Preliminaries Unnecessary Because
of Action of jury Which Inves-
tigated Death of Matgasic.

Coroner J. F. Rose issued a mittimus
this morning upon which Jovan Palli-
mats. alleged murderer of Povas Mat
gasic, was taken from the city police
station to the county Jail to await the
action of the next grand jury. 1t was
found that preliminary hearing on a
charge of murder was not necessary,
inasmuch as the jury impaneled by the
coroner at the time the remains of Mat
gasic were found had drawn a verdict
recommending that Pallimats be held
on a charge of having committed the
crime. Accordingly Pallimats was TAX
en- down this afternoon in the custody

give bail.
