Mr. Crouch then was taken be- fore a bondsman and furnished bail for his appearance before the January term of the Fairfax Cougty grand jury. “I positively state that all of us were sober that entire day and at no time were under the influence of liquor. I further state that we were entirely in- nocent of misconduct of any . kind.

The unfortunate occurrence wherein the driver of the car in which I was riding was arrested for speeding, in which case a charge was made against me of intoxication, and the consequent publicity given the case have created considerable embar- rassment to myself, the court and other members of the grand jury. “I submit to your honor that neither myself nor the other occupants of the acter during this inspection.” As soon as Chief Justice McCoy ar- rived at the courthouse this morning he held a conference with United States Attorney Rover and Assistant United States Attorney Wiliam H.
