GRAND JURY AND
STANDARD oil
Why Lionel Harris Plea Was
Reserved---ln to
BE Made.

/ The grand jury will make a thorough
Company's business in these islands,
for the purpose OF determining wheth-
err Lionel Hart was alone in his
roguery, or whether he was following
the lead or example of someone else.
This is why Harris plea was reserved
yesterday and was continued for a
week. In all probability Hart viii
plead guilty, but it is considered inn
portant as having a bearing on the
question of punishment TO know
whether or not his has been the sole
crookedness in connection with the
concern. It was pointed out in a con-
ference with County Attorney Cath
cart and Judge Lindsay, yesterday,
that it ought to make great deal of
difference in his sentence whether he
was partfceps criminis in some or all
of his misdoings with someone else; or
whether he was alone in it and in adj
dition has sought to hesmirch the good
name of, and cast suspicion on, inno-
cent persons.
It is stated that both Chief of De-
! tectives Taylor and United States At
belief that Hart was not alone in GRIM
inality, and their judgment is consid-
cred so good that the matter will be
taken up by the grand jury and every
effort made to sift it to the bottom.
