The Herald made special inquiries
OF its Telluride correspondent today
concerning the reports sent Denver
papers AS to alleged doings of the
grand jury Our correspondent de-
nies emphatically that anything is
known concerning what the grand
jury is doing or Is likely to do. and
that the story concerning the letter
from Miller. serving term at Canon
City is fake. that sheriff Rutan has
received no such communication, max
ing such denial before he left this
morning for Canon with three prison
ers. mention OF whose sentence was
made yesterday. The members OF the
grand jury are sworn to secrecy and
no one in Telluride has been able to
find out what is going on. but CORES
pondcnts OF Denver papers talk with
this and that person and adding here
and cutting ont there are able to send
out reports that are readable and
much sought for by outsiders.
