defunct Union Mortgage Co. of Cleve-
land, who have been convicted in Ohio
State Courts in connection with the
| companys failure, have not had fair
trial was expressed to Senate Com
mittee today by James r. Garfield,
Cleveland attorney.
Garfield referred to the conviction of
S. Chester Crobaugh, president, and
D. D. Kimmel and w. A. easier.
When Senator Walsh, Democrat,
of Montana. asked whether he thought
the convictions were the result of an
'inf1amed public mind" resulting from
widespread financial losses, Garfield re-
piled:
II do not believe those men have had
was fair trial under all the circum-
stances.
Sees Public Prejudice.
IT think that when many persons
have lost money because of a change
in values, the public feels somebody
ought to pay
Garfield, chairman Of the Resolutions
Committee of the Republican National
Convention and son OF the late Presi-
dent Garfield. told the committee he
thought gross injustice had been
done Crobaugh in indicting him alone
III the Federal Court.

ate investigation called for by Senator

Justice Departments handling of the
case against the Union Mortgage Co..
particularly with reference to dismis-
sal Of the indictment against Crobaugh
for alleged use of the mails to defraud
and the failure to obtain Federal in
dictments against other officials of the
company.
Material Not Examined.
Garfield testified he asked the Justice
Department to investigate the matter
after Assistant United States Attorney
Charles l. Russo, at Cleveland, had told
him he had dumped the Crobaugh
evidence on to the grand jury table
without any recommendation.
The witness said Russo told him that
when he joined the United States at
torney's Office he found such a mass of
material accumulated by his predeces-
sor that he had no chance to exam
inc it.
Il stated" said Garfield that I
thought 1t was a very gross injustice to
any citizen for a prosecuting officer to
deal IN that fashion with any case"
