Inquiry Was Halted,
On September last the Govern

a second oil probe. Five days later
former Secretary Fall. by his coun-
sci. asked that the inquiry be halted,
asserting that the Government coun-
sci were on a mere fishing expedi-

sanctity of the grand jury room by
allowing court stenographer to be
present at the examination of wit
nesses.
Justice siddons refused to enjoin
the Government lawyers on their as
surance that they were not Fishing ;,
but had evidence tending to show a
law violation which under their oaths
they felt compelled to investigate.

The court, however, decided that
the presence of the stenograp pher in
the grand jury room was unautbor-

the regular grand jury to stop. Coun-

several witnesses before the special
