STATE MAY PROCEED.
New Grand Jury in Morehouse Par
ish May Be Sought.

By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS. La. March 1s-
The state may move to obtain a new
grand jury in Morehouse parish and
through it make a second attempt to
obtain indictments on murder charges
of those 1T believes responsible for
the death of Watt Daniel and T. F.
Richard. according to T. Semmes
Walmsley, assistant attorney general.
here today.
He indicated that at the same time
the attorney generals office probably
would file information against more
than two score individuals whom he
said had been linked with the More
house parish crimes on minor charges.
such as lying in wait. assault and
battery and deporting from the state.
State May Proceed.
II this plan of procedure were car
ried out, he explained. the cases in
which the men charged with minor
offenses were involved would not re-
quire action by a grand Jury and the
state could proceed with its prosecu-
ton in the courts.
The new grand jury. then if it is
sought by the attorney general, he
added, would receive only such evil
dence as the state thought necessary
to bring about murder indictments.
Keen disappointment was expressed
by Mr.. Walmsley when informed that
