This, It was supposed, ended the matter, but the action of the grand jury mis- morning snows Unit the Ul trlot attorney had hoped to have Boise indicted on an additional count. Deputy District Attorney Mosessohn, who has been in attendance unou the grand Jury declined to discuss tho matter, merely remarking that the reporters could draw their own conclusions. " Ask Oonrt Three Questions. These are the questions astaed of Judge Gantenbein: l can the present grand Jury re ceive testimony upon an additional count in a criminal charge upon five counts of which the previous grand Jury round not a true bin, the HEREAS YOUR PROBLEM same and similar evidence being used? i If bo, can the grand Jury do bo without order of the court? "3 Does section 1299 of the code re fer to a sitting grand Jury or the grand Jury that . found the not true bill?" The first and second questions the court answered in tie negative. The section of tne code referred to by the third question reads as follows: "When an indictment. Indorsed 'not a Hrue bill' lias been presented In court and filed, the effect thereof Is to dis miss the charge; and the same cannot be again submitted to or inquired of by the grand Jury, unless the court so orders." Shuts Off Investigation. Concerning the third question. Judge Gantenbein told the grand Jurors that the code refers to grand Juries in a gen- eral sense, and to subsequent grand Juries, as welj aa to the one that re turned' the "not true bills.?,' This inter ruption effectively shuts out a further j Alligation by the grand Jury, unless taken up. This is not considered likely, as the courts will no doubt discourage the iHklnir uo of the same mutter by suc cessive grand JurleB when not true bills irre returned, unless it can oe Known t hat that there is new evidence or that the exculpating grand Jury has for some reason tailed to perrorm us amy proi . riv. Thi re lias been no suggestion Ir tho Boise case that the last grand jury acted in any improper way in refusing to Indict.
