ODD WARNING
TO GRAND JURY
Judge Says They Will Mun-
doubtedly Be Approached
BY Outsiders
AS THEY CONSIDER
DISBARMENTS
And Actions Involving Ger
tain Officers Of Closed
Banks in Boston

Boston, Dec. 26.--The special grand
jury called by Attorney General Al
len to consider cases arising out of the
removal proceedings against former
District Attorney Joseph c. Pelletier
the disbarment Of Daniel Fl. Coakley
and actions involving certain officers
Of closed banks, was sworn in to-day
in the superior court.
Members of the special grand jury
were advised by Judge Fosdick to turn
over any communication they might
receive to the attorney general. The
court said the jurors would snndoubt-
edly be approached by outsiders"
This caution was regarded as an
echo of the sitting several months ago
Of the first of these special grand jur-
les summoned by the attorney district.
That jury was discharged because Of
tampering communications sent in be-
half Of officials Of the Hanover Trust
now closed, and the bank
officials involved were held to be in
contempt Of court.
Judge Fosdiek instructed the jurors
that they should not be Influenced by
the fact that one OF the defendants
might not be present, and might be in
some distant part of the world. He
mentioned no names.
Matters of great Importance would
be presented, the Judge said, '.impor-
tant not only to this community and
the commonwealth, but also important
to the world. Its Importance ~ more
than we realize, perhaps. The institu-
tions under which we live are under
scrutiny and stress and strain. You
are part of the government and have
a duty to perform
Explaining faat it was not the duty
Of the jurors to pass upon the guilt
Or innocence of a person accused s.but
only to ascertain if there is sufficient
evidahce to return an indictment,y
Judge Fosdick said it would be unwise
TO allow witnesses for the defense to
appear before them. he advised them
to hear only evidence presented by the
attorney general.
After choosing foreman and clerk
The grand jurors adjourned until to-
morrow when the attorney general will
begin the investigations contemplated
,y him.

TROLLEY GAR SWUNG
AGAINST A TREE
One vestibule Was Knocked OF But
Passengers Were Not
Injured.

The breaking of an axle, the second
in week, proved disastrous for car
number so, which plies on the electric
line between Barre and Montpelier,
Sunday morning when the car was
partly demolished in a collision with a
tree opposite the Benjamin farm on the
Montpelier road.
Last week the car, which was in
charge Of Motorman David Hyde, had
the misfortune to snap an axle near
the Smith, Whitcomb and Cook foun-
dry here and a new set of wheels had
TO be put on the rear of the front car
riage. Sunday morning as the car was
heading toward Montpelier about 3
o'clock the break was more serious. The
axle on the front set OF wheels snapped,
causing the car to jump the track in
front and start across the road. The
rear set of trucks held to the rails so
that the body of the ear swung around
and came into sharp contact with q
huge elm at the side of the roadbed.
So great was the force of the crash
the rear vestibule was completely sew
cred from the car and the running
gear and body somewhat damaged.
There were few passengers in the car
at the time and no one was injured.
Service was seriously interfered with
during the day while the wreck was be-
ing removed and one OF the small long
seat type Of car has been taking the
place of the big car since the accident.
Various causes are ascribed as the
cause of the breaking axles. Some
claims are made as to the strength of
the steel in the axles while others are
inclined to believe that the rough con
dition of the roadbed has much to do
with the matter.
