Former Detective Frank Esola, Indicted by the grand Jury for grand lurceny, will ap pear before Superior Judge Dunne tomorrow morning to be arraigned on the charges against him. The stenographers have.becn busy getting up1 the transcript of testimony given be fore the grand Jury and this was filed shortly after noon with Presiding Judge Dunne. The case has been assigned to department 6 and tomorrow morning Esola will make his first appearance in the Superior Court. District Attorney 'Kickert declared today that the accused officer would be brought to trial within 30 days and that no delays would be permitted. "If they move to set aside the Indictment or enter a demurrer they will have to argue their motions immediately," declared Flckert.

"We will not permit any delay and if they attempt to block proceedings by tech nicalities we will go before the police commission and demand that the trial there go on.

Despite the efforts of counsel the matter still remains a mystery, although it is thought that the man is August Jouanou, the waiter who first told Chief White regarding the fact of the present scandal.
