ARE IN PROSPECT
Beginning Of the End Appears in
Federal inquiry Into
Bank Robbery.
PERJURY MAY BE CHARGED.
Pinl<ertons Appear to Have Much to
Tel Grand Jmy---siay File
Report Next Tuesday.

That the Pinkerton investigation
continued so ruthelessly since the
discovery that robbery had occurred
in the Utah National bank is at last
grinding out the definite proof before
the grand jury. is the opinion Of many
who are close in touch with its work
The jury is expected to report
Monday or Tuesday and to bring in at
least two indictments, one of them
possibly for perjury as well as COM
plicity in the stealing of funds, j. y.
Londoner of the Pinkerton forces
spent the interim between the recess
taken in May and the reconvenng of
the Jury last week, working on the
case. and he has been closeted with
the jury for several days From the
personnel of the witnesses examined
yesterday, II would soem that every
phase of the case is still an open one,
but the fact that the witnesses We're
mostly paid off as soon as they appear
ed, indicates also that the extended
investigation is completed.
The matter of who wrote a letter to
a former bank employe ana received
shortly after the robbery was discover
ed, has been largely under considera-
ton for the past few days, and 1t is
probable that II. kytka. the san Fran
cisco handwriting expert, testified on
this point. To determine whether any
of the money was spent in the stock
exchange, number of brokers were
called from brokers' row and 1t is I'M
derstood that the question asked them
concerned largely the spendings of
one whose affairs have been inVeSti-
gated before. The letter was sent
from Ogden, on the leaf or note
book, and was signed ct. 1t said
the writer had left for San Francisco.
Mr. Adams turned it at once over to
Mr.. Mccormick. from whom ii was
given to the Pinkertons. and has been
published as . part of Mr.. Adams
statement At that time all of the
employees in the bank We're asked for
their pocket note books, but none was
found TO correspond with the torn leaf.
Friends of Mr. Adams expressed the
belief that the letter was written by
someone involved In the robbery, and
sent to him so that it would arrive
after he had resigned, as his resigna-
ton had been expected, and would
thus fall into the hands OF the Pink
erton investigators. serving TO throw
suspicion his way
The letter has remained from the
first as one of the most important doc
uments of the case, ranking in imrort-
ance with conversation in which one
of those suspected asked friend what
he would do If he had $4,000, the
conversation being followed by many
explanations of just what was meant
by it, all of these explanations having
proven to be made without grounds
on which to base them.
The general belief expressed today
| that the jury has determined upon in
| dictments, has created great feeling
| of relief through the Utah National
employees, who have, been under a
constant strain, and at times under
direct suspicion, for the evidence had
led in its turn to almost every employee,
since the original discovery of the
theft in the early part of January.
