The indictment of Cireult Attor- ney Sidener, which has been a foregone conclusion since Attorney- General Gentry last week formally charged him with “fraud upon the Court” in his handling of the Ruth- erford murder case, probably will be based, it was learned today, upon a statute covering fraud in office, a misdemeanor punishable by a fine up to $500 or a fail sen- tence up to a year or both. Conviction under this statute 'would automatically remoye Sid- ener from office, take from him the right to vote and disqualify him from ever again holding public of- ficegin the State. This charge of ‘fraud in offiee,” which the grand jury ts @pected to - we. against Sileper belere.« iden expires Saturday, will sup- port the Attorney-General’s aecusa- tion. It will be founded on the ‘same official act which Gentry wed as the basis of his “fraud upon the court” allegation-—namely, inut Sidener, through an assts‘anf, told Judge Mix, in recommending a $500 fine as punishment for Wi!é liam Allen Scott Rutherford. that “important witnesses are missing ‘and the State is in a helpless con- dition.’ Gentry'’s Declaration. Attorney-Gensral Gentry de- ‘Clared in his statement accusing Sidener of “fraud upon the court” “Said representations were false. as some of the material witnesses in said case were then present in 'the courtroom and’others were in the corridor and hallways of the Municipal Courts Building where . ,COurt was then in session. © *® *» That by reason of said statements veiling made to said Court at said _time, and by reason of the falsity (Of said statements, a fraud wast perpetrated upon said Court.” Sidener made his representation to the Court through Assistan: Cir- cuit Attorney John E. Bowecek, who has disclaimed responsibility for it and has said he was merely carrying out the orders of nis chfef. , sidener, as has been told, tried fo shift the blame for the “missa- ing’ witnesses on A.

It will be remempered that Cir- euit Judge Frey accused Joseph Siegel of the Majestic Hotel with having made such a representation to him Siegel wes summoned as a witness before the grand jury and then excusea, not being per- mitted to testify. The Post-Dix patch also has disclosed that Verne |. Lacy and former Probate Judge W. W. Henderson had a con- ‘ference with Judge Mix and that lacy also spoke to Sidener about the case.
