When Frank was indicted IL was
not even whispered that James
Oonley might have had a hand in
the great murder mystery
II was not known then that he
even had been in the pencil factory
on the day Of the murder.
Suppose everything that is NOW
known, both of Conley and Frank,
had been laid before the Grand
Jury that indicted Frank, would
that Grand Jury still have indicted
Frank in preference to Conley?
That is the puzzle the present
Grand Jury has to consider-and II

There stands the indictment Of
