Mr.. Marshall announced last night
that the investigation of the Tanner
case would be taken up to-day by the
federal grand jury.
Girls Story Analysed.
The federal authorities place little
faith in the part of Miss Tanners state
ment in which she said that the first
time she realized that she had mis-
taken James W. Osborne for Oliver Os-
borne was when she saw him in United
States Commissioner Houghton's office
after the hearing last Thursday. The
strong impression is that she must have
realized her mistake when she saw Mr..
Osborne at the first hearing before the
Commissioner on the day before.
1t developed yesterday that when she
made her statement at the United
States Attorneys Office she at first IN
si-ted upon having James W. Osborne
there. Mr.. Marshall refused the request
She was told that she had had ample
opportunity 10 see Mr.. Osborne Tor
three hours one day and for two hours
the next day in court. Assistant united
States Attorney Wood said to her:
1T is entirely up to you. If you DO
not want to make a statement you do
not nave 10. Any tHihb sNH '""J 80
can be used against you
Part of her statement was given out
by Mr. Marshall Yesterday. The strlk-
inc feature Of i was the vOman's firm
conviction that James W. Osborne was
the man, and then her equally positive
CONVICTION few minutes afterward
that he was not the man. She said:
"When Mr. Osborne got on the stand
| recognized him the minute ! saw him
as the man ! knew. There wasn't a
doubt in my mind. He wasn't dressed
that way. Then ! was nervous and
didn't bother, and ] was sick After
that Mr.. Osborne sat down and !
glanced ut him and looked at him, and
| said, That is him.. and wished he
would take those glasses off"
