SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 28. (£>)—
The so-called “carpenter cases” cri
minal actions arising out of the a -1
leged criminal attacks on non-union
workers by dlsgrunting union labor
ers during the carpenters strike of
a year ago took a startling turn j
yesterday. An attempt to tamper
with a prospective juror in the trial
of J. J. Cannon, charged with the
beating a party to the murder of C. j
W. Caggbe, non-union worker and a j
disclosure that the bail of 44 union
carpenters awaiting trial under con-;
piracy charges under more than j
$10,000 bonds had been exonerated
Thursday by the Superior Judge at
the request of the Assistant Dis
