The district attorney thought tbat the cases which had boon already tried woulJ not bo atTected bv tho present anomalous condition of things, but that a movement to quash in yet to be called might be sustained It is understood that such movement will bo made, probably In the Con noils villo gambling cases, which lire yet to be tried As the work of the grand jury was vory well done, oxcept in ono case perhaps, it looks like an effort to make trouble simply because the op portnnity prwenfs Itself, and not that any good may como of it A MOTIVE 3 UIOIISLY HINTKD A "The laek of a raotlv for the pseudo foreman atlon is what surprises the -ourtami other people, but it doesn surprise me, lor I think I seo Uhls was tho remark of a leading citizen vesterdiiy in discussing the case The reporter wanted a diagram.
