NO. 99 A GRAND JURY MAY BE CALLED IN CASSCOUNTY JUDGE BEGLEY IN RESPONSE TO REQUESTS LAYS MATTER BEFORE CO. COIL'S From Monday's Dally. The railing of a grand jury, the first to sit in Cass county in the past j thirty years, was touched upon in a! communication made by Judge James ; T. Begley of the district court to the; hoard of cHinty commissioners thi3 j afternoon and which will be given the" fullest consideration by the board of commissioners. In his letter to the board. Judge Begley stated that a great many re quests had been made for the call ing of a grand jury to consider the matters that might properly be brot before them and if charges were found to have a substantial basis, to vote indictments of the parties. The matter of expense was pointed out by Judge Begley and for this reason he hesitated to call the jury until the board had weighed the matter of whether they thought the result would be worth the expense of the panel. The district judge pointed out that the p.rosecution of these cases coming before the grand jury even by an investigation by the nor-j mnl legal machinery of the county would be no smaJl item, but urged ! that in the event that the board de- ided not to advise a grand jury that sums be made available for the pros ecution cf cases and the securing of information by the county attorney. If th commissioners should deride to take a favorable view of the mat- ter and endorse the calling of the l grand jury to take up matters that might properly come before it, there is certain to be more or less of a stir and many who have been identified with law violations may find them selves in a rough and rocky pathway.
