ion. be divided into three general
subdivisions:
First: That the board of super
yisors OF Sangamon county which
selected the grand jurors was not a
legal board in March, 1921, when
said grand jurors were named, for
the following reasons:
"(a) The county board was never
legally organized, as required by
statute.
"b) The grand Jurors were
named by a committee on juries'
whose appointment is questioned.
sci The beard by its adjourn
ment on Sept. Il, 1920, to Thurs
day, adjourned sine die and no
special meeting was called pur-
suant to statute.
Second: The so-called special
report, by the grand Jury that re-
turned these indictments was
prejudicial to the rights of the de-
PENDANTS, TO the extent that no con-
yiction could be sustained, and they
claim in support thereof:
"(a) The rule of secrecy was
violated.
HlDl EVIDENCE was UeLdll6u- anu
findings made by said body that are
in violation of the constitution,
wherein due process of law is
guaranteed every citizen.
NcD The publicity given said re-
poh deprives the defendants of the
presumption of innocence guaran-
teed every accused person.
Defense Questions Validity.
Third: The remaining points
raised and argued. question the
sufficiency and validity of certain
counts in each OF said indictments:
la The state in reply contends
that the board of supervisors in
question was legally organized.
"(bI That If not legally organ
lied, II becomes a de facto' board
by virtue of the regular June, 1920,
meeting.
Itch That the adjournment on
Sept. "A. 1920, was not sine die
adjournment.
I'D That the special report of
the grand jury does not affect the
validity of the indictments.
These questions will be treated
in the order as hereinabove named.

gality OF the board OF supervisors
OF Sangamon county for the year

Sangamon county, and that the
grand jury was a legal grand jury
I'm regard to the special report
of the grand jury: 1t appears from
the record that in addition to the
indictments the grand jury return
ed a sO-called special report,
which was, upon the order of the
presiding judge, spread upon the
records of the court 1t also ap-
pears from affidavits on file that
copies of said report were made by
a stenographer in the states attor-
'ney's Office of Sangamon county
not by or under the direction of the
states attorney, however-and fur
nished to all newspaper CORE
spOndents; also that approximately
II 200 copies of said report were
circulated in Lake county, Illinois,
by said newspapers.
Said report, after relating that
they have examined many witness
es, makes certain findings of fact
in connection with the case at bar.
Report is Detailed.
This court hesitates to give fur
Their publicity to these findings, SO
they will not be herein enumerated D.:
suffice it to say. that this report
not only makes findings of fact in
volving these defendants, but sets
forth in detail the manner and
means in and by which these al
legged offenses were committed. 1t
charges that an ingenious scheme
was devised by the defendants and
closely adhered to, for circumvent-
ing the law, and recites in detail
how said scheme was operated, and
was signed by the % members of
the grand jury.
"The effect of report such as
this, has never been passed upon
by a court of review in this state,
and presents an interesting ques-
ton for the consideration of the
court"
After quoting at length from
court decisions in which special

evidence be taken in open court.
From said evidence the court
makes the following finding OF
facts:
THAT an alleged special meeting
OF said board or supervisors was
held in April, 1920, at which the
board organized By electing a chair
man and inter ALA appointed a
committee on Jurors
That said special meeting was
not called pursuant to statute. in
that the county clerk did not cause
the publication OF potices as pro-
vided by law.
That there were regular meet
ings of said board in June and Sep
TENDER, 1920.
Clerks veracity Doubted.
THAT on Sept. IA, 1920. said. board
adjourned until Thursday In con-
nection with the last finding the
defense introduced a certified copy
of the record OF said September
meeting, showing the adjournment

said Byers persistentIy swore that
there was no period, that there was
no difference in the scolor OF the
ink nor in the alignment of the
sentence.
The court thereupon. adjourned
this cause one week, and the state
offered further evidence. Byers
then testified that the record hac
been altered, that it had been done
by one Ethel S. Bucklin. - an en-
ploye in his Office. in the month of
July. 1921, some time after the in
dictments had been returned. He
