CONVICTION. Ind, Feb. 19.-The grand
jury to-day. after a two weeks delibera-
ton. failed to return an indictment against
either Philip Hauk or DIR. William r.. Stout
In the Grace McCiamrock abortion case.
Judge Rabb, who was on the bench, be-
came very indignant, and told the jury
that when the grand and petit juries failed
TO do their duty 1t was then that mobs took
out justice. He said that 1t was unfor-
tunate In this State that il takes five out
of six to bring in a true bill and permitting
two TO throttle the work of justice. He
further said:
Each and every one of you are public
prosecutors. and IL the facts related in the
public press and otherwise had any sub
stance back of them at all, you should
have returned an indictment and let the
court try the guilt or innocence of those
thought to be guilty"
II seems the jury all thought Hauk to
be guilty, but disagreed as to DIR. Stout.
This virtually settles the matter so far as
DIR. Stout Is concerned. The Judge ordered
Hauk released, but Sheriff Charles Davis
and Prosecutor Kennedy. of Montgomery
county, were in the court room, and Davis
accompanied Sheriff Moore TO the jail, and
again arrested by Davis and taken 10
Montgomery county, where he will nave
TO await the action of the grand jury there.
The result of the deliberations here of the
grand jury is that the crime against Grace
McClamrock was not committed in this
fore, be guilty of the crime charged
against him.
