Indianapolis Grand Jury Makes Hepor on Insanity Trust. The Indianapolis grand jury made a report on the alleged insanity trust. It found that, while the law had been abused, there was no evidence of criminal intent and hemce no indictmentcould be returned against the parties accused. The report says: “There has been no violation of the laws of the State of Imliunn, but we are also of the opinion that the law has been abused. We feel that Dr. Christian, police surgeon, and William Lockman, justice of the peace, deserve cen aure for their conduct in this matter for the reason that they are trying to control all the inquests possible in Marion County for the pecuniary interests involved. The jury finds the insanity law deficient in that un-'cnipn’ous men can obtain public mouey without violating the law.” .
