Young into charges by Count Albert Sichofsky, Polish adventurer, that large sums of his money disap- peared while he was held in Folsom Prison and in the Los Angeles County Jail, was in the making here today. On receipt of word from New York that Sichofsky, who was taken there recently for deportation after serving a sentence at Folsom, had obtained a writ of habeas corpus, returnable Sep- tember 17, on the strength of his story that he had been stripped of his wealth and was being rushed out of the coun- try without a chance to regain it, Gov.

The count charged that while serv- ing a sentence on a bunko charge Thomas A. Gannon, former member of the State prison board, advised him to pay out $16,680 to satisty the costs and verdict of an alleged civil action against the adventurer. Sichofsky said he sub- sequently learned that $12,680 of this sum went to Gannon.

Jimison, chief of the de- fense counsel, announced here today. The mob, which formed after the trial of ‘the labor leaders and strikers had been called a mistrial because of sudden insanity of one of the jurars, milled about the apartment house oc- cupied by Mr. Jimison Monday night. He was not at home at the time, how- ever. Mr. Jimison said it was unlikely the defense would ask for a change of venue. He sald there was no dis- cussion of this in the conference of the defense attorneys Tuesday after the three men, who were taken by members of the mob te & lonely spot near Con- cord where one of them was beaten, were brought back to Charlotte. ‘The attorney said he was of the opin- fon that even in the event the defense should desire a change of venue, it would have no right to ask for it.
