Before the grand jury had convened, 60 complaints had been filed charging violations of federal criminal laws and holding the defendants for trial either in jail or by posting bond. Under the constitution'cnminal charges cannot be preferred by agents of the federal government, but only by a grand jury1? Most of the cases presented for the present grand jury involve defendants who had been held under, commissioner complaints for violation of the White Slave, Dyer, Harrison Narcotic and other routine federal statutes. Many complaints also involve' evasion and conspiracy to evade the federal draft law and it was rumored that there may be some indictments as a hangover from the sensational charges lodged by the spring grand jury against individuals in four states as results of practice in conformity with the teachings of an alleged polygamy cult.
