FUEL TRIAL
NEEDS NEW
VENIRE
Western's Officials Have So
Many Friends, Dooling Or
ders Special Talesmen
A special venire has been ordered
by Federal Judge M. T. Dooling to try
the Western Fuel case, as the orig
inal panel of 76 names has been ex
hausted. The trial of the eight of
ficials of the Western Fuel company
on the charge of defrauding the gov
ernment of customs dues on imported
coal by false weighing has shown the
defendants to be so well known that
lt has proved well nigh impossible for
the prosecution to find jurors on the
original panel whose relations were
not more or less friendly with the
defendants.
In many cases the questioning of
Special Prosecutor Matt I. Sullivan
would disclose that the prospective
Juror belonged to the Pacific Union
club with John L. Howard. Sidney V.
Smith and other defendants, or that
the juror frequently met one of the
defendants at the Bohemian club, the
C ommercial club or on the golf links
of a peninsular club. A number of
jurors, afterward excused for bias by
Judge Dooling, testified that they had
known one or more of the defendants
for years. Some declared that their
wives visited one another.
ACQI .4INTA.%CE IS EXCISED
George Boyd. San Rafael, for in
stance, was excused as a juror when
he said he had known Sidney V. Smith
since boyhood, and would give him
every chance he could. A. Christian
son, manager of Wells Fargo & Co..
is a member of the Pacific Union, Bo
hemian and Commercial clubs, and
said he knew several of his fellow
club members among the defendants.
Another example of the standing of
the men on the panel was that of J.
Folger. the coffee manufacturer, who
said he knew President Howard of
the Western Fuel for years, and met
