Electrical workers returned after a strike of two weeks. The govern- ment had recruited a staff of stu dents and experts to replace them, faithfully or not, I do not say.” Caldwell then stated that as an official of the city he considered it his duty to find where the leak had occurred. He asked the judge to call in the grand jury and place the facts before them for thelr action. Prosecutor Brown indignantly de- nied that any information of grand jury proceedings had come from his” office. Judge Ronald: cautioned the grand jury that all proceedings before them were absolutely secret, them to read the newspaper ai to ascertain if there was an essen: tial leak and to determine who was responsible. “If you find that anyone has been divulging information concerns ing what goes on in the jury room) you will indict him,” Ronald con- cluded, ‘ Calling Brown out into the ridor, Mayor Caldwell vigorously: demanded that the prosecutor as= sign an assistant to handle any grand jury proceedings in which: the mayor was a witness.
