grand jury. The September one was too busy." It is not true that the Septem ber grand jury was too busy. It handed in its report and adjourn ed Tuesday, when under the law it could have continued sitting until midnight Saturday. The grand jury did so adjourn because State's Attorney Way man did not give it any more work. Wayman made a further ex planation of his peculiar delay in the newspaper thug cases to The Day Book. - "I saw Attorney Jacob Le Bosky about it," he said, "and he was willing the cases should go over. Attorney LeBosky has been re tained in only one of the cases. The Day Book told him what Wayman had said. He was re luctant to talk. "I am retained only in the Witt case," he said. "That should have been presented to the July grand jury. Wayman has prom ised me he will present it to the October grand jury." It was Wayman's sworn duty to present these cases to the grand jury at the earliest possible moment. Why has Wayman not done so? There is a statute of limitations of only 18 months in Illinois. Un less Wayman this time keeps his promise and presents the news paper thug cases to the October grand jury he must prepare to face the suspicion that he is serv-1 ing the mterests of the trust press by deliberately granting immun ity to newspaper thugs charged with murder, through the auto matic operation of the statute of limitations. State's Attorney John E. W Wayman was to meet with the Committee of Fifteen and explain hismelf today. The meeting was' set for 2:30 o'clock. Wayman didn't show up until after 3. The Chicago Council of Feder; ated Churches of America and the allied civic bodies ofx Chicago have decided to ask for a special vice-prosecutor as well as a spe cial vice grand jury. The judge to whom application will be made has not yet been selected. o o TRIAL CONTINUED Evidently the police do not be lieve that Walter Stacey, alias George West, alias Doc Danzell, is one of the Canadian bank rob bers. Sf:acey was taken to the crim inal court today and arraigned on the charge of having assaulted Police Lieut Burns with intent to kill in Sidias' saloon. . Stacey's bond was set at $10, 000, and the case continued to Oct. 14. When asked if the con tinuance suited him, he said: "Oh, I guess it's all right." Stacey is a quiet, meek-looking little man. He looks more like a hardtop minister than a safe, blower. When Stacey was brought to J Chicago there were 25 )lain clothes men to nieet and guard him. In the criminal court to day, he was heavily manacled.
