Jamestown November 25 The first move in efforts to dismiss the indictment against Mrs Morence Burch 38 year old Mayville woman charged with attempted murder was made yesterday at 2 o clock by her attorney Harry M Young of Mayville who moved before County Judge Lee L Oltaway to inspect grand jury minutes. Mrs Burch formerly a deputy county clerk but dismissed last January is accused of sending a box of poisoned candy to Miss Fern Karges index clerk at the Mayville courthouse. A chemical exam showed arsenic in the candy sufficient to poison several persons. Youngs motion to inspect the grand jury minutes precedes a possible motion to dismiss the indictment on grounds of constitutional rights violations or insufficient evidence.
