During Grand Jury
Session.

Pursuant to your request | have

forcement officers of Omaha and

ton as to the best procedure to fol-
low in such All investigation. | beg

port and recommendations for your
approval:

From the best information Il can
obtain, any thorough public inves-
tigation requiring the attention of
the officials and officers whose con-
duct is in question might tend to
interfere with the work of the pres
ent grand jury. |, therefore. rec
omlnend that any public hearing in
the matter be delayed until the con-
clusioh of the present grand jury.
I'm any investigation which l
might conduct, as your representa-
tive, | would, of course, be without
power to subpoena witnesses or ad-
minister oaths, and be compelled to
rely entirely upon the unsworn tes-
timony of such witnesses as might
voluntarily appear. / therefore rec
ommend that such a proceeding De
conducted only in the event that the
city commission of Omaha, which
has the power to subpoena witness
es and take testimony under oath,
does not, upon the conclusion of the
grand jury, conduct such an investl-
CATION and permit your representa-
tives to take part thepein.
Expects Action Soon.
lhe city commission of Omaha
has postponed the determination OF
the question of conducting such an
investigation until the adjournment
of the present grand jury, and pos
sibly until the return of Mayor
Smith to his duties. both of which
may occur within the next so days.
Unless otherwise directed by
you, | shall continue to make such
personal investigation as l can with
out public hearings until the COM
pletion of the grand jury"
