ADVISES GRAND
JURY TO SUPPRESS
SALMON REPORT
Judge Denton Says Publication
Would Be Violation OF Law.

Clinton, Mo-, Sept. 30'-Circuit
Judge Denton advised the grandi jury
this afternoon to suppress it's report
submitted to him Saturday concern
ing the affairs OF the failed Salmon
bank.
Judge Denton did not give to tn e
public the repors which describes in a
vigorous and exhaustive way the
causes leading to the collapse OF the
historic Henry county bank and the
methods by which it was permitted
to carry on its operations.
Judge Denton at the conclusion of
his consultation with the grand jury
relative to the Salmon bank report,
dictated the following statement to
the Post-DispaLch correspondent.
My reason for not giving to tn"
public the report Of the grand jury
addressed to me is not that it con
tains anything l do not Want the
public to know, but because | think
that to give this report to tine public
would be to give ont evidence taken
before them, which would be viola
tion Of section 2508, revised statutes,
which provides that no grand juror
shall disclose any evi"ence gwen be-
fore the grand jury.
81 have noticed that there is q pre-
vailing disposition Of Grand Juries
to make general reports with refer.
ences to some special matter which
they have been called upon to In
vestigatn, but I cannot understand
upon what basis Grand Jury can
make q statement to be given to the
public that in any manner gives oul
either directly or indirectly, evidence
taken before them.
81 may say, therefore, that have
returned the report to the Grand
Jury with my advice that there Ii

the law cannot be given to the public

 By the derailment yesterday morning of the S:20 train between Ridgeffeld and Branchville on the Ridgefield branch, Engineer Horan was scalded to death and number of other people more or less seriously injured. The accident occurred about two miles from Ridge field. The train was running at good rate of speed when the tender jumped the track and threw the engine over on it's side. The two cars behind were badly smashel The engineer, William Horan, was pinned under his engine di- rectly beneath a broken steam pipe. He was scalded to death. e @ss75 5s
