No drastic action was taken by the
federal grand jury in the matter Of

far as could be learned Wednesday
morning when the grand jurors appear
cd before Judge John Z, Mccall and
declared that their work had been
completed. The jurors were then re-

into special session.
Three days were spent by the Jurors
in inyeugation of the high cost OF
necessities In Memphis. Just what
testimony was presented to them or
what facts were developed were, OF
course not announced However, per-
sons connected with the buying de-
partments OF various local retail estab-
lshments including clothing, shoes and
foodstuffs appeared before the jury,
II amy indictments was returned

ing or boarding, no information con-
corning II could be obtained and no ar
rest has so far been made by the Unit
ed States marshal A number of in
dictrlents have been returned from
time to time since the grand jury was
impaneled Nov "a, ard they include
prohibition violations postal and reye-
nue. law VOlhtlOns, perjury huDornA-
ton OF perjury narcotic violations and
other statutes, but II any violations OF
the amended Lever act, which relates
to profiteering and boarding, were re-
ported by the grand jury, there IL nc

the grand jury, was extremely retic mt
regarding the action Of the grand jury
In regard TO profiteering lie admitted
that the grand Jury had for several
days had before II persons connected

In the event there was no indictment

Memphis or the evidence submitted tc
| the grand jury by shoe dealers, cloth

was such that the jurors could find nc
violation.
Judge Mccall thanked the jurors for
