Deputy County Attorney McCabe last
evening prepared a petition for a grand
jury, which was circulated for signatures
ut the meeting of the A. o. L. w. lodges
at the corner of Sixth and Quincy streets
last night
When the matter of calling a grand
jury was presented to Judge Hazen yes
terday he called attention to the law,
which requires a petition of 100 names,
to be presented twelve days before the
opening of the term of court, before a
grand jury can be called.
At the A. o. l. W. meeting last night
Judge Hazen was criticised because
some of the members thought he was in.
sisting the grand jury could not be
convened until the next term of court.
The district court is now in session and
the lawyers who are working upon this
case are of the opinion that if the petit
tion is presented to Judge Hazen Mon
day he will issue the call for the grand
jury to be convened at the expiration of
the required twelve days, which would
be before the close of the present term of
court.
DR.. G. S. McClintock who was this
morning placed under arrest by the off.
GERS of the district court was seen by
sTATE JOURNAL reporter.
DR.. AcClintock said: 81 have no
knowledge of where these bodies came
from and l did not know there were
three bodies at the college until read
about it in the papers. This year
have not heeu demonstrator
as was last year, but have instead been
simply giving lectures before the class
IN anatomy. When l learned that one of
the bodies found in the college was TAX
en- from the Catholic cemetery I really
became frightened, l can't imagine
who could have been so foolish as to
have taken body from Catholic ceme-
terry knowing that the mem bers
OF that church consider their
cemeteries consecrated ground. 1t ia not
that it was q much greater crime to
