Special Dispatch TO THE CALL

CARSON, Nov 18-The late action oi
the County Grand Jury in ignoring the
charge against Julian Guinan for the kill
ing OF Charles A. Jones has brought out
no new features in the last twenIy-fOur
hours. There was 1umor to the effect
that the United States Grand Jury would
take action in the matter, but the rumor
seems to have little or no ground. At
torney William Woodburn, who defended
Julian Guinan, was interviewed by The
CALL correspondent this evening, and he
said:
The matter is settled. The United
States Grand Jury will have no grounds TO
act On. 1t is entirely outside of its
jurisdiction. 1t is not like another case
that it had action on lately, from the
fact that the deceasel was not killed on
Government ground.
The only hope that action could be had
by the United States Grand Jury would
have been in case the late United Stale
District Attorney had been killed While
OF mission of official business al The
time he met his death His letter TO Miss
Guinau proves that this was not the case.
On the contrary he was on an errand
anything but legal, and he met his death
in such a course. Neither the Ulited
States Grand Jury nor the county will
have any further action in this matter.
1t is settled and the boy has been exon
Grated"
Dr. Guinan and District Attorney Nc
Gowan met this evening, and had ta
over he outcome an any proba Bile future
acton. Attorney MCGOWAN admitted
that it was a practical i'm poss bllty 10
ever have convicted the boy IN his county,
and further that the men who representtd d
the Grand Jury were the prominent busl-
ness ard representa- We men OF The county.
This being the case Mr.. MCGOWAN con-
ceded hat it was useless TO look for any
action from that or any other source IN
this matter. The verdict OF the jury has
been In strict touch with the feelings OF
the people. and i, is regarded as the only
feasible outcome OF very dlsagreeabie
maJtsr.
Sheriff Kinney said tonight that he
thought that the matter was adjuslei and
the affair had ende Tor the best. the
outcome is entirely satisfactory 10 the peo-
pie OF the county, and as far as they are
concerned the legal bearings of the case
are at an end

These stations will be crossed with mares

and the other four for The Agricultural
Department of the empire, ultimately to

Mr.. Matsuma,o said that upon the issue
OF this experiment depends large future
demand for American stock. Heretofore

scendants CT The Ara bian breeds are 10 be
