In letter received by A. r
Heilig a few days ago it was stated
that an torney named Gardner
Of North Carolina had been appoint
ed to be assistant district attorney

pointed without Mr. Crossleys being
notified is not understood, but some
seem to think that he is coming
here as a result of the refusal of
the court to receive the recent grand
jury report, and that he will inves-
gate the latter affair,
