jury drawn ili in salt lake city and throughout utah the business of the criminal courts is completely blocked because no indictments can be found against criminals no matter how atrocious their crimes all this arises from the fact that wo we have a president who eods CODS considers Ideis idels it a part of liis ills business to meddle with avith the decisions of the judiciary and who is so
