SEEK TO QUASH
INDICTMENTS IN
INSURANCE CASE

Opening the series Of legal
nlaneuyers which will proceed a
superior court trial, Ernest r.
Utley and II. w. Judson, attorneys,
today filed in superior court mo-
tions to quash the indictment and
pleas to abate the indictment Of II
Los Angeles business men indicted
. by the 1930-3l county grand jury
on charges Of grand theft, crimi-
nal conspiracy and conspiracy to
violate the corporate securities act
Of California.
District Attorney Elmer w.
Heald and S. L. McCrory, his
deputy, are the objects of a bitter
attack in each of the motions and
pleas filed on behalf of four de-
PENDANTS. The defendants are
r. K. Stephens, Bert Bane, M.
Penn Phillips and E. r. Mullen.
Filing Of these papers followed
Judge A. c. Finney's action yester-
day in setting January 90 as the
date for hearing arguments on the
motions, which had not yet been
filed. January "a was set as the
last date for filing of the papers.
McCrory, who was chiefly instru-
mental in securing the indictments
by the county grand jury, is made
the object of the most bitter at
tack in the motions to quash the
indictment. One Of the charges
contained in the motions is that
McCrory, at a hearing between
November 5 and 10, implied by his
looks, actions ana language that
there was something dishonest
about the conduct of the grand
jury in failing to indict the Los
Angeles insurance men.
But for the insistence Of the dis
trict attorney and his deputy the
indictments would not have been
returned, 1t is charged.
Among other charges, the motion
alleges, McCrory misrepresented
the financial status of the Los An
geles Underwriters, Inc, to the
grand jury, and stated he was sure
he had sufficient evidence to war
rant a conviction. 1t is also
charged he said, upon one occa-
sion and in the grand jury room,
that the dam bunch of Jews ought
to be in the penitentiary."
1t was also pointed out to the
grand jury the district attorneys
office was being severely criticized
because no indictment had been
returned, the motion charged.
