Zihlman of Maryland, chairman of the House dis- trict committee, today decided to attack the lll lty of the indictment pending im rather than stand trial at once on a charge of using the mails to 2 defraud, which 'w out of his aflia- tion with the H. Smith Co. cordingly, his nhornayl filed with the court a plea in abatement. Mr. Zihiman was indicted by the De- cember grand jury along with six other uflCl.lll of the 8mith Co. The others re Daniel R. Crissinger, former con- troller of uu currency; G. Bryan Pitts, lmutlJ Henry, John H. Edwards, jr.; Elbert Anadaie and Henry C. Mad- dux Pleas in abatement were filed in behalf of the other defendants last month and were answered Slturdly by District Attorney Leo A. Ro The plea in abatement l'ued today for Mr. Zihlman attacks the indictment on f:reclsely the same grounds as the pleas behalf of the other defendants. In all, 32 technical reasons were set forth as grounds for declaring the indict- ments invalid. There had been some doubt as to whether Mr. Zihlman would file such a plea, as he had indicated a desire to secure a speedy trial. It was learned today, however, that he had been in- formed he could not be tried in ad- vance of the other six defendan ven if he refrained from filing a plea. He is represented by Wilton J. Lambert and Alvin L. Newmyer INORRIS LIQUOR CASE REOPENED FOR REVIEW By the Assoclated Pr The Government has decided to re- Npen the case of Alfred E.
