"After a careful physical and
mental examination, the hearing of
the testimony and review of the
history of the same, we find said
George Remus insane.

moral, lacking sense of ethics,
emotionally unstable, being subject
to unrestrained outbreaks of temper
and rage and ego-eccentric in n
pathological degree.

SINCLAIR
CHARGES
PILE UP
Presentment Returned by
Grand Jury Against Oil
Man and Six Others.
ALLEGE CONSPIRACY
No Indictments Expected
AS Aftermath of Jury
Espionage.
Nv United Press Leased Wi


WASHINGTON, Dee. 30.-The
District of Columbia grand jury
which investigated the Fall-Sinclair
mistrial today returned n present
ment charging conspiracy 20 OBJ
struct justice against Harry +.
Sinclair, multi-millionaire defendant
in that trial, and six others.
The other named in the present
ment were:
Henry Mason Day, vice president
of the Sinclair Exploration Com
pany and director of the espionage
of trial jurors by Burns detectives; :;
Sheldon Clark, Chicago, vice presi-
dent of the Sinclair Refining Com
pany; William j. Burns, New York,
founder of the Burns Detective Ag-
ency; w. Sherman Burns, New
York, executive officer of the ag-
cncy; Charles G. Ruddy, head of the
ID Burns agents who shadowed the
jury; Frank j. O'Reilly, Burns
agent, and contact man between the
agents and Day.
The grand jury charge arises
from the minute by minute espion-
age of the trial jurors by Burns de-
tectives in the employ of Day. Day
is charged with having hired the
men for Sinclair.
The same ground is covered in n
contempt of court charge against
Sinclair, Day, Clark, the two Burns
and c, l.. Veitsch, Baltimore Burns
manager. The contempt case is in
recess after three weeks of testi-
mony and will be resumed next
tuesday.
A grand jury prcsentment is us
nally the prelude to the Indictment.
United States Attorney Peyton Cor
don, for a reason not so far eX-
planned, has obtained no indictment
in this case, however. Indictments
are necessary for criminal prosecu-
tion of persons charged with of
fenscs in such presentments.
No Indictments
Gordon announced after filing of
the prescntmcpt that no indictments
would be returned. This precludes
possibility of prosecution on these
counts Mt this time.
"In view of the present contempt
proceedings not having been con.
cluded, thought it best at the
present time not to return an indict-
ment charging the persons present
ed" Gordon explained.
The grand jury action was taken
to advise the country that the jury
thought the charges were justified,
it was stated authoritativcly. 1t
was said the 81 men and one Young
woman of the grand jury did not
want to be placed before the coun-
try as having disregarded the ser
ious charges made by the govern
ment after the mistrial of the oil
case.
Chief Justice Walter I. Mccoy of
the District of Columbia supreme
court accepted without comment the
grand jury reports rendered by
Foreman Dorsey w. Hyde, Jr., prom.
incnt business man and dismissed
the jury.
Persons acquainted with the sit
Nation said they believed it ended
this ease although the next grand
jury may revive it and renew the
investigation if desired, they point
ed out.

League last year Hudlin hurried to Cleveland. He arrived at 6 a. m. one morning and was sent into the pitchers box that afternoon before a large crowd. He came through in good shape.
 Weakness of the Indians this year permitted Hudlin to get regular turn in the box. In the first two months of the year he won seven games. five of which he started. Tn the other two he went in with a two and three-run handicap and worked his way out.
 Much of his success is due to the fact that he takes his work seriously and keeps cool. He studies each batter and when he outsmarts him he starts thinking about the next man up instead of how clever MT. Hudlin is.
 He has control of fine fast bal! and fine curve. He has acquired that intangible quality-that sort of seasoning necessary to a successful. big leaguer very early-having a "tone" that usraily requires a re. cruit several years to develop.
