Grand Jury In Session.

Mount Vernon. O., November 13.-The grand jury will probably not reach its investigation of the death of young Stu- art Pierson for three or four days. An unusually large amount of business is to come before that body at its sitting and two or three cases will probably be dis posed of before the Pierson case is reached.
 Following their consideration of the Pierson case, the grand jury it is said will investigate sthe robbery of J. A. Me- Gavory of Oklahoma, who was found gagged and bound in his room at the Kenyen college yesterday. He had been robbed of money and a ring, but the rob bery it Is believed was the motive for the crime. It Is generally thought that 1t was McGavory who gave the informa- ton to the coroner which led to the yer dict in the Pierson case, and that the outrage upon him was In retaliation. This belief Is strengthened by a note found pinned to the students clothes which said This will do this time, but if we come again it will be worse"

 The facts in the case of Reynolds were presented to Provost Harrison, who sent them to Governor PennypaclSer for his opinion as chairman of the board of trustees.
 The following reply was received from the governor:
 q have made an exhaustive examina- tion of Mir. Reynolds case. I thoroughly sympathize with Mir Reynolds and re- quest that he be entered and matriculated Immediately as a student of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania"

Buffalo. N, Y, November 13-The com mittee representing the mutual associa- ton of the German bank depositors has sent to the governor a second set of charges against Frank D.

 These complaints that proper exami- nation for two years or more before would have showed shortages, and that the state banking department was negligent in not having the examination made. The com- plaint charges that the cashier was at

NO MARKS OF CORDS FOUND

Columbus, O., November 13.-Presioeh' William D. Pierce of Kenyon college was in Columbus today comforting with At tornev T. P. Linn and Rev. John Hewitt both trustes of the institution, concern inc the tragic death of Stuart Pierson, and accusations which have been subse- uuently made In signed statement lssueu by President Pierce he emphaticaily oehies what he terms "perversions of the truth which have got abroad" and absolVes the students from any msdoing.
 MT. Pierce in his statement says
 "At 1915 D. m. York, one of the com mittee appointed to meet young flersoh' reached my house and gasped out the story identical with that told by every member of the committee and the chapter ever since.
 "rhe committee not finding the boy at the end of the bridge started across It, only to stumble upon Pierson's body per haps sixty feet from the entrance Hear ing the whistle of an approaching train they hastily carried the boy off the bridge with considerable danger to themseiVes'
 MY first act was to summon Dr. lrVin Workman of Gambler, and ask him to go to the bridge. Upon his arrival he found Tschan and Brown, committeeman, stand ing by the body in the darkness. He sent one of them to the college pumping station to procure a lantern and with the assistance of Edward Gorsuch, then engineer in charge of the station, pre- pared the body for removal There were no traces of bandages or ropes on the bridge Or on the body.
 Meanwhile l had sent a messenger TOT MT Person and myself broke the awful news to him. His first thought natur- ally was to get the boy home to his mother as soon as possible, but the next day there was no regular train which reached Cincinnati until after dark. At his entreaty I secured a special train and the train left Gambler about o'clock Sunday morning.
 Stuart Pierson's body was prepared for burial at my house and it is the concur rent testimony of pr. Workman, the phy- sician, Fl. C. Wright, the undertaken, Ed ward Gorsuch and myself, all of whom were in the room most of the time dur ing the preparation of the body that there were no marks of character to excite the suspicion that the boy had been tied. The coroner admits that in his examlna- ton of the body in Cincinnati he only looked at the ankles and wrists. Having myself seen every dreadful detail of tho boys injuries I am prepared to assert that the wounds on the right wrist could be understood only in connection with the general condition of the whole body
