 The startling revelations" of student activities, he said, were pre- scented by other high school stu- dents at the inquest.
 "Witnesses said that high school girls IA and 16 years old have been taken to hotels by older men dur ing the afternoon" Brannon said. 'Testimony indicated that teachers and the high school board have been lax in protecting the morals of the students in their charge"
 Brannon asked Circuit Court Judge Edwin Wilson to appoint Charles R. Aiken, Chicago attorney, special prosecutor to present evi- dence to the special grand jury now Investigating a shortage in county funds. The coroner said he would not seek the aid of States Attorney James E. Burke, or Sheriff James O'Neill.
 Burke and o'Neill said they would not participate in an investigation on such sketchy evidence" They defended the school supervision and student morality.
 T wouldn't do anything to touch the reputation of the school unless there was concrete evidence to act on," Burke said.
 Burke and O,Neill are newly elected Republicans. Brarnon and Wilson are holdover Democrats.
