Dramatic Grand Jury Hearing in Hall Case Ends Quietly
Expert testimony centered on ger prints found on a card prop and a fear driven claim by Rev. Fo Ramberzky as witnesses described the scene. Detective Giarrigar testified to the discovery while others including Rorent Bhtin and Anna Thome provided details under pressure. A tense moment arose when a witness was accused of perjury as the grand jury deliberated on whether Hall and Mrs Halbs were murdered and if sufficient evidence tied any suspect to the crime. The panel, charged by Justice Parker, adjourned after four.

Blackmailer’s Pot Shot Nets Jail Term for Teen
LeRoy Paine, 14, was sentenced in Superior Court to three months in jail after a plan to blackmail a resident named Smith with a Slackmail note. The scheme began when he received an initial $100 and involved a claim of sensational activities, but investigators say the letter prompted the crime and led to his conviction. Attorney Flohert G. Deleret described the plot as a bluff, while the case drew on gossip overheard about the target. The court’s decision marked the end of Paine’s involvement in the Pot Shot blackmail attempt.
