Believing that public sentiment demands that Nathan B. Harvey, the Mllwaukle nur seryman, be brought to trial on a charge of murdering the four membera of the Hill family at Ardenwald station last summer, the county commissioners re striving; to find means -to clear up the troubled atmosphere surrounding the case. ' If Is almost positively known that the members of the Clackamas grand Jury, which Investigated the charges against Harvey, who was called before the county court yesterday, said that the rrand Jury was unanimously In favor 'of indicting Harvey and would have done so but for the argument tor lus- trict Attorney Tongue that he could .,' not be convicted on the evidence pre sented. Prosecutor Tongue Talks. By long distance Mr. Tongue, who was at Astoria today, told The Journal that he had not advised the grand Jury to indict Harvey or not to indict him. - "If any grand Juror told, the county court .that I advisea tne grana jury not to Indict Harveyr the statement Is a lie." said the prosecutor. Continuing, he said: "Since the grand Jury's action, and not before. I have publicly stated that the evidence that went before the grana jury mo evi denoe that would be permitted in I court of Justice was not sufficient to ..hang a dog on." . .. ;.. Kay Advise County Court. He said that he had not been invited to appear before the county court here -and explain, but that he wouia oe in Oregon City In the morning and would make a statement to the county court, If that body so wished. It was learned here from the best au thority that an attempt was made to corrupt the testimony of one of the state's witnesses while he was under iubr.enaby the rrand Jury. "A large lee. It is said, was orierea die The county court Is said to be a - nr.it In a desire to 'get action In the H'll case, and there seems a strong probability that unless District Attorney Tongue deputises some one to carry on the case, the court will appoint a special prosecutor. This may mean that all of the witnesses -4 J in all-called before the February grand Jury, will have to be summoned again and their testimony gone over.. ..-...

Many times - it would be easier to shift the responsibility of determining a matter to ths grand Jury, but my conception of ths duty of a prosecutor is to not only prosecute when the facts- warrant bfat to head off prosecutions that are based simply on personal spite or that are brought for personal gain, rather than with a view to protection of the publfb by the punishment of .criminals.
