COURT DENIES
ANY PREJUDICE
AGAINST LEWIS
Former Julian Lea d e r
Must Stand Trial On
Bribery Charge

LOS ANGELES, May 81. WH-
S. C. Lewis, federal convict and
former Julian Petroleum Corpora
ton president, must stand trial on
jury bribing charges before Super
ior Judge Emmet Wilson, it was
ruled today when his affidavit of
prejudice against the juror was
found. to be without merit.
The decision was made by Super
ior Judge Warren Tryon of Del
Norte county after hectic and
semi-humorous hearing in which
Lewis sought unsuccessfully to file
affidaTits of prejudice against
Judge 1ryon also.
Judge Tryon was appointed by
Chief Justice William Waste to pre-
side at the hearing when it was
learned that Lewis intended to at
tempt to show that Judge William
Doran, originally appointed to heal
the prejudice matter against Judge
Wilson, also was prejudiced.
In refusing to permit Lewis tc
file affidavits against himself
Judge Tryon ruled that the oil pro.
moter had definitely opened his
case by the calling of witness to
testify when the hearing was sched.
uled to open three days ago.
Lewis apparently had hoped to
continue his case indefinitely by
filing affidavits of prejudice
against all jurists.
When Judge Tryon refused to en-
tertain an affidavit against himself
Lewis became almost hysterical.
The oil promoter said he was GER
tain that Judge Tryon knew that
Judge Doran had written to Judge
Waste asking for the appointment
of another jurist for the hearing.
"I demand the right to file this
affidavit of prejudice against you,"
Lewis shouted. 81 do not feel that
l can trust myself to you. | insist
that | be permitted to file this
against YOU"
81 deny you that right" Judge
Tryon ruled. "We will now proceed
with the hearing OF your charges of

swered. 81 have nothing to present
before you as am charging that
you are prejudiced."
