Lincoln Judges
Claim Grand jury
Would Be Illegal
Attorney General Davis Will
File Direct Informations
Shortly Against Lincoln
Men in Stock Schemes.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 1.-(Special.)
All hope for the immediate calling
Of a grand jury in Lincoln was dis
sipated tonight when Judges Stew
art and Clements of the Lancaster
county district court called on At
torney General Clarence A. Davis,
and informed him that technicality
would prevent the summoning of the
inquisitorial body at this time. The
judges declared that the technicality
would prevent the calling of the
grand jury before the next term of
court.
The technicality, as outlined by
the judges, was that the law pro-
vides that a grand jury must be sum-
moned 20 days in advance of the
opening of the term Of court. The
judges held that in view of the fact
that court now was in session, it
would be illegal to call grand jury
at this time.
Immediately following the an
nouncement, Attorney General Davis
stated that he would not wait any
longer for the court to act and that
within the next week or 10 days
he would file direct information
against approximately II Lincoln
men who are connected with various
stock-selling schemes whereby $20,-
100000 was procured.
