something was heard 10 drop, and now
for the first time since the terrible af-
fair it looks as though the criminals
would be brought to justice.
When the judge arrived in Genoa the
grand jury was waiting and Attorney
Turner said he had received a tele-
phone message from District Attorney
Nagle from Carson, saying he was i'll
and would not be able to present the
case to the jury, but asked that the
old grand jury be discharged on the
grounds that many of them had signed
a document favoring mob law.
The district attorney had appointed
no one to act as his deputy, however,
and the court was convened with q
grand jury waiting and no attorney for
the state present.
Judge Mack remarked that the dis
trict attorney had not acted right in
the matter and he should at once ap-
point new district attorney as pro-
vided by the statute. Attorney Turner
declined the appointment, which was
finally accepted by Attorney Virgin I'M
der some little protest. Mr. Virgin
said he supposed the court meant he
was to act temporarily, but the court
merely replied: "Mr. Virgin, you are
now district attorney of Douglass
county, and you may remain so for
months"
Judge Mack discharged the old grand
jury because three of them had signed
a paper favoring mob law. Judge
Mack's remarks were to the point and
shook things up in such a way that
something will happen in Douglass
county before many days. The new
grand jury, to meet Jan. II, was then
