GRAND JURY'S REPORT.

il. Smyth. the chief United States
deputy marshal, went TO Bingham by
way OF Murray. At Murray he was ac-
costed by an automobile party. driving
the car of j. H. Garrett, which has
been mentioned frequently in connec-
ton with the bank robbery, and was
invited to join the group. This the
captain did. The car was driven by j.
III. McCooey. young fellow who has
also been frequently mentioned in ac-
counts of grand jury proceedings.
A Record Arrest.
Swifier than the wind blows this ma
chine was driven TO Bingham Junction,
where Captain SInyth served the war
rant OF arrest. Nelson was slightly
nervous, bur otherwise he was self
possessed and took the proceedings as
a necessary part Of formality.
The arrest over. the ear came back 10
town. Now. IL is twelve miles 10 Bing-
ham Junction. and that car made those
twelve miles IN j2st a little under nine
teeen minutes. (which was going
some, said Captain Smyth, and I'll
say right now that ! don't want any
more rides Exc that If | can help it.
I'm getting too old"
Judge Marshall. when the indictment
was presented was extremely consider
ate. He placed Nelson's bond at $4,000
and insisted only on the condition that
the sureties be satisfactory. number
OF sureties were submitted. but the
court said that. being without personal
knowledge OF the signatories, he would
accept them only after they had re-
ceived the Endorsement OF w. 5. Nc
Cornick or l.. s. Hills
Last evening a bond was perfected
and Nelson is free 10 pursue his bust
ness affairs as usual.
Irvine Is Retained.
A. B. Irvine, a member OF the firm of
Wedgwood. Thurman & Irvine. was re-
tanned as counsel for Nelson. Naturally
Mr. Irvine declined to discuss the case
of his client at this time. The attorney
was busily engaged all of the afternoon
in preparing the bond and taking other
preliminary steps.
What Judge Booth Says.
The result OF the grand jury nvesti-
cation pleases II. +. Booth. the United
States district attorney.
He told about how hard they had all
worked. and how the grand jury haG
followed blind leads. only 10 abandon
them when they saw they were mere
strings of straw. and how there were
many witnesses examined whose names
had never appeared in the papers
And some that did appear" was
suggested.
And some that did appear. l am
sorry TO say But there never was a
grand jury that went more thoroughly
into a case than the one that has in
vestigated this Robbery. There have
been longer sessions of grand juries.
for instance. the inquiry into the po-
litical grating at San Francisco. but,
SO far as I know. no grand jury in the
Country-especially in the west-has
devoted so much time and energy 10
probing this case"

ment Each OF the series of three OF
