CONVICT JULIAN
TRIAL JUROR
ON FIRST VOTE
New Evidence Against
Berman May Lead To
Other Charges.

LOS ANGELES, July 16. U.P-
charges and the revelation of evi-
dence which may lead to new
charges against Jacob Berman, pro
moter of the ~ill-fated Julian Pc
troleum corporation, today marked
the state s effort to clear up the
$l00, 900. 600 financial fiasco.
The juror, John b. Groves, who
served at the Julian conspiracy trial,
was found guilty by a superior court
jury of accepting a bribe and other
gifts from Berman in return for vot-
ing to acquit the promoter and
other defendants. He will be SEN
tcnced Friday.
Previously Louis Krause, a private
detective, was convicted of acting
as the go-between for Berman in
negotiating the bribes with Groves
largely on testimony of Berman
himself and his brother, Louis Ber-
man. The latter two were jointly
accused with Krause but charges
against them were dismissed when
they turned state s evidence.
The new evidence against Jacob
Berman was laid before the crimi-
nal complaints committee of the
grand jury by Superior Judge b.
Rey Schauer, who said it was un-
covered at Berman $ embezzlement
trial in testimony of Daniel Barnes,
the complaining witness. Barnes,
shown Julian stock certificates in
dorsed cd. Barnes testified he
never signed them.
a forgery count against Berman
was dropped at the trial yesterday
when T. p. Conroy, former Julian
secretary, admitted his own sigma
ture was written on a stock certifi
cate on which the charge was based.
Berman still faced embezzlement
charges, however, and his trial was
resumed today before jury in
Judge Schauer's s court. The promo
ter is an inmate of the Federal pri-
son at McNeil's Island, serving a
seven-year sentence for mail fraud,
and is here under guard to testify
in several Julian trials and defend
himself in the present ease.

been done.
Structures in lialfmoon Bay were
threatened when a fire was dis
covered in Il mercantile store. The
explosion of a tank Of gasoline

ing rocked the town and caused the
flames to spread over half block.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. IT, Secretary of Agriculture Hyde de- clared that $25O0o,000 was suffi- cient to care for drought needs oi stricken farmers.
