Hannibal Grand Jury May Probe High Cost of Living
Prosecuting Attorney Hamlin said the next Hannibal grand jury would act if needed on alleged profiteering in Hannibal. He declined to outline a procedure and said he had not received guidance from Acting Governor Crosley. Dispatches suggested Crosley would direct county prosecutors to present the issue to grand juries if required. In Marion County smaller towns the case would stay with the local prosecutor. Local chatter hints the grand jury will pursue the high cost of living locally.
