Serious Charge.
Special TO The Tribune

Special to The Tribune.
OGDEN, Dec. 10.-That q grand
jury will be summoned to investigate
the evidence in the case Of J. Henry
Martin. charged in a state complaint
with a murderous assault upon Detee-
tive David Edwards was the decision
of District Judges j, A, Howell and n.
j. Harris tonight, following a confer
ence with District Attorney John B.
Davis and County Attorney David Jen-
sen. II will be the first grand jury
ever convened III the history of Weber
county.
1t will be not only the duty of the
grand jury TO investigate the possibil-
ity Of Martin s connections with the
blacltmail plot which has terrorizod
the citizens OF Ogden and Weber coun-
ty for the last three years, but it is
planned to consider in detail every
crime for which the blackhand letter
writer's have taken credit This will
include the hold-up of the Overland
Limited and the Oregon Short Line
trains. the theft Of jewelry from Mrs.
McLaren Boyle Wallin and the Cul-
yer as well as the blackmajl plots
against Mrs. Thomas d. Dee, members
of the Eccles family and Ralph Z.

performed in the state will be more
sweeping than that which is now
planned for the proposed grand jury.
Special Prosecutor.
While this matter has not vet been
fully decided, there is q strong belief
in Ogden tonight that application will
be made for a special prosecutor to
carry on the investigation in conjunc.
tion with the grand jury In such
case the appointment of such special
counsel or assistant to District Attor-
ney Davis must be made by Governor
William Spry.
II was denied by the authorities to-
night that the proposed calling for a
grand jurv in tho blackmail cases was
due TO lack of evidence against the
man now under arrest and charged
with completely in the crime. The con.
tenton is made that the unlimited
scope which is within the power of q
grand jury in obtaining evidence will
serve TO cement more firmly the in.

However, the women had no sooner

Cole is said to have told number OF
men at Highland Boy, including A. A.
Peterson, V. S. Hoy and r. G. Bee,
that the two had entered the mine and
that the Mexican girl had talked TO
Lopez. Later in the evening Mrs.
Coles husband told Deputy Sheriff
Sanford Hedges and Tribune reporter
that mis- wife had told him she had en-
tered the mine and had seen Lopez.
Through an interpreter senorits
Ocarriz declared that she and Mrs.
Cole had gone several hundred feet
into the Andy tunnel, accompanied by
TWO Urls. There the Mexican girl says
she called to Lopez. In a few mo-
ments, she said, Lopez responded and
then appeared, pointing his siIshooter

away. When they had gone, the gar!

Details Not Worked Out.

The details of legislation were not
worked out at the White house con-
ference, nor was complete understand
ing reached as to the number Of bills
TO be pushed for action at the present
session, The president made it clear,
however, that he favored legislation
along the general lines of the Lenroot.

congress since last June and which was
designed TO clear up the twilight
zone' OF corporal tion activities. This
measure was the subject of much of the
discussion, and members Of the COM
mittee will take up its provisions for
further consideration. 1t would define
by law nearly dozen forms Of con-
tracts, agreements, restraints, price
cutting and the like, the reasonable
ness'' Of which is now left to the
courts, but which would be "conclu-
sively deemed to be unreasonable and
