Among the witnesses summoned in

sons enough TO show every shade OF
opinion and of the progress in the in
vestlgation, SO far as its details have
become public. on the grand jury, its
foreman, w. j. Houston, is considered
a personal friend of w. +. Adams. and
Mr. Chapman Is reputed to be per-
sonal friend Of Mr.. Nelson. The sum-
moning of Howard Garrett and Farley
p. Jensen indicates that the details of
the business connections of Mr.. Nelson
outside of the bank are TO be gone in
to, as Mr.. Garrett was connected with
Mr. Nelson in Orpheum matters, and
Mr. Jensen in turn was connected with
Mr.. Garrett in these same matters On
the other hand the summoning of MIR.
Trimmer, Mr.. Kelly and j. Il. Dooly
suggests that the affairs of Mr. Adams
will be considered, as Mr. Dooly has
been conspicuous In his assertions that
he felt sure of the innocence of Mr..

employers, and he is a former deputy
sheriff, who is now private detective.

as Coughlin stated that II was repro
sontcd to him that President Mccormick
had asked for the private sleuthlns,
and Mr.. Mccormick denied TINS whlla
". Il. Adams also denied that he had
hired Robinson, although II was the
opinion of Coughln that Adams was
the principal behind Robinson.
