been discussing the matter of transferring the

The Disrict-Attorney had opposed such action,

probability that it would indict Sullivan and

to send for the Grand Jury. Judge Terrell

but still calm. delivered charge to the Grand

The Judge stated that he had heard from o

tiers. He reminded them that they were under
