The grand jury appointed by the
United States court five weeks ago
made a partial report Of its investiga-
ton yesterday. The jury returned
eight indictments, seven Of which are
made public; the other is against a
person not yet in custody. nor under
bonds 1t is said that the eighth in
dictment has 10 do with land fraud
and involves illegal fencing. This ru-
NOR, however, is not confirmed.
The jury's report did not touch the
inquiry into the robbery of the Utah
National bank in January. when $l06-
$50 was stolen from the reserve chest.
On this case the jury has been work
ing more than four weeks and has had
before il "A large number Of wimesses
who have gone into the affairs of the
bank, those connected with il at pres
ent and those who were connected
with il i'm the past.
on June Is. IN conformity with the
permission granted by Judge John a.
Marshall, the jury viii resume the
bank robbery inquiry. Meanwhile the
district attorney viii continue 10
gather evidence that will be submit
ted. II is expected that many more
Witnesses viii be summoned and that
these will not an be local witnesses.
Many Witnesses Have Testified.
Fully half a hundred witnesses haye
testified before the grand jury. Some
of them have testified many times,
and not a few of them are still under
instructions TO return when called
upon 50 To do. In the beginning thir-
ty-ssx witnesses were served with sub
pOenaes; since the investigation be
gan approximately a score in addition
have been. from time 10 time, served.
The district attorney. Hiram +.
Booth expresses his satisfaction at the
progress made by the jury. We have
made progress" said Mr.. Booth. and
| have no doubt that the sitting i'm
juno will develop additional facts. The
jurors are determined, apparently 10
get at-the bottom of all the matters
submitted to them, and we will en-
deavOr TO help them as much as We
can by presenting new and additional
evidence"
During the last few days the wit
nesses who have been before the jury
have been those who had already ap-
peared. Bank accountants and experts
were among them. So were business
associates OF Joseph Nelson, former
cashier Of the Utah National, into
whose affairs the jury manffestly has
deiVed deeply. There were also many
witnesses from ogden. where. it is al

sons in an automobile came on the
morning after the robbery Is supposed
to have been committed.
