DEESON DELAYED ONCOALEN'PLEA Validity of Indictment Against Eleven Local Dealers Ques- tioned by Attorneys. Justice Hoehling of the District Su- preme Court today took under advise- ment the plea in abatement filed by the eleven local coal merchants who were indicted in April, 1921, on a charge of conspiracy to restrain the coal trade and to regulate the price of fuel, Attorneys Leon Tobriner, Edwin C. Brandenburg and John Smith, repre- senting the accused dealers, attacked the validity of the indictment on the plea that George H. Van Kirk, one of the grand jurors who reported the in- dictment, was disqualified to sit on the grand jury because he was an em- ploye of the United States. United States Attorney Gordon upheld the in- dictment and claimed that Van Kirk had resigned from the service of the government before he was called on the grand jury, and the fact that he was in receipt of disability compensa- tion from the government did not make him an “employe” within the meaning of the law. Van Kirk dled July 24, 1921, and counsel today submitted to Justice Hoehling an agreed statement of facts in reference to his employment. This statement discloses that his resigna- tion as a clerk went into effect Octo- ber 16, 1920, and he was called on the | grand jury in January, 1921, and| served until April. The accused merchants are: Ward W. Grifiith. Morris 1. Marlow, Samuel M. Frazier, L. Evans Whi J. Edward Chapman, Leonard P. Steu- art, Guy T. Steuart, Maynard C. Bur- Tell and William F. Hummer.
