FAv0RS WHITES
IN RACE PROBE
TELLS BOLTING GRAND JURY
TO MIND ITS OWN BUSI-
NESS.
Milwaukee, LEADER

Chicago-Following the walk
out" Wednesday of the grand Jury
investigating the recent race riots
here on the ground that discrimina-
tiOn was being shown in favor of the
whites, a statement was issued by
States Attorney Hoyne in which he
vigorously denied discrimination
and in substance told the jury to
mind its own business and do its
duty
The clash came at about II O..
clock in the morning. Just after
the jury had voted an indictment
against three Negro youths on
charges of rioting and carrying
weapons Assistant States Attorney
Robert Rollo had started to present
another case. that of Emma Jack
son. Kate Elder and three Negro
men. accused of killing Walter Rig
nadell, a white youth.
As the prosecutor started to out
line the case one of the grand jur-
ors cried out;
What the -------- Is the matter
with the states attorney? Hash t
he got any white cases TO present?
Others took up the cry.
why are we getting cases
against black men only? Why don t
you present some cases against
white rioters too?" twas the general
theme.
Rollo wade dthrough a mass of
evidence to see whether he had a
case ready to present against a
white offender. He had none. Then
Asst Atty. Gen. Harry Hamlin was
sent for. He went back to the
state attorneys office downstairs to
learn whether a case involving
white rioters was ready.
He failed TO find one if shape.
Asst. Atty Gen. Middlekauff then
made an effort to hold the jury to-
gether for the purpose of having
Atty. Gen. Brundage make a state
ment" to the body. Prosecutor
William H Duval opposed this, say
ing no one. unless he had evidence
TO present, should appear before the
jury.
While this question was being
threshed out the jurors donned their
hats and coats and left the build
ing
Eyiden against white rioters
five who confessed late Wednesday
night-was to be presented to the
