Dist. 8332 | ISECREGY OF GRAND JURY HIT BY PITTS Defense Counsel in Smith Case Demands Review of Evidence. | The shroud of secrecy surrounding the proceedings of a grand jury in ‘Washington, long considered inviolate, was the subject of a bitter attack in the District Supreme Court today by Coun- gel for G. Byron Pitts, one of four de- fendants under indictment for an al- leged conspiracy to embezzle funds of the F. H. Smith Co, and to desroy records. Argument Is Heated. The argument which followed the at- tempt of defense counsel to review in open, court proceedings before the grand jury was the occasion for heated ex- changes between counsel, and st one ' point Nugent Dodds, special assistant to { the Attorney General, told the court he [ | “knew absolutely that corrupt practices on the gart of the defendant would im- | mediately follow the’open disclosure of |the grand jury proceedings.” | “Frank G. Raichle, of counsel for | Pitts, raised the point during the trial | before Justice Willlam Hitz of pleas in | abatement to the indictment. The con- | tntion centered around the fiftzenth plea, which charges that Pitts’ rights, | under the fourth and fiftth amendments {to the Constitution were invaded last January by the Government. At that { time, it is his contention, agents of the Department of Justice entered the New York offices of the Smith Co., and without right examined certain books mnd records, obtafing clues which formed the basis for all evidence pre- sented to the grand jury returning the Indictment. Say Evidence Was Illegal. The defense counsel said this morn- ing they had brought their case “to the doors of the grand jury room.” and, in order to show that illegally seized evi- dence was used against Pitts, they must be permitted to reveal the actual pro- ceedings. This can only be done, they contended, by calling to the witness stand, in the present proceeding, all grand jury, or by introduction of steno- graphic notes taken in the grand jury room, by a representative of the De- partment of Justice. ‘This contention was met by Mr. Dodds | with the assertion that defense coun- sel was not acting in good faith; that its sole purpose was to conduct “a fish- | ing expedition,” in quest of the evi dence, which the Government will in- troduce at the actual trial of the de- fendant. “I am convinced” he said, “that the | defense is not acting in good faith, and I know absolutely that corrupt prac- tices on the part of the defendants will immediately follow the disclosure of our_evidence at this time. “I further believe that if the defense is apprised of the nature of our evi- dence, and of the actual testimony which certain individuals may be ex- pected to give at the trial, efforts will be made to get witnesses out of the way and to destroy the evidence. Such & disclosure at this time would be high- ly prejudicial to our case and most un; fair to the Government.” Claims Record Not Official. Mr. Dodds further contended that the record in question was not of an official nature, but taken merely for his own personal use as counsel.

Justice Hitz, after stating that he thought the illegal search and seizure contenticn of the defense was “cf some substance,” asked for authcrities on the point and took the matter under ad- visement. Secretary on Stand. Miss Helen L. Schneider, Pitis’ private secretary, was the only witness on the stand this morning. She testified that the papers on a table in the New York offices of the Smith company, which, according to witnesses yesterday were examined by Government agents, re- lated*to the personal bank account of the defendant in the Southern Mary- land Trust Co. The defense is trying to show that the Government exam- ined these papers illegally, and obtained from the examination clues which en- abled them to secure the rest of the evidence needed for the return of the indictment. The other defendants, in addition to Pitts, are Samuel J. Henry, John H. he | Edwards, jr., and C. Elbert Anadale. Mr. Dodds is being assisted with the Government's case by Assistant United Frank Tolan and Harry S. Barger. RADIO TO AID AIRMEN Four Stations Being Placed on New York-Columbus Line.

Three Presidential Candidates Elected. By the Associated Press PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, October 15.—While American Marines remained in their barracks the people of Haiti yesterday held, without disorder, their first parliamentary election since Amer- ican intervention in the island republic's affairs in 1915, Early returns indicated that three of the presidential candidates—Constantin ard, Charles Zamor and Seymour Pradel—had been elected to the Senate. Orderly crowds assembled in fiont of the newspaper offices here last night to get the latest returns in_the balloting for 15 Senators and 36 Deputies, who will meet in November as a National Assembly to choose Haiti's next Presi- dent from among their number. Th: new chief executive will suc- ceed Eugene Roy, provisional President since May 15, when President Louis Borno completed his eight-year tenure of office. Fifteen men were arrested yesterday on charges of trying to repeat votes at the polls. About 30 were arrested for intoxication, although the saloons were closed while the election booths were open. There were frequent “toasts” to the political success of various candi- dates, rum having been distributed among the voters during the parlia- mentary campaign. ‘While the people of Haiti veted the American Marines stayed in barracks. The Garde D'Haiti, trained by the Ma- rines, was on the alert for any trou- ble. A Garde unit in the capital was called out several times to calm a crowd that included supporters of J. Jolibois PFils, a newspaper man, running for Parliament as a labor leader. The present election is the outcome of the work done here last Spring by President Hoover’s Haitian Commission, ed by W.

The Condor was flown on, empty, despite the bad weather, by Capt. Frank T. Courtney, noted British flyer, who now is associated with ,the Curtiss- Wright interest in this country. Capt.
