ANSWERED UNDER OATH Claim Action Taken by Government Attorneys in Civil Case in Maryland Should Result in the Dismissal of the Criminal Prosecutions - Now Pending in the Federal Court at Detroit. Detroit, 'Feb. 20.—Alleging the indi- vidual defendants in the government’s criminal case against the so called bathtub trust have been granted im- munity by the course of the govern- ment in the civil suit begun in Mary- land, Attorneys Stevenson, Carpenter and Butzel filed a plea in the local federal court to have the criminal case dismissed. _ In the plea it is declared that the subpoenas, served on all the civil suit defendants, required answers under oath and that the defendants filed such answers, and that in these an- swers they disclosed certain facts per- taining to-the things charged against them in the indictments found by the grand jury at Detroit. in the plea, provide immunity for per- duce evidence, documentary or other- in the counts of the indictment. plea, recite that they called the atten- tion of the attorney general, by tele- graph, to the fact that the civil suit subpoenas, required answers under oath and”asked for an extension of time that might possibly be necessary. The reply, they allege, was favorable, giving them permission to have the an- swers sworn to after their filing. It is alleged in behalf of the defend ants that these documentary answers, sworn to and properly filed in Mary- land at the request of the government, give immunity to the defendants, re- gardless of whether they were actually in the suit.

Berlioz bore with her.in patlence until she finally left him. He was a tall man, of stern aspect and very dignified.

Dr. Samuel .G. - Smith, Pastor of the People’s Church, Ap- proached Him in the Interest of a Physician Accused of Perferming a Criminal Operatien. St. Paul, Feb. 20.—Rev. Dr. Samuel | G. Smith, pastor of the People's church and ome of the best known ministers of the city, is accused of seeking to influence & member of the grand jury on a matter pending before that body, in an affidavit signed by Thomas L. ‘Wann, a member of the grand jury. The affidavit was prepared in Coun- ty Attorney O'Brien’s office by Assis- tant County Attorney Ryan and was signed by Mr. Wann. A copy of the afidavit was flled with the clerk of | the district court and Mr. Wann and | Mr. Ryan turnmud Judge Orr with | a copy. Mr. Wann swears that Dr. Smith at- tempted to influence him to secure a “no bill” as to Dr. Eugene Hubbell, a member of Dr. Smith’s congregation, on the charge of having performed a criminal operation ‘on Rose Ibs, from the alleged effect of which the young | woman died at:the city hospital. The grand jury had returned an in- dictment ‘agaist Dr. Hubbell, alleg- | ing manslaughter, and with the re- port of the grand jury Mr. Wann sub- | mitted to Judge Orr a written state-' ment covering the alleged facts as to : Dr. Smith practically as stated in' the grand juror’s affidavit. Dr. Smith, in an interview, insists that he did ‘not attempt to influence - Mr. Wann’s vote, but merely asked| that Mr. Wann inquire of the county attorney whether the evidence in the case was enough, even if uncentro-! verted, to warrant a conviction.
