In the meantime the interest of the
public remains conferred on the prob
able action of the grand jury. which
reconvenes in the Hastings Court to-
morrow morning, at 10 o'clock.
Earnest c. Britton, a former candi
date for the Common Council, living
at 316 North Thirty y-fourth Street was
reported yesterday to have given testi-
mony before the grand jury Tuesday
which is said to have corroborated GER
tain evidence impaired by former Po-
liceman Harry Il. Sweet. Mr.. Britton
declined to discuss the report or TO
Indicate the nature of his testimony.
General rumor indicates that when
the grand jury investigation is over
Sweet will be connected with the de-
partment Of prohibition. Sweets prev
ious record for arresting violators of
vice and prohibition laws is believed
to have been favorably noted by the
department OF prohibition.
The civic conditions committee Of the
Ministerial Union was In executive con-
ference at the Y. NJ. C. a. yesterday.
