interfered with. We arrested ten men, but were
compelled to permit them to give bail before Justices
McCoObery and ioumans The Grand Jury chang~d
our programme by subpoenaing Captain Graham ana
Others. They were not needed, and It looks II they
had been sent for to prevent them from going 10 the
track. When Graham was called in Foreman Warren

and Graham replied, Not much that he went there
as an officer and only did his duty. That all
that was asked OF him. We intended 70 arrest &.
