been thought impreg-
nable, and a verdict of first de-
gree murder against the defend
ants was anticipated.
Announced By Experts
Now it is feared that the findings
Of Major c. H. Goddard may provide
an escape from the strictest pun
ishment for these held.
Major Goddard examined the four
bullets fired into the bodies Of Po-
Iicemen Busch and Ach while stop
ping in Washington on a trip from
Mexico to New York.
His findings were never made
public, the strictest secrecy shroud-
ing them at detective headquar-
ters.
Goddard stated definitely, how
ever, that one of the guns used was
an liver Johnson revolver.
Beyond that the public was not
informed of the gun experts find
ings.
When questioned concerning the
starting discovery that none of the
death bullets were fired by the two
guns recovered at the scene of the
shooting, Inspector Pratt said to-
day:
IT have no statement to make
with regard to any examination
made by Major Goddard of the
fatal bullets fired by the bandits
in the shooting.
my information or evidence OBJ
tanned by US in the case will be
laid before the United States Dis
trict Attorney for his preparation

Confessions Add to Mystery
The mystery raised by Major
Goddard's verdict is heightened by
the alleged confessions Of the men
held.
Samuel Marine had admitted fir.
ing shots at the policeman as they
chased the. bandit quartet, and he
has identified one OF the guns as
