The mass indictments are the
!. product Of a District investiga-
ton that has been going on since
mld-August. The same grand
jury indicted Nelson October 10
on five counts of perjury. Prose
cutors say the investigation will
continue and the grand jury, after
handing the indictments to Chief
Judge Bolitha J. Laws, immed-
lately went into session to hear
other witnesses today. Police as
poets of the case are generally
regarded as the unfinished busi-
ness.
Sergeant Questioned.
! First witness before the Dis
trict grand jury today was Sergt
Vincent Jenkins, now of the Sec
ond precinct.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney Alfred Hartman told news
men after Sergt. Jenkins hour
long appearance that he was ques-
toned about the ninth precinct in
connection with the Nelson case
| Earlier. Mr.. Fay told newsmen
that in the continuing investiga-
ton, police officers would be
called.
The mere fact that an officer
is called is not an indication he
is suspect" Mr.. Fay emphasized
Many of them are being called
for factual purposes to give the
grand jury necessary information
within their personal knowledge. =
