CHARGES AGAINST GRAHAM

Results of the September ~
preliminary hearing of The State
versus F. G. Graham, Horny
County clerk of court, before
MAGISTRATE Hobson Smart were
made public Monday in a lengthy
order filed by the magistrate
recording his decision.
Two of the three counts listed
in the warrant charging embez-
zelment have been struck out and
the third count involving alleged
misrepresentation of trust FUNDS
amounting to s2,249.28, will be
presented to the grand jury at
the October term. If the grand
Jury finds true bill, the case
will be tried at an early date.
The two counts dismissed in
volved the sums of SS,915.65 for
fees and cancellations and 81,
$50 for fines. It was brought out
that Mr.. Graham repaid the
County Treasurer the amount
mentioned for fines after tht

justification for the dismissal OF
the third item but for one fact
of SERIOUS concern" that Mr.
Graham had drawn a check OF
$1,000 against the trust funds tc
60 against the fines account
which would amount to private
use constituting enlbezzlement.

Contempt Trial Jury
Hears Witness Tell
Of Bookie Syndicate

A District Court jury of six men
and six women heard a prosecu-
ton witness testify on the Gov
ernment's 80 charges of contempt
Of Congress lodged against Harry
Russell, SO. of Chicago and Miami.
The trial began yesterday.
Today's witness was Alfred M.
Klein. associate counsel of the
Special Senate Committee to In
vestigate Crime in Interstate Com
merce. Russell refused to answer
questions before the group last
September on grounds of possible
standardization.
Mr.. Klein's testimony was begun
after Judge F. Dickinson Let's
ruled on several technical ques-
tions in connection with the trial.
Although Russell is charged in
an indictment with refusal to
answer so questions, Mr.. Klein
testified the defendant actually
refused to answer lot questions,
but that he did answer some
others.
Mr. Klein testified that Russell
had become a partner in what is
known as the S and G syndicate
at Miami Beach. The attorney
said it had been estimated that
the syndicate had between 200
and 800 bookmakers operating
under it.
The committee official testified
that actually questions which
Russell is charged with refusing
to answer before the Senate Com
mittee were asked at a meeting
of subcommittee which was au-
thorized to act for the whole group.
The Senate Committee has de-
scribed Russell as "well-known
Chicago racketeer"
Assistant United States Attor-
ney William Hitz, who is prose-
cutting Russell, indicated yester-
day that Attorney Klein may be
the only Government witness.
Among the contempt charges
are those accusing Russell of fail
ing to answer questions as to
whether he knew anything about
the cutting of the Chicago racing
wire service to S. & G. before
. he became a partner in the syndi-
cate.
Another question was as to
whether he knew anything about
threats of violence which might
have been made to the S. & G..
Syndicate, Miami, unless it took
him in as the sixth partner"
In his opening statement yes
terday, Mr.. HitZ argued that
whether Russell had a right to re-
fuse to answer the questions for
fear of standardization is a
matter of law" and not a ques-
ton for the jury to decide.
Defense Attorney William H.
Collins rose to say he believes this
a matter for the jury to decide.
