Bound to the Grand Jury

Grandpa Brown In the News

90 Years Ago
By Don Taylor

No longer front page news, the story of Grandpa Brown moved to page 2. At this point, Grandpa Brown had been in jail for 10 days. He was awaiting the Grand Jury to convene in two and a half months. I thank NewspaperArchive.Com for having the newspaper available online for me to transcribe.


BROWN BOUND TO GRAND JURY;
HELD IN WALKER JAIL

Brainerd Daily Dispatch – 27 October 1932, Page 2.

A Cass county grand jury will consider the case of Clifford Brown, Brainerd, charged with first degree manslaughter in connection with the death of Irwin Thompson, Brainerd, dealer in used furniture, who died after being struck in an altercation at Little Pine resort near here. Brown is being held in the Cass County jail at Walker in lieu of furnishing bond, the amount of which has not been announced. In his preliminary hearing before Justice of the Peace Bilben at Walker, Brown was bound over to the grand jury which will convene in Walker January 10.


Grandpa made bail after he was bound to the Grand Jury. Good thing as they didn’t convene until January 10th, 2½ months later.
