That this policy of recognizing the in

is perhaps best evidenced by the length of

Our business in 1919 increased $50 per
cent. over that of 1918 and 90 per cent. of

stances, for twenty-five years.
Only per cent. of our 1919 volume Of

GRANO JURY
ORDERED
To PROBE
CHARGES
Judge Franklin Cole Sets
Aside Indictment Against
Former Police Chief and
Son; Orders Matter Be
Brought to Attention of
Present Grand Jury.

Judge Franklin J. Cole this
morning set aside the indictments
against former chief of police, C.
E. Hill and his son, E. w. Hill,
cn charges of soliciting and re-
ceiving bribes and an additional
charges against the son of per-
jury before the grand Jury.
The decision followed lengthy ar
guments by counsel for the defense.
o. ". Wilson and H. Ellison, and for
the state by District Attorney E. r.
Simon. Numerous authorities were
used to cite the particular contentious
of each side.
In making his ruling Judge Cole
said that there had been several ques-
tlons raised which raised grave
doubt in his mind as to the legality Of
the old grand jury at this time, that
the jury had been called 1918 and
that this indictment had been returned
in 1920, leaving the whole Of the
year 1919 during which the jury had
been in existence, when the Law pro-
vides that new grand jury shall, be
called annually. The judge said that
he was in doubt as to what the ap-
pellate court would do if the case was
carried before that court and that in
Justice to the defendants and the pub
lie the indictments should be set aside.
He stated that the matter could be
reinvestigated by the new grand jury.
The present bond Of the defendants
will continue to hold until such time
as disposition is made of the case.
Yesterday and today evidence bear
ing on the motion was presented by
the defendants. ]. X. Hermon, fore
man of the old grand jury was called
to the stand and testified that he had
not asked the grand jurors before
evidence was taken in this case
whether there was any prejudice ex-
listing against hearing evidence
against these men.
The law states that this shall be
done and this was one of the points
included in Judge Swings instructions
to the grand jury yesterday.
Other evidence was introduced to
show that all of the witnesses names
had not been attached to the indict-
ment.
This morning District Attorney Il.
X. Simon added the names of two wit
nesses to the indictment. This raised
Ia legal battle but law was cited to
show that the district attorney had
authority to do this and in his opinion
Judge Cole said he was inclined to
believe that Mr.. Simon had a right to
do this.
Although Judge Cole did not saw
that the work of the old grand jury
was illegal, in effect his opinion
amounted to such. for he held that the
Indictment should be set aside as there
was doubt as to how the higher courts
would act in the matter.
1t is understood the new grand jury
will meet March 26.
