men, it was his idea that the cases
would be dismissed or adjourned for
an indefinite period. 1t was said that
the attorneys for the accused men
would be ready to fight any effort of
the state to leave these cases open for
long adjournment.
DeDiemar Gets Ready.
Meantime Clerk of the Circuit Court
B. NJ. DeDiemar was completing the
plans for the drawing of the grand
| jury on Saturday. The child who is to
draw the names of the seventeen jur-
ors has not as yet been selected but it
was said that the clerk and Judge Bel
/ den would confer today and that the
child or children would be invited to-
morrow. Clerk DeDiemar said that he
might call in both little girl and
/ little boy to in drawing the names
4 of the men who are to serve on the
| jury. 81 will decide on this after
| conference with the judge" said the
clerk. It was admitted that several
volunteers had been suggested frer
the children Of the city, but the final
selection will be up 20 the judge and
i Il clerk.
40 lntiraa sn Uas given cut today
of the list of names on the grand jury
record and it was said that none would
be given out. 1t is expected that the
first seventeen men called will serve
and that Judge Belden will not be
ready to accept any excuses.
inst How Much COods9
GLOW much goods have they got ?"
This was the question which was being
asked today by men who have been liv-
ing high off of disregard for the law,
following the action of Judge Belden
in calling the grand jury on Tuesday.
There was no answer to the question
and it was evident that the officials in
Guiding the judge, district attorney and
the special prosecutor Mortimer Walk
er had no intention of showing their
hands until they showed it to men who
were competent to return indictments.
"Have you anything further to say
in regard to the order for the call of a
grand jury?" Judge Belden was asked
on Tuesday afternoon.
"That is enough, isn't it." was the
answer of the judge, and he did not
follow it up with any other statement
The jury is to be drawn on next Sat
urday morning and there will be a
week in which to subpoena the men
named for the service. 1t is not an
nounced whether or not the names of
the men called for grand jury service
will be made public previous to the
I,,A Sc I'll L.
list will be made public when the
names are drawn from the box by some
little girl under the age of ten years,
to be selected by Judge Belden/
No Evidence to Be Made Public.
The grand jury investigation will be
a secret investigation similar to that of
the federal grand jury now in session
in Milwaukee. While it may be pos
sible to discover what witnesses are
being called before the grand jury
none of the evidence given by them
will be made public until it is laid
before the court in trial of defendants
who may be indicted by the inquisitor-
ial body. It is of course expected that
Detectives Burgett and Hayes who
have been very active in the investiga-
ton in the county will spend much
time before the grand jury. It is also
expected that John Scholey will have
a chance to appear and tell what he
knows of Kenosha county conditions.
1t is not improbable that the calling
of the grand jury will open the way
for the prosecution of a lot of people
against whom evidence has been col
lected by Scholey. It is known that the
crusader has just been aching for a
chance to get his evidence presented
to some body which had power and
desire to act 1t is suggested that
Barney Farrell who is serving a term
in the house of correction in Milwau-
kee will be called to Kenosha to testi-
fly before the probers. Barney is said
to have lot of interesting information
in regard to the night life Of Kenosha
and he may not object to giving the
fact to the grand jury.
Names Picked from Poll Lists.
The names of the one hundred and
fifty men from which list the grand
jurors will be drawn have been pick
ed from the poll lists made up at the
election last November and it is under
stood that the number is about equal
ly divided between city and rural town
men.
1t will not be necessary for the coun-
ty board to make any appropriation for
the grand jury expenses and the orders
Of the court for these expenses will be
all that is necessary to demand pay
ment from the county.
