THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 1925 p AGT ON CAUSE | PROSECUTOR 10 (Continued From Page One) nounced today by. Geofge Weedell, county attorney. This would include suits for the recovery of money al- leged to have been paid out illegally. In any event, as stated yesterday, action probably will await the re port of auditors and investigators of the Natrona County Taxpayers as- sociation, whon more complete in- formation will be available. More rumor was abuzz on the eets today showing sentimeut fa- ble to the calling of a grand secu: on churges of mishandling of public fioneys as made by the state exam- ine “The reports haye not been pre- sented to mé and I know nothing of the charges against the officials ex- cept what Ihaye read in the news- papers,” Weedell sald. “I am here to perform my duties, however, ana those duties are: specifically pre- scribed by statute. If it appears to be my duty to start prosecutions, they will be started.” “In case a grand jury is called, however, possible prosecution will rest entirely witb that body” of men. ‘They will investigate and return in- dictments, if they find grounds for such action. The matter of a grand jury being called is entirely up to Judge Bryant S. Cromer, of the dis- trict court. “If, the grand jury is called the law provides that the men who com- pose it can call me In to give them legal advice or information but I would not be permitted to be pres- ent when they are expressing opin- ions or when a vote {s taken. “In the case of the commission- ers and other officials there may be serious matters to prosecute and there may not be. I have not been presented with the facts but my is outlined and I will fulfill it in all cases. “Of course when complaints are made this office first looks into the facts and if the information gather- ed makes such action justifiable, a warrant is issued in all cases.” Weedel sald he had not arranged for a conference with Judge Crom- er relative. to calling the grand jury but said he will probably talk over the county office scandal in an In- formal manner for the present. If a grand jury is called to inves- tigate the charges of the state ex- aminer against county offices, it will be the first grand jury ever brought together in the history of Natrona county, according to what information on the matter could be gathered yesterday. Attorney G. R. Hagens says that no such body has been called during his er 20 y of residence in C: | When you see this vo jury or the Iingtitution of p tion against the officials based box on the Zc counter Y —then you may know that you're mighty close to 100 per cent candy satisfaction.

The health officer showed that his uff has inspected 11,446 school children during the month, examined 1,849, found that 1,099 had defects, and secured correc- tions fo: 8. GIRL WATRICIDE IS HELDINGANE (Continued From Page One) the jury was polled and after the court room was cleared.. She made no outcry. Her head fell back and she rested in the arms of a matron. The girl remained in court for minutes. When she regained con- sciousness she wept convulsively in the arms of the matron. She was able to walk to the jail, but held her handkerchief to her face and her shoulders shook with sobs, The court Indicated that the girl would be committed to some state institution of his own selection. Assistant District Attorney Har- mon D. Skillin, who represented the people in the trial, placed the mur- der case on the reserve calendar, It will never be ssed unless the girl is later declared sane. Members of the jury, while reti- cent in discussing the case, gave indications that they had taken in- to consideration all factors in the case, the girl's deed in killing her mother on what was said to be a trivial pretext, the girl's outbursts in the court room and the testi- mony of aljentsts. The one dissenting juror was Ja- cob E. Selleck, a retired shoe deal- er. He was firmly of the opinion that she was sane. The jury consumed but 45 utes in jts deliberations, The verdict closes for the present at least, one of*the unusual in the qwnals American jurisprudence. the g min- mnost V's tri for a treat.
