Washington, Jan. 23—The supreme court today was asked to grant an appeal to Thomas B. Felder, New York attorney who was convicted with Gaston B. Means of charges of conspiracy to offer money to Harry M. Daughterty, as attorney general, and other department of justice officials, to prevent the conviction of certain persons and to obtain the removal of evidence files from the department.
In his petition, Felder claimed he had not been confronted during the trial by witnesses against him; that the indictment had not charged any crime; that the government had made improper use of grand jury minutes in examining witnesses and that there was lack of proof to connect him with the offense charged.
