Stewart headed a team that included a further 7 people (in alphabetical order): William Jennings Bryan (volunteer - assistant prosecutor) William Jennings Bryan Jr (volunteer - assistant prosecutor, W.J. Bryan's son) Wallace Haggard (volunteer - assistant prosecutor) Herbert Hicks (volunteer - assistant prosecutor) Sue Hicks (volunteer - assistant prosecutor, Herbert Hicks' brother) Ben McKenzie (volunteer - assistant prosecutor, retired district attorney-general) J.
