that the jury wished to adjourn over
until October 26 in order to have time
to get this letter and some other evil
dence in the alleged paving scandal.
1t is supposed that the letter will be
presented to the jury. However. the
grand jury cannot return any :ndict-
ment in this case. even though it ad-
duces satisfactory evidence that
Councilman Cox did solicit funds from
the paving company. as the law does
not cover the case.
Mayor Jones will be furnished the
copy of the letter and he, in turn, will
PASS it on to President d. s. Jones,
