MUCH TIME WILL PROBABLY BE
CONSUMED IN iNVES-
TiGATION.
Prosecutor is Anxious for Thorouoh
CONSIDERATION Of all Cases-iIieq-
al Sale Of Liquor II Up.

After sitting continuously yesterday.
considering the John Doe PROCEEDINGS
presented by Prosecuting Attorney Ad-
dleman, the grand jury adjourned un-
Ill $3.50 O'Clock this morning. when
they viii again take up the ~investiga-
tlon. progress was made yes
terday in the work but IL was found
mat they could not hope to finish un-
VI late az night, therefore they decid-
ed 10 adjourn until today.
II is understood that the cases prop-
er, deal with the irregularities OF or
hcers, the operating of illegal saloons.
the maintaining OF boat houses with
out a license. the ownership of houses
IN the former segregated district and
the investigation into minor f~elonies
n misdemeanors. PRINCIPAL among
the cases TO be worked unon is that
or Robert Means. now confined in iail
Tor he assault OF Albert Allen Saund-
ers. some time ago.
Whether or not the matter of he
illegal sale Of liquor by Mike Agnic
10 the Means boy will be taken up is
a question. The city having granted
the license. IL Is thought that the
prosecutor viii await the action of the
city officials before taking any hand
IN the matter. He stated yesterday
that he was there to stay with the
Jury so long Is they wished To-. il that
look a month. He said that all time
Ior INVESTIGATION would be allowed. so
long as they accomplished anything.
Interest in the workings o. the pres
ent grand jury seems to be greater
than formerly. owing to the fact that
no names OF the cases have beer given
out 10 the public. Men are
on cases and do not know what the
cases are until they testify before
the body. The John Doe" waY of
working with n grand jury is rather
new mere and IL is expected that
much will result therefrom. and that
when they report there will be cases
brought TO light which were moi
thought of.
