County Attorney Expresses Great Surprise
County Attorney Cole told a Journal representative the grand jury indictment against him came as a bolt from the sky. He said the grape juice taken from the Lenz home by William Grebe and Fred Holmes never was in his possession and that Lenz turned the juice over to Grebe and Holmes, with the jail holding the liquid. He noted he did not prosecute Lenz’s voluntary appearance to avoid a great risk to himself.
