!. G. Bryan Pitts, chairman OF the
board Of the F. H. Smith Co.; M. c. FL
bert Annadale, secretary OF the COM
many, and Gustav C. Hertz. charged
with perjury in connection with testi-
pnony given before referee in bank
inptcy In proceedings in relation to the
Hamilton Hotel Co., which. formerly
conducted the Hamilton Hotel, at Four
teenth and K streets, today filed pleas
IN abatement to the indictments re-
ported against them some months ago.
They attacked Eugene e. Thompson,
foreman of the grand jury, which in
dicted them. and Leroy J. Mccarthy,
member of the jury, claiming ooth 70
have been disqualified TO sit on the
panel.
Thompson, it Is claimed is director
Of the Potomac Electric Power Co.,
which company has contracts with the
United States and which would make
him ineligible to sit on grand jury.
IN reference to Mccarthy, the plea Is
made that he holds a commission In the
United States Army, being a hrSt
lieutenant in the Air Service Of the
Officers' Reserve Corps and being sub
feet to call for duty and being In the
pay of the United States during the
time ne Is so recalled to duty. AS
third plea, to break down the indict-
ment, it ID claimed that the proper
method was not followed in bringing
the alleged perjury to the attention OF
United States Attorney Rover.
It Is claimed that the bankruptcy
act. being special legislation and pro-
vidine new offenses, sets forth the
method to be adopted when referee IN
bankruptcy suspects that false testi-
mony has been given before him. The
act provides that the referee shall certl-
fy the matter to the district attorney
and the claim is made that no such
certif1cation or reference was made by
the referee in this case, but that the
proceedings before the grand jury were
undertaken on the initiative OF the
United States attorney.
One Charge May Fail.
Should the disqualification be upheld
nv the court and the indictment be
oi,ashed, at least one charge against
a. BRYAN Pitts would fail because OF
the expiration of the statute OF liml-
tAtions. the alleged acts having been
committed more than three years age
now.
