It la also expected that the failure to ask for troops, after Colonel Samuel Hunter of the adjutant general's office had recommended such steps, will be commented on. Scores of anonymous letters, charging that the principals engaged the prosecution of persons guilty of participating In th Herrin riot of June 33, which coat the lives ef 23 men at the Lester strip mine, are paid agents of capital, are being received daily, according lo Assistant Attorney General W.

When the grand Jury convened this morning, nearly a score of federal operatives were engaged In guarding the homes of suspected leaders In the riot to prevent any moves to escspe. The precaution to prevent this possibility was doubled today by an additional force of federal operatives who arrived yesterday. The grand Jury will adjourn this afternoon until Tuesday morning on account of Ijihor day.
