Findings of the July grand jury in the Staples case were com- pletely overturned today by the special committee of five lawyers .appointed by the Commissioners to investigate the charges. The committee in its report to the Commissioners declared it found no evidence to sustain the charges that former Policeman Orville Staples was removed from the force three years ago as & result of a “frame-up.” Likewise, the committee sald it found no justification for the grand jury’s recommendations that Policeman Joseph H.
