rural resident CHANGED to motor
through Hartford the other day at

who achieved transient fame by
running a shoe string into an avia-

Our friend sat behind the wheel
and ruminated on the error of
thinking that anyone might save

when, suddenly, the reason for the
hOIdup dawned on him. Down the
street purred a flashy Limousine,
red and yellow lights blinking al
ternately and a siren going full
tilt! The shining car swung up to
the curb, siren still sounding, and
a state trooper jumped out to
open the door! With great dis

more to publicize the fame of

Jury Fails 70 Indict

BY the Associated Press.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, Jan. g.
For the second time in as many
months, District Attorney Leon
Schwartz failed today to obtain new
indictments charging Roy E. Brown
miller, former Pennsylvania secre-
tary Of highways, and 54 others
with conspiracy to pad highway
pay rolls for political purposes.
The first set of indictments was
quashed by the State Superior Court
as faulty, and Mr.. Schwartz had
been trying to reindict.
When the January grand jury
failed to include the requested in
dictments in its report today, the
district attorney obtained its dis
charge and said:
II would hesitate to criticize their
(the jurors) conduct if I were not
afforded concrete and glaring ex-
amples of their failure of duty.
''' I submitted to them, for no
other purpose than to test their
good faith, two cases in which the
defendants had made formal pleas
of guilty. These defendants ap-
peared personally in my Office, en-
tered formal pleas and were willing
to 60 before the court to receive
their sentence.
In the face of this knowledge
this grand jury ignored these
two cases and all the other
highway cases, which were equally
well supported by evidence"
