~ the Associated PYssa. =
KANSAS CITY, Jan. 2s.-The
Jackson County grand Jury
which indicted George w. Welsh
II for the murder of his sister
asserted in a report today that
Lear B. Reed, former chief Of
police, had concealed evidence
and obstructed other enforce
ment agencies in the Welsh In
vestigation.
The jury report stated that on
last March 70. 13 days after pretty
Leila Adele Welsh was beaten and
hacked to death, IL. B. Reed As
chief Of police had important in
formation positively identifying the
defendant, George w. Welsh, jr., as
the purchaser Of the knife with
which the victims throat was cut.
Why this evidence was not followed
through to . prompt, public, logical
and immediate conclusion still re-
mains a source Of mystery to this
jury"
No Formal Charge.
No formal charge was lodged
against Reed. but the assertions were
contained in the jury's report to
Judge Marion D. Waltner asking
permission to stay In session longer.
In his charge to the Jury last De-
cember 8 Judge Waltner asked for
an investigation Of the Welsh case
and, without mentioning Chief
Reeds name. referred to "a certain
dime novel detective who said two
days afterward that he could reach
out and put his finger on the perpe-
traitor. Then he proceeds to destroy
the evidence.
Tangled With Governor.
THE time has ceased to be when
we can boast Of q fine police de-
partment as long as this case re-
mains unsolved," the judge said. II
don't know what the grand jury
can do, but 1t may be there are
things you gentlemen can look into" !"
Judge Waltner tangled with for
mer Gov. Lloyd Stark during the
Tom Pendersast investiga tons m
Kansas City. He threatened to cite
the Governor for contempt. Judge
Waltner had dismissed charges
against County Prosecutor w. w.
Graves. a Pendergast regime Of
fetal.
Il think the people of Missouri
will understand" the Governor COM
mented, bringing q charge Of insult
from Judge Waltner.
