The work here is being conducted
with the greatest secrecy, the utmost
precaution being exercised by those
having it In charge to prevent tha
nature or it from becoming public,
thereby possibly Interfering with tha
I Investigations and giving those who
are involved an opportunity to cover
up their tracks.
On account of the prominence of

fort to Involve those who are being
investigated finally reach the state
of Indictment by a federal grand Jury
the case will rival In widespread na

representing the plaintiff farmers.
stated that he and his associate
counsel desired a ruling upon their
showing filed; that Judge Iteatty wax
wanted by them for a witness in the

qualified from hearing the case as a
