Bathe T I z ’emin CANADIAN NATIONAL=TO EVERYWHERE OFFICIALS DEMAND GRAND JURY QUIZ Montgomery Commissioners and Lee Ask Probe of News- paper’s Charges. BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY, Staff Correspondent of The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., March 19.—Sharp lines were drawn shortly before noon today between the Democratic organiza- | tion "in Power in Montgomery County | and the group known &s the “antis” | When the Board of County Commis- | sioners, at & special meeting today, de- | cided to demand an investigation of | charges said to have appeared in & local | . | newspaper reflecting on the manner in which the government had been run. A formai statement later was present- ed to the grand jury by the five com- | missioners, Dr. ‘Benjamin C. Perry, president; Downey Williams, Clagett C. Hilton, Robert L. Hickerson and Lacy Shaw. This statement demanded an in- vestigation of the charges contained in the newspaper, and if found to be true then to indict the officials responsible, but if, on the other hand, they were found to be untrue, then to indict those responsible for making the charges. A similar statement was read by E. Brooke Lee, speaker of the House of Delegates | and county Democratic leader, in which he pointed out that he had been made the target of some of the charges, and asking a full investigation, wha re- sultant indictments if the grand jury found that a crime had been committed. Officials Resent Attack. The action was taken following a long | session of the board of commissioners | | in the court house here, which was at- |tended by Lee, J. Forrest Walker, | county treasurer; Berry E. Clarke, clerk | to the board, and Capt. Joseph C. Cis- sel, counsel to the board of commis- sioners. The county officials and the Demo- cratic organization men, it is known, have felt nronfly the allegations made the present county government. s a strong belief that the state- ments of mismanagement of the county government have resulted in an in- creased following for the anti organiza- tion, especially at this time when the two factions are moving in a campaign for the primaries in September, when the candidates for the Democratic party at the November elections will selected. Charges Widely Discussed. ‘The charges have been widely dis- cussed, but no official action had been taken to counteract them until today's action of the full board, and that of Brooke Lee, ‘The formal statement, signed by all members of the board, was read to the by Capt. Cissel, and was said n lllppl!menkd by verbal statements of Dr. Perry and Lacy Shaw, who is vice president of the board. Dr. Perry said that the statement was re- ceived by the inquisitorial body, but it made no comment. sibility upon the grand jury to indict ‘publlc oflctll! guilty of illegal acts and t any persons who may have ecvmm itted libel, declare: “It must be true that either the County Commissioners of Montgomery County have been guilty of, conspired in or participated in the illegal or im- expenditure of public money acquired profit for themselves or 1nthm at the expense of public funds |and have as well committed other im- | to the public good, or else the charges | and suvzmema which have for a period of more than a year past most weekly wo_different ownerships, cons lerla of criminal libels Illl!llt the | several members of this board. Investigation Is Demanded. “As public officials. of Montgomery County who have been charged with these offenses we respectfully demand, both as citizens and officials, that your | honorable body, now in regular session, take cognizance of these charges of the Monuumery Independenz and that you investigate the truth or falsity of the matters therein contained and if, in your judgment, they be substantiated, then we demand that such officials be indicted and so given the opportunity of a speedy and public trial, or else you fl.nd the charges are not sub- stantiated, that those responsible herefor, whether names appear at the head of the editorial columns of the paper or not, shall be indicted for such crime as you may find them to have committed, which we believe and are adyised is that of criminal libel.” In support of the demand the com- missioners presented for examination a nearly complete file of the Montgomery Independent. Members declared the bosrd “has deavored to | conscience and fidelity and to enhance | the reputation of Montgomery County | as a safe and well-governed community. | The continued reiteration of the charges | made in the Montgomery Independent without trial in a court of law can have no other effect than to undermine the confidence of the people of the county | in the integrity of their governmen | ‘The statement was signed by * THE EVENING of County Commissioners for Mont- gomery County: Ben c.

Sees No Opposition to Trial, “No citizen or group of citizens can oppose a plan with such a promise of speedy and almost automatic justice to both the people of the county and the officials of the county. “I further call your attention of the fact that no one connected with the Mont-~ gomery Independent has prior to today voluntarily appeared before your hon- orable body or the preceding several grand juries to testify in support of the sweeping charges ghey have ted and circulated in Montgomery ty. “I most earnestly invite yowm atten- tion to the fact that only you, as- '.In grand jury for Montgomery Coun can indict criminal acts by public mu:{lmlymnnmctmm “These charges, repeatedly printed in the Montgomery Independent and cir- culated throughout the county, if not disposed of by trial in open court will place a stigma upon my reputation, both as & public official and as a citizen. A similar result threatens the reputation of the government of your county. “I earnestly suggest that in justice to yourselves, to the county and to me it is your solemn duty and obligation to make a full, adequate and completc in- vestigation to the end lete Justice may be done to nu It is your plain duty to initiate proceedings to tect the people of your county dishonest government, or to protect Pnnut officials from a series of criminal “One condition or the other now exists in Montgomery County.
