Danville, Ill.-Judge Kimbrough In
the circuit court handed down de-
cision in the case OF City Attorney
Jones, who declined to answer certain
questions regarding vote selling and
buying which the grand jury put to
him.
The court instructed Jones to an
swer all questions. The opinion stated
that, according to decision OF the
Supreme court Of the United States.
a witness before the grand jury is
immune from Indictment. The court
also held that the city election law Is
unconstitutional. which means that
Jones cannot be questioned about hap
penings more than eighteen months
ago.
This means that the investigation
will continue until all the witnesses
now summoned are examined. 1t Is
said that many indictments have been
voted, but whether they are for vote
