FINAL EFFORT TO
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 30. An ef
fort which may prove to be the final
one, will be made by the county grand
Jury tonight to obtain concrete evi
dence In substantiation of charges of
maladministration brought against
District Attorney Charles M. Flckert
in a recent report by John B. Dens
more, director generul of federal em
ployment. Densmore's report charged
Flckert with irregularities in the pro
secution of the bomb cases in which
T. J. Mooncy was convicted of mur
der and in other criminal and civil
cases. Various other public officials
and private citizens also were men
tioned In the report.
The refusal of Secretary of Labor
William B. Wilson, to whom the re
port was addressed, to permit Dens
more and his aides to come to San
Francisco and testify has seriously
handicapped the grand Jury investiga
tion of the charges, according to Depu
ty Attorney General E. B. Power, who
is directing the Inquiry.
Mr. Power declared yesterday that
the Densmore report, which admitted
ly was largely obtained by listening
In on te'ephone conversations, is not
admlssable In any Judicial body and.
to become evidence, must be substan
tiated. TROOPS AND
