THE VOUCHER CASES.
Judge Robinson granted a motion by
Deputy Attorney General Peters to
strike from the files the challenge of
the grand jury panel entered on be-
half of the defendants in the House
voucher cases. The ground was that
the challenge was not entered at the
proper time. With reference to mo-
lions to quash the respective indict-
ments against Meheula, Johnson and
kumalae, a continuance was granted |
