WRIT LEGALITY
TEST OFFERED

Probably the only opportunity
to test the legality of reindict-
ments by the present Grand Jury
was provided today when that
body reported embezzlement in
dictments against James w. Sher-
man and Altheus j. Sherman,
brothers, who formerly conducted
a travel bureau.
The Grand Jury made a spe-
cial report August 26, charging
them in two count$ with EN-
bezZling a 5000 check from Miss
Jessie Holt, Children's Hospital
employe. as part of the payment
on a projected round-the-world
tour which did not materialize.
The special report was necessi-
tated in that case because the
check was given August q, 1928,
and the indictment would have
been barred by limitations the fol
lowing day.
The present Indictment is based
on a check for a similar amount
obtained from Miss Holt on Sep
tember 81, 1928, and would have
been barred by the statute of limi-
tationS on September 26.
While the two indictments re-
late to separate offenses. they are
laid against the same parties and
it is thought probable that the
same objections might lie if the
Grand Jury had reindicted In
other cases.

BRADFORD, Pa, Sept. 25.-Wil-

Congress will modify the prohibi-
ton law within seven years.
He made this forecast at the
annual meeting of the Genessee

'While any pretense that beer
