ACTION LIKELY
IN OIL MISTRIAL
Judge Chooses Committee
to Decide If Charges
Should Be Filed.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-A sud-
den development pointing to posi-
BILE contempt action against num-
Der of principals in the Fall-Sinclair
mistrial and jury tampering charges
came today from Justice F. l.. Sid
dons. the oil trial judge.
Siddons appointed a committee of
three, including United States Dis
trict Attorney Peyton Gordon, to in
vestigate whether criminal contempt
proceedings were justified and to
bring such action if warranted.
Meanwhile, Charles G. Ruddy,
who directed Burns agents in shad-
owing the oil trial jurors, testified
before the grand jury for an hour
and a half today, while w. j. Burns,
detective chief, and his sons, W..
Sherman and Raymond Burns,
waited III the corridors with theiT
Sleuths.
Given Long Quiz
Ruddy's long appearance before
the grand jury occasioned surprise,
as he already had been questioned a
dozen times before that body. Rud-
dy conferred with w. j. Burns when
he came out.
Neil Burkinshaw called w. Sher-
man Burns aside for a conference
as the grand jury adjourned for
lunch.
The Burns agents were released
from subpoena by the Government.
w. j. and w. Sherman Burns and
Ruddy were held for further ap-
pearances, however, and William j.
McNullin, Government informer
who worked in Burns employ under
the alias William v. Long," also re-
manned here.
The BurnSes expect to appear be-
fore the grand jury this afternoon
to deny that w. j. Burns knew
Longs affidavit charging Govern
ment jury-tampering was falsif1ed.
Long shuns Comrades"
Long stayed in the district attor-
neys office today, apart from his
former colleagues in jury-shadow-
ing. Their release came on request
of w. j. Burns, who pointed - out
that all had appeared and that they
had lost more than two weeks time
in the grand jury investigation.
Government attorneys dismissed
with a laugh an alleged mystery"
witness in the case, who motored
here from Philadelphia yesterday
with McMullin.' The man, is was
said, merely was an acquaintance
who had some knowledge of Nc
Mullins dual activities, but after
conference it was found he had no
information.
He probably will not be called
before the grand jury, it was said.
