paired by a decision of Judge
Sklpworth of Lane county. This
decision handed down some
months ago declared void work
done by tho former grand Jury on
ground that the jury was illegal
since McMahan had failed to en
ter an order continuing the jury.
To McMahan's declaration that
this matter would go before the
present grand jury, the county
court countered by demanding
that the acts of McMahan as cir
cuit judge be investigated by the
grand jury.
With the "feud" between Mc
Mahan and the district attorney
in the open, it la naturally sap
posed McMahan would dislike
seeing the district attorney who
ordinarily works with the grand
ury on such investigation probe
his office.

There naa been no rift in the
cloak of secrecy covering his
work to Indicate the significance
or purpose of the sudden shift by
the Norfolk boat builder from sea
trips to ailother of hU numerous
flights by plane. The change in
maneuvers came two days before
