Routine Matters Appear to
Occupy Time of Grand Jury,
Despite Assurances.
COMMITTEEMEN BLAMED
‘Overzealous’ Precinct Workers
Cet Odium—Documents Pre
sented to Jurors.
“The work of the grand Jury is
being pushed,” William P. Evans,
prosecuting attorney of Marion Coun
ty, said today in regard to the prog
ress of the investigation of irregulari
ties in the repent primary election.
Mr. Evans was reticent concerning
investigation activities.
The opinion was expressed that
there was no evidence of organized
conspiracy in front of the grand jury.
“Over-zealous precinct committeemen”
were said to have been the perpetra
tors of most of the fraud.

jury room that examination of officers
who have cases involving persons in
the county jail has been given prec
edence over the probe of election
frauds.
This was said to indicate that the
investigation ordered by Mr. Evans is
not being pushed ahead of routine
cases, despite the fact that election
