Conducts investigation.

The grand jury, after being in
session part of Wednesday and
part of Thursday, adjourned short
ly after noon Thursday with the
report that they returned mo bill

The investigation of the case and
the examination of witnesses was
conducted by District Attorney

man. The grand jury was convened
by Judge Orr on petition CT citi-
2ens who were not satisfied with
the action Of the district attorney
and wished complete investiga-
ton conducted independently by

The fact that the grand jury
placed the matter Cf presenting the

iShment.
Whether this will be the end of
