'on Deceîhr ,fnihdits work Wednesday, evening w ab<)ut 6 o *clock and the mtich-talked-of - twholqsale investi- of gation of crinbe" was not revealed, that is, its scope was not what the publiceliad expected, judging by ail that was heard about it. The fact that but 51 indietmbents were rcturncd after 19 days' actual convening and investiga- tioni isn't sllrprising, for many jurieà in thc past wbich have beeîî iii session oniy the ordinary time of three orri, four days have returned over hlaf that nuniber of indiet- mnts. liî coniiection with the grand jury 's investigation, many iîît<resting anîd pertinent thins have been revealed. The' grand Jury went into session December 4th, the saine day State 's Attorney James G. Weich assumed of- tice.

Yet this is the first t4mi he ba been proseeîîtcd or even investigated. In Area, Amos Bain, according to thc evidence put be- fore thc grand jury, had sold more booue in bis poolroom- barber &hop than any Éaloon in Lake oonnty, and hie sales lad been progressing ALL LAST YEAR, when Ralph J. 1)ady was state 's attorney. The evidexice also texided to show that Bain, who was arrested tins week, lad provid- cd lis house as a place of prostitution for couples that caine out from Chicago. And the evidence which brought oit thc iîîditnnts didu 't pretend to intimate that the of- fenses of Bain were made SflNCE Mr. Welch took offce but that thcy TOOK PLACE DURING DADY 'S TERM OF OFFICE. 0 .f It looks as if the grand jury which started i to " get" State 's Attorney Wclch, tlirough tp maclhiations of meni responsîble for their heigi the esition of ixvstigators -werc evdently " caught in th#ir own net, " for after al was said and doue, after ail the evidene lad been collect- cd, what was discoveredt It wus dinceverd that the violations which haye-been charged rigit -and lcft werecocmmitted a year ago-OR WI{EN RALPH"DADY WAS STATE'S ATTJIORNEY. Thcy eoildn 't lave been in James Welch's regîme for the reason that lic weut into office on there day the grand jury went into session, therefore the violations which this saine jury investigated took place BEFORE HIS TIME. The grand jury invcstigatcd many cases of law viola- tions and one thing xnay be said to its credit-it <114 not show partiality to thc aristocratie towns of Lake Forest and Hghland ark, but, ixîtead, indieted druggiats sud others there for the sale of liquor cotrary to law. ,ThiIs to the, credit of the Jury and tatela Attorney Welch bc- cause it is a pertinent fact that in years past, before Mr. i Wech was prosecutor, Highland Park and Lake Forest, i the homes of the "reformers," who would reform other parts of Lake county, have thernselves always escaped the investigations set for other portions of thc counity. lI fact, these sanie people who would investigate othe parts of the, county have always insisted that their terrtory- Lake Forest sud IH'Lulnud Park-was "boue-dry," thati the law wus observedi1 And whit dos til grand jury show? It shows that Lake Forest sud Highland Park is the tcrritory whcre more boose bas been muild dùing manyi unontha paat than in any ,other part of lAkecounity. Imagine that! It shows that thc NEST 0F CRIME which the grand jury souglit for was discovered, not at Fox Lake, not at ~North Chiicago, not at Waukegan BUT at Highland Park aud Lake Forest, thc towns which ordinarily have, been looked up to as a little better than the rest of ou humble abodes.t )ybat 0 TOMMa Quayle and2thmr, ineludlug Rade à vioaton ddnt tak, plac .ently-they1 Fifty-on. trué bille or lndWcmenta, id nin q trué bille, w...re rturned 3, thée Jýl< cowsty Docembeor grand ury which conochaded a nînetéén dylb probe at six é'eiéu Wedné.day Nh.
