approached in any way by persons who hnted at The
wisdom Of dropping the case
Assistant District Attorney Semple said the case
would probably be taken before the Grand Jury. 1t
may be taken before the Grand Jury even If Colonel
Follows has doubts as to the proprety OF an ndict
ment When a criminal charge was made against
Henry S. Ives, District Attorney MARITIME submitted
the case to the Grand Jury, by whom 1t was I'm
medately dismissed. While the investigation by the
District Attorneys ofce In the Gould-Sage case may
lead to submission Of the case to the Grand Jury
to-day, The question of the disposition TO be made OF

opinion OF the District Attorney, who IS the legal
adviser Of the Grand Jury, as TO the questions OF

are as TO the application OF the statute
of limitations to the alleged Withholding OF the
trust funds and as 10 whether the order Of the su
preme Court relieved the trustees from responsibility
