It is amazing that for three years the police have not

It is amazing that for three years the police have per-

they could have been busy in the files of the Police De-

It is just as amazing the police conclusion that

VHE grand jury investigation of the Scrivener death

as puzzling to the public those employed in the
Mcpherson murder.
It is beyond belief that clear thumbprint found on
the death gun would be quietly filed away without pub

initiative of the Grand Jury.
It is also beyond belief that the Police Department

Scrveners right hand belonged to Matthew Walsh with
whom Scrivener lived for twelve years. when as a mat
