CAUSE OF THE DELAY,
Why the Recalcftrant Correspondents
Are Still Free.

why the HecaIcftrant Correspondents
Are Stin Free.
An unusual delay has taken place in max
ing the official report Of the result of the
deliberations Of the grand jury in the cases
Of Correspondents Edwards and Shrfver
Both OF the alleged contumacious witnesses
have been notified twice to appear 70 give
bail on designated days. but each time the
notice was ccuntermanded. owing to lack Of
readiness on the part OF the government
The delay is probably due to the recent
caustic comments OF Justice McComas Of
the District Criminal Court In qusshing the
Indictment OF Col. Ainsworth. The stric-
lures on the loose manner in which that in
dictment was drawn has induced the dis
trfct attorneys office to act with more eau
ton. and IT is explained about the courts
that more than the usual exactness Is re-
ouired in the cases Of the recusant wit
nesses. and that many so-called fine
points" have to be considered in framing
the paper.
Assistant District Attorney Taggart is
still engaged in the work OF making the in
dictments. II is possible that true bills
VIII be returned by the jury at the end Of
the week.
