5ournment of the Lake Circuit Court,
the grand jury which has been in ses-
sion off and on for two months also
disbands. and various interests political
and otherwise who watched its grind
with some trepidation are beginning to
heave a sign of relief. The body ad-
journed last week, subject to the call
of J. w. OFT, the foreman. but he did
not issue another call. No indictments
have been forthcoming as a result of
last weeks session and 1t begins to
look now as though there will not be
any more.
The work of Special Prosecutor Otto
Bruce also ends with the term, but
this does not prevent the outgoing
grand jury from presenting any facts
that 1t may have gathered. from turn .
ing them over to its successors.
