GRAND JURY
HAS Big GRIST
IN ITS HOPPER
WILL CONVENE THE DAY AFTER
CHRISTMAS AND PROCEED TO
DISPOSE OF CASES SENT UP
FROM LOWER COURTS AND
SOME ORIGINAL MATTERS.

Fourteen cases will come before
the grand jury for consideration
when it conyenes December 26.
Eleven of these have been bound
over from committing magistrates
while three of them will be investi-
gated for the first time by the jury.
One of these latter cases involves
prominent Salem business man,
but the charge is of a minor charac-
ter. Another involves a prominent
citizen residing a short distance
from the city, but the charge against
him is also of a minor nature.
Rainwater Case First
The case to be first considered by
the grand jury is that of the state
again c. A. Rainwster charged with
larceny by bailee. Rainwater was
the contractor fo- the Perfection
Sewing Machine Cabinet building,
which was destroyed by fire last
spring. In his own behalf and that
of the men who worked for him he
placed lien on the building, and
also had the interest they had in 1t
insured, it is alleged The offense, 1t
is alleged, consists in his failure to
turn over to the laborers who were
interested. their share of the insurr
ance money.
Following it will come the case of
J. G. Dollarhide, charged with OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses,
and then the case of Carroll Ostrand-
er and Roy Williamson charged with
stealing some money from Clayton
Hayelin. Ostrander has confessed,
and in his confession says William
son is innocent The deputy district
attorney has decided, however, not to
dismiss the charge against him, but
to let the whole matter go before the
grand Jury.
