PROBING BY GRAND JURY
Jail Cases Are Out Of the Way and
Investigations Are to
Follow.

The grand jury has completed it's work
upon Jail cases and may now be expected
to devote its attention to other matters.
It is considered certain that the jury will
heed the request of its predecessor and
continue the investigation into municipal
abuses begun by that body. 1t is likely
that charges of corruption against some of
the members of the board Of charities
and corrections will be investigated; and
it is not unlikely that certain members Of
the police force may come in for their
shane of attention. - - -
