GRAND JURY TO
MEET WEDNESDAY
Session Will be Commenced
at 2 O'Clock in the
Afternoon.
SCENE OF MEETING
Preliminaries Open to Pub
lie, But Proceedings
Are Private.

The opening session of the grand
jury, which was recently called in this
county by Judge c. NJ. Cooley, of the
district court, will be held at 2 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon. Judge X. e.
Leighton, Of Minot. arrived in the city
this noon to sit in place of Judge
Cooley, the latter going to take charge
of Judge Leighton's work for the next
few days.
The main reason for the summon
ing of the grand jury is to investigate
matters in connection with the alleg-
ed bribery of the McLain Cooper jury
in this county in 1911, when the lat
ter was on trial for the murder OF
Frank Ross. The grand jury was
summoned several weeks ago, after
petitions had been circulated asking
Judge Cooley to call it. 1t Is expect
ed that several other matters will be
investigated also.
States Attorney O. B. Burtness
stated today hat Judge Cooley's re-
quest to Judge Leighton to sit in his
place at the grand jury session is sat-
!sfactory to the state"
Subpoenas for witnesses to appear
before the grand jury to testify have
been served and several persons are
expected to arrive tonight in the city
in connection with the case.
All proceedings preliminary to the
actual Investigations of the grand jury
will be open to the general public.
The proceedings will take place in the
district courtrooms in the federal
building.

Hennessy hasn't said whether he
would accept the nomination if it was
