James Rolph, Jr., authorities of Santa Clara county, San Jose and the city and county of San Francisco will be sued by members of the lynched mans family.
 The announcement came from Vincent w. Hallinan and Nathan c. Coghlan, who were retained last Saturday to defend Holmes.
 Governor Rolph will be charged with melting the lynching of Holmes and Thomas Thurmond on the ground that his public state ment before the lynching unframed the mob spirit and caused the hangings, that after the mob began storming the jail, he refused to up hold the law as sworn to do as the states ,chief executive; that af- ter the lynching, he condoned the crime of mob violence"
 Santa Clara county and San Jose authorities will be charged with failure to take proper precautions to prevent the mob from seizing Holmes.
 San Francisco authorities will be named because they permitted Holmes and Thurmond to be transferred from city prison here to the jail at San Jose without a omplaint being filed against them, "a violation of law whereby the prisoners were exposed to lynch ing"
 The two lawyers said heavy damages would be asked
 Tho attorneys statement charg- ed there lis grave question or doubt whether or not an innocent man was. hanged when Holmes was lynched."

Wiggiir1 Corporationh Fox Deal Lost Plenty
Total Loss Was S2,O79,335.44 So Wiggin Told Toe day-Wiggin Also Said Fox Lied About
 Hoover Episode
By LYLE c. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent

N
 Washington, Nov 28.-(UP)- Harley l.. Clarke's motion picture venture which cost the Chase Ma tional Bank and it's affiliate $69,- O00,00O ran up a total loss of $2,- 079, 9,335.44 for Albert H. Wiggin's Sherman Corporation, the banker testified today before the senate stock market investigating commit tee.
 Wiggin's losses were revealed after testimony that he was com pelled by the Chase National Bank to contribute $2,000,O00 from his own Sherman Corporation to offset losses suffered by the Chase Securi- ties Corporation in Clarke's moving picture venture.
 The Chase organization accepted the $1,00O,000 in discharge of afl claims against Wiggin's Sherman Corporation in connection with loans to trading syndicates in Gen. eral Theaters Equipment and Fox Film Securities.
 Several other participants in the syndicates had failed and the bank was unable to collect from them their share of the loans. After Shermar's liability was written down to $1,000,000 and paid off at that figure, the Chase Securities Corporation appears to have as- stunned liability for all or part of other uncollectable loans. The re- spective liability of Wiggins Sher- mar Corporation and the Chase Securities Corporation still is de- batable, the United Press under stands because the various syndi- cate agreements are not specific whether participants are jointly or individually liable for repayment of the bank loans.
 Wiggin's profit and loss state ment showed net loss of $1,240,- 347.22 in 13 syndicates in General Theaters Equipment and Fox Film Securities and a profit of $161,- O11.7S in 12 syndicates in securities of the International Projector and National Theaters Supply com panies. The $1,000,O00 paid to Chase Securities Corporation in discharge of all claims raised his net loss above $2,O00,000.
 : Wiggin denounced to the senate stock market committee as wholly and absolutely false, the sworn testimony of William Fox that in 1923 the banker sent to President
