Jr., must stand trial on charges arising from his manage ment of thousands of dollars con tributed to his relentless anti-Smith campaign of 1928. With Miss Ada L. Burroughs, treasurer of his "headquarters com mittee, anti-Smith Democrats" in Virginia, the Southern Methodist prelate was indicted before the Dis trict of Columbia Supreme Court to day for conspiring to violate the Fed eral corrupt practices law. The grand Jury returned 10 counts, carrying a possible maximum penalty upon conriction of 10 years imprisonment and $60,000 fine for each defendant. Failure to report contributions of $65,300 from E. C. Jameson, New York capitalist and Republican, ad required by law, was the basis of the indictment. Bond was fixed at $1,000 for each. Assistant District Attorney John Wilson, prosecutor, said he would seek an early trial. From Atlanta, where he is attend ing a meeting of the College of Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal ? Church, South, the churchman said: "I am not surprised at anything that the Roman Catholic district at torney might do." i ? ? ? Map at RoiPr It was the second time he had di rected public attention to the faith of District Attorney Leo A. Rover. Earlier, he said Rover had ignored his offers to testify before the grand ? Hover withheld comment then, but. Immediately after the grand Jury re ported today, he said the clergy man's requests that he be permitted to testify personally and that cer tain witnesses be called were "promptly transmitted by me to the grand Jury, and that body was ad -vised that it was within its province to grant the request if it so desired." The Bishop once said he would welcome a grand Jury Inquiry. Robert H. McNeill, the Bishop's attorney, said Miss Burroughs would make bond in Richmond, Va., her home, and arrangements would be made for the Bishop's bond upon his return to Washington. McNeill expressed confidence "a full and open hearing, when all the facts can be brought out, will vindi cate the conduct of Bishop Cannon and his associates." Four of the counts presented by the grand Jury charged Miss Bur roughs with wilful failure to report Jameson's contributions to the clerk of the House of Representatives. Four others charged technical fail ure to report The 66-year-old clergyman was charged with abetting the eight vio lations. while two additional counts named him for conspiring with Miss Burroughs to commit the offenses. Under the law, an abetter is made equally responsible. For each wilful violation and con spiracy to violate wilfully, the maxi mum penalty upon conviction is not more than $10,000 fine and two years' imprisonment. For the four tecnical violations and other conspir acy charges, the law provides a max nuim of $1,000 fine or one year im prisonment each.
