Paddock Proceedings viii Be
Brought Where Evidence
Warrants, He Says.

Capt. Harold circuit, assistant United
States attorney in charge of prohibition
cases, today was studying the police list
of 40 alleged "speakeasies." where re-
peated violations of the Volstead act are
said to occur, with view to bringing
paddock proceedings against each of the
premises if the facts are found to~war-
rant such action.
The list was supplied from a survey
of conditions In the various precincts
ordered by Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, retir-
ing superintendent of police, at the re-
quest of United States Attorney Leo A..
Rover.
Capt. Orcutt explained today that
other lists are expected from the Police
Department from time to time, as has
been the case In the past. Both he and
Mr.. Rover have declined to make public
the names of the proprietors or the
places which the police charge with be-
ing "nuisances' until Injunction suits,
If any, are filed.
Following a conference with his chief
late yesterday, Capt. circuit issued a
statement which declared that each of
these reports sets forth information rel
ative to the bringing of potential pad
lock proceedings to abate nuisances on
said premises for violations therein of
the national prohibition act
These reports are being studied by
this Office, with a view of ascertaining
whether the evidence warrants the
bringing of such proceedings against
such premises, and after the necessary
study of such reports has been made
and the necessary evidence to support
such proceedings has been laid before
this office injunction proceedings will
be brought against each Of the premises
referred to in these reports. where the
facts warrant such action"
Howard Expresses Opinion.
While believing that the speakeasy
situation in Washington has vastly i'm
proved" recently, Clinton N. Howard
chairman of the National United Com
mittee for Law Enforcement, today is
sued statement in which he said he
did not believe that the 40 alleged
speakeasies for which padlocks have
been asked by police constitute the
total number of places in the Capital
at which drinks can be bought.
There may be 5000 such places, as
Federal Prohibition Commissioner Do
ran testified DR. Howard stated today.
DR.. Howard stated his organization
has the numbers of 10 unlisted tele-
phones, where orders can be placed for
liquor and none of these places Is in
cluded in the list for which padlocks
are being sought, he said.

Five Jurors Admit Reading
Review of Numerous
Indictments.
COURT SAYS PUBLICATION
OF ARTICLE is "0UTRAGE"
All Witnesses Are Excused When
Chief Justice Mccoy Sets
Retrial for April 15.'

The trial of Edna Gray, colored. on 9
criminal operation charge, came to ar
unexpected end today in Criminal Dlvl-
sion / of the District Supreme Court
when Chief Justice Walter I. Mccoy
granting a motion made by defense
counsel, abruptly dismissed the jury OF
IL men because five of the jurors hao
admitted reading a review of the many
indictments against the defendant which
appeared in newspaper this morning
Characterizing the publication OF the
article as "a gross outrage on the ad-
ministration of Justice Chief Justice
Mccoy. in ordering the withdrawal OF
the jury from the case, set the GRAY
case for retrial before a new jury
April Is.
AS soon as court convened for the
second day of the trial of the woman
who is under $4,000 bonds in connec-
ton with various charges ranging from
murder to abortion, her counsel. Ber-
trand Emerson. called the attention OF
the court to the published article. He
asked how many of the jurors had read
the story and five of them raised their
hands.
After calling Mr.. Bertrand and AS
sistant United States Attorney Walter
M. Shea into conference, the Chief
Justice said he would entertain motion
by defense counsel to declare nlistrial
In the case. Chief Justice Mccoy placed
the blame for the mistrial on the news
paper.
I'VE hear a great deal today from
the papers about things in the admins
tration of justice being wrong" Chief
Justice Mccoy told the jury. We
hear tsat the public is not always get
4 RI
peditious and fair administration of
Justice. But what could do more to
prevent the expeditions administration
of Justice than the publication OF that
one article"
Chief Justice Mccoy explained his
reasons to the jurors for dismissing
them by telling them each should put
himself in the position of the defendant,
who, in event an unfavorable verdict
should be returned, would feel that she
had not received a fair trial at their
hands. No matter how hard each
Juror would try to dismiss the facts
from his mind, he said, it would be
impossible.
II don't. know how much you read
In the papers he continued to tell the
Jury, about the administration of
justice In the criminal courts. If there
is anything wrong about the admins
tration Of Justice, it isn't altogether due
to those inEthe district attorneys office. !"
All the witnesses in the case were ex-
cused by the court when Chief Justice
Mccoy, in granting the request OF
Prosecutor Shea, set the case for re-
trial April Is. He announced the jury
would not be finally discharged, but
would be held in event of any emer-
gency case in which they could properly
sit.
