PARK MANAGERS TREMBLING.
They Don't Know What Grand Jury's
Going to Do to Them.
A rumor to the effect that the grand jury would investigate amusement devices at the parks gained ground yesterday morning and the fact that managers of the parks were summoned before the body lent color to the rumor. For the past two Sundays deputy marshals have been sent to the parks to take the names of persons connected with the amusement devices and it is generally believed that indictments will be returned against those managers who are alleged to have violated the Sunday law. No indictments were made public yesterday.
Another matter to come before the grand jury is the charge against Wilford B. Smith, that he caused to be printed and circulated scandalous and immoral matter. Smith is a sidewalk inspector. His paper is called The Pitchfork. Alderman E. E. Morris was called as a witness in the case, but was not heard yesterday.
Smith has been arrested on a state warrant sworn out by Morris, and is t present under bond.
