issuing of 28000 shares of common stock to the con tractor The stock is Si par and a current Issue is being sold at $2 Earlier it was Announced that liens of $204000 were filed by Tvlenevitt Street Co and of $40200 by the Bureau of Internal Revenue tinning the necessity for having a grand jury 'Since about 99 of every 199 indictments which come he fore the grand jury are re turned as true bills the question again presents itself in the serving members as In its necessitv" the report stated In any event sinee it is deemed necessary and repre sents an appreciable cost to the taxpayers we strongly recommend that our sugges tions be given careful consideration" From July 11 through Sept 7 the present 118 member grand jury returned 160 true bills and one not a true bill The grand jury is required to pass on all bills of indictment involving felonies If the jury does not find a true bill the case is thrown out The report had this to say on the matter: "At present the majority or the new members have no idea what constitutes a charge a capital crime or how and why an indictment is made up in its present form "The grand Jury is Instructed by the presiding judge in handling the indict men's to return a true bill or a non true bill in relation to the charges but not to be come involved as to whether or not the person Indicted is guilty or not guilty That you are Informed is the duty or the court 'This results in considerable confusion on the part of many jurors as the present instruclions are very vague and not easily understandable to the average layman "A clear simple and understandable write up in simple language defining all these matters would be of great assistance to the citizens who will serve on future grand juries of this county" The report suggested that the 2tith Judicial District Bar Association he asked to draw up such a book It also asked for a "(hot ough study" regarding the calling of witnesses ilt is unfair" the report said "to ask witnesses who may or may not have any di ect concern in cases to remain where no provision has been made for their comfort except to sit in a crowded courtroom and subject them selves to the unsavory parade of human derelictions" The grand jiffy Also mom mended that jurors be required to serve only three months in stead of the present six: "In to day's world of business six months is much too long for service on a grad jury" The report was signed by Cart Forsyth present jury fore man firemen broan 'earth of an area near the apnt where hi parLed ear had been fnund a short time earlier Nice organized
