Soon after their arrival here from Pin Bluff, Minn., said Parker this morning In testifying before Judg -Kavanaugh. Brown began "oosylngr" around. Parker said hi wife want with Brown to th moving plotur shows mod. week.

Frank Hennessy, dep uty district attorney, co-stars In the recent famous vice crusade, will be given an opportunity to go before the grand Jury, wtytch convened this after noon at 2 o'clock. Especially will the former cruaader he prevailed upon to tell of the "horrid ' conditions he found in hie midnight Investigations, despite th statement made that he had washed his hands of the Investigation. The latest feature of the "oruaade" centers around the question: "Where are the papers?" Maher says he gave them to 3. Frank Hennessy. The latter aays hs has not got them. To explain the mystery. Hen nessy Intimates that "the papers have been stolen." When Mr. Maher did not receive the support he thought he should from Dis trict Attorney Cameron, he tore up eev eral affidavits, which were supposed to be valuable documents and evidence In th Investigation. So, with th evl dence torn up, and the papers stolen, the two crusaders will be asked to tell what facts they can remember to the seven grand jurors. District Attorney Cameron said this morning he would tell the grand Jury of the situation, and ask if It wished, to hear the two Inves tigators. In fact, th district attorney Intimated that the S'county detective" may be called before the grand Jury anyway. The real cauae of the Investigation and other features surrounding It will never oome from J. Frank Hennessy, for he deolared this morning thst "they were locked up fn his heart" His col league, Mr. Maher, appears to be will ing to tell what he knowa, however, but still Insists that some one Is trying; to make him the "goat" He lays the blame i on District Attorney Cameron. Th latter claims to still be in th dark on the Investigation, and Insists the only way to clear the matter I to hav It aired before the grand jury. The April grand Jury will consider th regular, list of case held to It from th municipal. Justice and circuit courts.
