Lords Oregon laws reads as fol
lows:
"When a person has been held
to answer a criminal charge, and
the Indictment in relation thereto
is not found "a true bill' as pro-
vided in Section 1928, it must be
endorsed not a true BILL which
endorsement must be signed by
the foreman, and presented to the
court and filed with the clerk, and
remain a public record but in the
case of an indictment not found
a true BILL against person NOT
so HELD, the same together
with the minutes of the evidence
in relation thereto must be de-
stroyed by the grand jury"
JURY VIOLATED LAW.
The case against the members
of the old court was an original
investigation and the men at the
time the investigation started
were not being held on a crimi-
nal charge. Therefore the last
provision of the law quoted ap-
piled to the case and in submit
ting their report as they did the
of the grand jury them
selves violated the law. There is
also evidence that this was done
and in violation not only
Of the law but of the instructions
given by the court and of the in
structions given the grand jury
by the district attorney. For
proof of this ask S. Z. Van Vactor
who was then district attorney.
The simple facts of the case are
hat unsuspecting members of the
bridge investigating grand jury
we're deceived by Gilliland in this
instance as was also true of the
grand jury that listened TO Gill
and's false claims when he stated
he law governing the publication
# monthly expense accounts of the
'ounty court was not observed in
,ther counties when in fact the law
: universally complied with.

GRAND Jury DID
NOT GET CHIEF
FACTS IN CASE
Jury That white Washed" Bridge
Deal Deceived and MisIed; Dodd
as Manipulation Did Not Want to
Involve Old Court-Report Sub.
mitted by Grand Jury Was Itself
in Violation Of Law.

In his speeches in various parts
of the county ex-Judge Gilliland
has been freely claiming that the
grand jury which in 1912 render
ed white washing" report as to
the Umatilla bridge deal exoner-
ated him from any blame in that
transaction.
Here are some facts about the
grand iury report and after read
ing them people may Judge for
themselves how much credence to
place on that grand jury report.
l. The grand jury did not hear
the most important feature of the
evidence in the case. 1t is the
sworn statement of \. b. Cooley,
published today, in which Mr..
Cooley SAYS A. +. Eberhart ad-
mitted to him that he had made
$4,000 extra profit through the
change in the plans on the Una
tilla bridge and had divided that
profit with the county court
,. The grand Jury from reports
received as to its investigation did
not investigate-with thorough
ness at least-the still more inn
portmt subject of how \. (.
Eberhart came to exercise a mo
nopolv on bridge contracts during
the Gilliland term. Had it done
so it would have found very startl-
ing facts had it been looking for
them. That grand jury did not
learn Of the change in plans on the
six bridges built in 1909.
FOUND LAW VIOLATION.
3. Facts that were laid before
the grand jury and were recited
bv the grand jury in its report
showed the law was violated re
garding the building of the Una
tilla bridge. This because the evil
dence was plain that the bridge
was built under a contract with the
Atlas Bridge Co. and not by the
county itself under superintend-
ent. The East Oregonian has a
photograph of that original CON
tract which anyone may see by !
calling at the East Oregonian of
flee. The contract called for a
comnlete bridge, erected in place.
DODD SHIELDED GILL;
LAND.
/. Reliable men who were wit
nesses before that grand jury say
the, majority of the members of
the Jury we're either deceived or
were indifferent to the real facts.
They say that the examinations of
witnesses were not conducted by
the foreman Il. J.. Oliver, but by
+. p. Dodd, the clerk, who was
plainly working not TO indict the
members of the court but to shield
them. 1t is said Mr.. Dodd wrote
the white washing report sub
mitted by the grand jury.
,. That the grand Juror at
least the men who dominated it
were inspired by a desire to clear
the members of the old court, if
possible, is shown by the fact they
submitted a report upon the sub
iect when the law commanded
them not TO do so. Section 1882
