Preston Attorneys Feature Grand Jury At Idaho Falls
Preston will be fully represented at the Idaho Falls grand jury session now under way. Attorney General Frank Langley has sent assistant Phil J. Evans to the scene, with Ben Johnson aiding the dry forces. Johnson previously sought a jury before the last election, but Judge C. J. Taylor denied the motion. The judge said no evidence supported rumors of misconduct by county and city officers, yet the public demand for a grand jury was high to clear names. Evans may become chief state counsel, potentially replacing Thomas Y. Gwilliam as state representative of the AG.
