The proper course of action was clear. Coroners’ in- quests are not final—and it was certainly up to the grand jury to take up the sensational evidence brought out at the inquest. Evidence which not only proved that Legate was murdered, but also revealed departmental corruption. Yet more than two weeks have passed since the inquest without any sign of action by the grand jury. Prosecutor Malcolm Douglas passes the buck to Judge Calvin S. Hall—and Hall says he won't be able to say for % 2 couple of days whether the investigating body will be Mines able to take up the case at all.
