GRAND JURY

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 14.-Judge
Robert Moss, in Anne Arundel
county circuit court has formally
recalled the grand jury of the
october term Of court to reassem-
BILE here on Friday to probe sew
eral criminal actions that have
developed since that body COM
pleted it's regular labors in De
cember. The petit jury recon
vened yesterday to consider cases
that were allowed to hang over

OF the criminal cases to be
probed the most important is
that Of the attack made upon

on the night Of December 13,

his elder brother, James, also is
in jail. He is suspected of being
an accomplice.

from behind, using a butchers
cleaver. His skull was fractured.
His wife, who went to his as
sistance, was fired upon as she
attempted to put her unconscious
husband in an automobile out
side of the store to bring him to
Emergency Hospital here. Her
body was literally peppered with
bird shot, some of which also hit
the injured man. For a time, it
was feared their injuries would
terminate fatally, but they re-
covered and were removed to
their home several days ago.
Holland was arrested two GAYS
after the affair. For a time feel
ing ran high and a crowd of men

placement of James M. Hayes.

Meanwhile, the likelihood arose
that several Signers of the Hayes
