NO INDICTMENTS IN
LEXINGTON MOB CASES

Lexington, KY, February 26.-The
special Fayette County Grand Jury
impaneled to investigate the rioting
here February 8, which resulted in
the death of six persons, reported
Thursday declining to return indict-
ments on the ground that it "would
only aggravate the present situation. u
The report stated that information
obtained from witnesses would have
warranted returning several indict-
ments. Testimony was brought out,
the report said, that speeches had
been made to incite the mob to vio-
lence, and that persons were identi-
fed by the jury as being at the scene
to promote violence.
The jury expressed its sympathy for
the families of the persons who were
killed in the rioting, and it also
praised the authorities for upholding
the law, and pleaded for obedience to
the statutes in future. The rioting
will stand as calming influence
for years to come, without legal act
ion, the grand jury reported.
