CARROLL INDICTED
ASBATH PERJURER
Producer Held Under Bond
After Witnesses Insist
Girl Was in Tub.
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 2.-Indicted for
perjury as an aftermath of his bath
tub party. Earl Carroll theatrical
producer. was confronted today with
the prospect of heavy fine and i'm
prisonment.
: Federal grand jury has indicted
him on six counts for swearing thai
the party on February % was dry.
and that there was no one nude or
otherwise. in hathtub filled with
liquid. variously described as fruit
Juice, ginger ale and wine. The grand
jury believed testimony of other wit
nesses that the party was wet, and
that somebody had bath.
The maximum penalty on each
count of the indictment is five years
imprisonment and $4,000 fine. 1t
lies within the discretion of the court
whether sentences on each convic-
ton may run successfully, which
would mean a maximum of 80 years
imprisonment, or concurrently.
Pleads Not Guilty.
Carroll, who is producer of several
Broadway shows featuring feminine
beauty, was arrested after the in
dictment was returned yesterday.
He pleaded not guilty and furnished
$4,000 bond. His counsel requested
an early trial.
Instead of leaving for New Or
leans today as he had planned. the
producer found himself confined to
the Southern judicial district which
means he cannot even visit Brooklyn
until the case is over.
Among the witnesses who appeared
before the grand jury was Joyce
Hawley, a show girl. who retained
lawyer TO bring suit against Carroll
for 81 900, which she said he prom
ised her for her bath. The producer
gave her $50 and told her to forget
It, she said several weeks ago.
Carroll now has for consolation the
statement of Federal officials that
he could have easily eluded indict-
ment They said that the grand
fury was not interested in the moral
side of the party. but only wanted
10 know where so much liquor came
from. Under the prohibition law
the theatrical producer automatically
was granted immunity from prose-
cution on the liquor charges through
his own testimony.
Three Lies Charged.
But this immunity. Federal Attor-
ney Buckner said. did not apply to
perjury, because it might result in
the Government trading immunity
for evidence and getting in return
only false testimony.
The indictment charges that Car
roll lied to the grand jury on three
specific points. The principal accu
sations were that he testified he had
no record of the guests at the party:
that no intoxicating liquor was
served. and that no one got into the
bathtub at any time while the party
was in progress.
Carroll. who is "a years old, was
arrested in November. 1924, for dis
playing paintings of his show girl:
in front of his theater. FTe protested
it was all in the name of art and was
acquitted.

Judge Morton in support of a petition

ment.
Hays attacked the Watch and Ward
Society and its secretary, j. Frank
Chase. who ordered the suppression of
the magazine. He compared the So
ciety's policy of intimidation" 20 that
of the Ku Klux Klan.
Edmund A. Whitman, counsel for
the Watch and Ward, argued that
the plaintiffs do not come into court
with clean hands"
Their publication" ne said, has
been barred from the mails and the
petition should be dismissed"
The controversy over the magazine
reached the court stage a week ago,
when Mencken permitted himself to be
arrested after selling a copy of his
publication TO Chase. A Municipal
Court judge found the editor not
guilty of selling obscene literature, as
had been charged.
This view was not shared by Judge
Stone Of the Cambridge District Court,
who yesterday fined Felix Caragianes,
a newsdealer, 500 for selling obscene
literature. The charge was based on
sales of the magazine.
Judge Stone held that The article in
the magazine on which it's suppression
was based was indecent and obscene
and would tend to have a corrupting
influence on the youth of the country.
Caragianes testified that the 35 copies
he sold went to Harvard professors
and students.
