sued a statement in which he tried

as to the purpose for which q grand
Jury was called in Cass county. While
it is perhaps true that the occasion
for calling this grand jury in 'Cass
county was the collapse of local
bank sometime ago the fact is that
ne grand jurv must consider and N
vestigate all charges Of law violation
within Cass county that may be
brought to it's attention Of which it
nay have or acquire knowledge.
