Mrs. BJorklund shot herself and lay between life and death for neveral weeks, but finally recovered.

GRAND JURY IS TO BE It KQ V KSTED Salem. Or., Sept, 28. The Jackson county grand Jury, which convenes on the third Monday In October, will be asked to make a thorough Investigation Into the failure of the Bank of Jackson ville as well as into the responsibility for the unusually large deposit of funds carried with the bank at the time of the failure, according to G. M. Roberta, district- attorney for Jackson county, who Is in Salem on business before 'the su preme court. Tn view of The fact that he will be re quired to prosecute this investigation before the grand Jury, Roberta refused to comment on the status of the county court or the county treasurer in connec tion with the apparent flagrant viola tion of the state law with reference, to the deposit of county funds in the Jack sonville bank. RESPONSIBILITY IS DEXIF.D Roberts did, however, take occasion to deny any responsibility on his part for the condition of the county funds. "I regard it as my duty to advise the county officials upon request for such . advice and am not a detective, whose , duty it ia to ferret out conditions of this : kind.' hA RAiH Aririlno- that at lm had Mrs. Myrtle Blakely, county treasur er of Jackson county, consulted him as to the legality of her action in favoring the now defunct institution with the de posit of a large portion of the county's funds. ' Roberts said he is working on a theory by which he hoped to save to the county Its entire deposit with the defunct bank. This theory. Roberts explained, involves the claim of a 11 county funds on deposit In the bank in excess of the legal allowance as a trust fund. Such a fund, he said, would have preference over all other claims In the payment of depositors and it Is believed that the assets of the bank will be about suf ficient to cover the county's deposit MANY LAWS VIOLATED William Johnson, president of the Jacksonville bank, according to Roberts, has apparently volated about every law enacted to safeguard the public in its dealings with state banks, and faces prosecution on numerous counts of lar ceny, forgery, embezzlement and other crimes, the aggregate sentence of which J would Insure his incarceration In the , state prison for many times more than a natural lifetime. Speaking of the shaky condition In I which the bank is said to have been for some time previous to Its final closing by Will H. Bennett state superintendent of banks. Roberts called attention to an overdraft of seme-146,000 on one deposit or's account, which had been running with the bank for between two and three years. Cotton from the great fields of Texas and steel from the huge mills of Pitts burg, not to mention vast stores of phosphorus rock, tanks of molasses and almost a score of the other elements that compose the overseas cargoes that go out of Tortland, were exhibited to nearly 173 members of the Progressive Business Men's club at municipal terminal No. at St Johns today.
