A Vision of Federated States and Tax Reforms

Talkative Juror Gets Into Trouble
Bronx officials denied a statement attributed to a juror about Dr. John P F Condon in the Lindbergh case. The Supreme Court released transcripts of Dr. Condons May 1932 grand jury testimony to contradict the claim. Justice McGeehan urged the current grand jury to examine the matter as District Attorney Foley said juror Harry L. Whaley may face action. Whaley failed to appear, and his whereabouts are uncertain. The disclosure of grand jury proceedings is a misdemeanor. Continued on page three.
