WASHINGTON Jan. s Rl-Wheels
of the congressional law factory
whirled feveriShly today. but grist
from the mill in the way of legislative
output was just about nil.
Curtis, the. majority leader, ex
planned the situation to tie senate
at the outset. There was, the KAN
san said, only one lonely little bridge
bill on the senate work sheet and
that had been indefinitely postponed
So he suggested lay off until
Monday, which the senate did after
indulging in considerable catch-as-
catch-can discussion OF the 1avorite
topics of several senators, including
Nicaragua.
1t was almost as bad in the house
True, definite legislative project
was up in the shape of the $89 900 0OO
appropriation bill for the state
justice, commerce and lapor Depart
ments. But there seemed to be nc
particular dispute about the items
and with nothing else quite ready
for action, house governors decided
on an oratorical field day to afford
an outlet to members sllrcharged
with words on any old subject.
The discussion ranged from a
somewhat heated tilt over the So
disaster to the bad ventilation of the
senate and house and It's possible
connection with the fact that II
senators and 80 house members have
died in service since 1922.
Fletcher, of Florida, led the way

SINCLAIR, BURNS
THREATEN SUIT
AGAINST JURY

WASHINGTON Jan. I, R-Strik-
ing back at the federal grand jury
that charged Harry F. Sinclair, Will
lam j. Burns and five associates with
conspiracy to ebstruct justice,
counsel for Sinclair announced to-
day that they were considering ser
iouS civil action" against members
Of the jury based on the fact that
no indictments we're returned to sup
port the allegations.
AS a preliminary step toward the
contemplated action, a motion was
filed in the supreme court of the
District of Columbia to expunge from
the court records all mention of a
presentment returned by the grand
jury Friday The presentment was
returned after District Attorney Cor
don had declined to draw up in
dictlnentS, based on it.
The grand jury which for weeks
had investigated the surveillance of
the Fall-Sinclair oili conspiracy jury
by Burns detectives hired by Sim
clair refused to be bound by the
district attorneys action The pre-
sentiment was filed by Chief Justice
Mccoy where it died so far as action
against the persons named was con-
cerned
Martin w. Littleton and George P.
Hoover, Sinclair council and Charles
A, Douglas, counsel for Burns, moved
today to expungeA the presentment
from the records on the ground that
the grand jury had no power to re-
turn such document to the court
without an accompanying indictment.
Counsel held the presentment which
named Sinclair, Burns, w. Sherman
Burns, Henry Mason Day, Sheldon
Clark, Charles G. Ruddy and Frank
j. O'Reilly as being nothing more
than an expression of opinion by
the grand jury,
.Littleton said that in three cases
where grand juries had taken similar
action the presentments had been
expunged and in one, in Iowa, the
court had held the grand jury had
libeled those named District Attor-
ney Gordon said that there was
precedent for the grand jury action

.TALKY JURORS
PARENTS JOIN
in ACCUSATIONS

WASHINGTON Jan. e1-The
parents of Edward j. Kidwell, Jr.,
the talkative juror in the Teapot
Dome Oil conspiracy trial, joined him
today in accusing Assistant District
Attorney James ]. O'Leary OF writing
untrue statements into affidavits in
tended Tor use against Harry F.
Sinclair, William j. Burns and their
four associates, on trial for criminal
contempt of court. aa
Mrs. Mary Pearl Kidwell took the
stand in the court inquiry into
charges that O'Leary intirnidated
government witnesses which has
superseded the actual contempt hear
ing, and asserted that the prosecutor
obtained her signature to affidavits
without her having clear. under
standing OF what they contained.
She declared untrue a statement
that her son had expressed the
opinion he was being shadoWed by
private detectives to see il he was
the kind OF a man who would
accept a bribe. Further she denied
he had said that Sinclair and FAN
would go to any length to bring
about a mistrial in the conspiracy
case if they believed they were going
to be convicted.
The juror, she said, had told
O,Leary he reached this conclusion
after the nistrial had been declared
and had not mentioned either Incl
dent while the case was actually in
court.
Her testimony was supported by
her husband who followed her on
the stand.

Hunts arraignment for January 10.
Thoms was fatally shot when po4
lice officer opened fire on the two
youths when they were engaged in
hcldup of Thoms' drug store on Christ
mas eve. 1926, and at least one of the
pair returned the fire. Hunt has de-
MED that he fired a shot, although the
bullet which wounded, the druggist is
the same calibre as that of Hunts
pistol and does not correspond in size
with HickmanS gun. Both of the in
dicted youths admitted taking part in
the holdup California law provides
that each would be equally guilty of
the murder despite which fired the
fatal shot.
District Attorneys investigators who
have been conducting an inquiry into
the reported suicide last may of A. r.,
Driskell, Hunts grandfather, tonight
declared their conviction that DriskelI
took his own life. The officers said
that suicide notes, which had been
submitted to a handwriting expert in
the belief that they might have been
forgeries, apparently were written by
DriSlzell himself
The investigation of the death Of
Driskell, whose body was found at the
base of a high Pasadena bridge, re-
suited from the confessions of the
youths regarding their career of crime;
the fact thai Driskell was known to
have drawn large sum of money
from the bank short time prior to
his death.
