The 167 are included in a blanket indictment, possibly the largest ever returned in the United States, charg- ing conspiracy to violate the nation- al prohibition law. The largest court- room in the historic old federal build- ing will, according to careful esti- mates, hold only 150 persons, includ- ing judge, jury, attorneys, defend- ants, newspapermen and spectators. Among the “higher-ups” who are | scheduled to be tried when the case comes up in November are men; ae in police and political cir- cles, Defendants Prominent They include: Superintendent Peter P. Walsh of the Pittsburgh police depart- ment. Police Inspectors Charles ! nigh John J. McArdle and 4 ; Sweeney and foun W. Orie. Luke Sullivan and Samuel J. Grenet, members of the Pennsyl- vania legislature. In _addi to these notables, po- die Cone ward chairmen, re- ace officers, policemen, a eoneta , @ former prohibition agent and many alleged “fixers” are named in the indictment. Police Lieutenant Samuel Graham, nationally known as & golfer, is also a defendant. against Supt. Walsh in the indictment is fairly indicative of the others. It alleges that during 1926 and 1927 Supt. Walsh “did know and did permit certain liquor dealings in concessions for the unlaw- ful traffic pf intoxicating liquor by various sok] within the said city of Pitts!

They were disillusioned when the grand jury met and indicted 167 persons. U. S. Di . trict Attorney John D. Meyer and Assistants Ralph Smith and Joseph Richardson marshaled 1158 witnesses , before the grand jurors to tell their story. It is likely that many of them will be called as witnesses at the trial. All but a few of the 167 Gare ants have been arrested and U. S. Marshal James C. McGregor feels sure he will have the rest by the — the trial begins. The court clerk has approximately $800,000 in rop- ey impounded as a result of the indictment. Inder the law, each defendant is entitled to an attorney. Should each | Amundsen Reports seen nothing. Not Substantiated Oslo, Norway, Aug. 30.—(AP)— Inquiries late today failed to sub- stantiate rumors of the finding of wreckage of the Latham plane in which Roald Amundsen and five companions disappeared in June while en route to Spitzbergen to aid in search for the missing Italia crew. None of the three places—Harstad, Melbo and Stokmarnes, all in North Norway and mentioned in connec- tion with the rumors—know any- thing of the alleged wreckage, and similar inquiries along the coast! were equally fruitless, no one being found who knew anything about it. The Norwegian trawler Michael | Sars is in these waters, but in a! dispatch to the French cruiser Stras- bourg today reported that she had MANY CONDOLE SORLIE FAMILY) Messages of condolence continue to rrive in Bismarck for the bereaved ‘family of the late Governor Arthur G. Sorlie. Among the group received was a telegram from Sam Baker, governor lof Missouri, who said, “Mrs. Baker joins me in heartfelt sympathy on the ig away of Governor Sor- lie.” U.S. Senator Gerald P. Nye wires, “Mri ‘ye and I offer our deepest and sincere sympathy. The state and jall of us have lost heavily but we realize that yours is the greatest loss. I shall be at Bismarck Thurs- inbjorn Johnson, former chief justice of the North Dakota supreme ; court, sent the following message from Albert Lea, Minn., “Esther joins me in this expression of sor- row and condolence on the occasion of your hushand’s death. We shall miss his kindly spirit.” Congressman J. H. Sinclair wires | from Seattle, Was You have my deepest sy mpathy in your great be- reavement.” Ralph Budd, president of the Great Northern Railway, says, “Mrs. Budd and I want you to know that we are thinking of you and sympathizing in your great sorrow.” A message from James S. Milloy, secretary of the Greater North Da- kota association, follows: “Officers and members of the Greater North Dakota association mourn the pass- ing of a man who coupled with the execution of his duties as chief ex- ecutive of the state a vision of the state’s future.
