IN SMITH Co. CASE

Smith Co. case are anticipated this
week in view of statements made to
the Department of Justice by c. Ebert

ments clarifying certain phases Of the
defense the three made to the con-
spiracy charge while the case was on
trial in District Supreme Court
Meanwhile Pitts is being kept alone
in cell at the District Jail. He has
appealed his conviction and was denied
bond by Justice William Hitz until the
Court OF Appeals has passed on his
petition.
Arrangements also are being made
to bring Pitts to trial on an indictment
charging him with embezzling approx
mately 81 100000 from the Smith COM
pany while he was serving as its prin-
cipal executive officer It is believed

OF persons holding bonds sold through
