Show CHALLENGE TO II LOCAL Oil JURY Denny A. Smyth's challenge to the grand Jury will be argued before District Dis-trict Judge Arthur E. Pratt this evening eve-ning at 5 o'clock. If the challengo Is sustained, all of the Indictments returned by the grand jury will be null and void, and tho expense ex-pense of more than ?1,000, so far, will be a clear loss to the taxpayers. It is likely tho hearing will be largely large-ly attended by lawyers and citizens, who evince a keen interest In the forthcoming decision. Judge Pratt's decision will probably bo promptly given; because the grand jury has not adjourned and there Is a general desire to avoid unnecessary 1 trouble and expense. |
