On May 16, 1908, a special grand jury report was signed by J.W. Houston, foreman, and J.F. Marshall, clerk, alleging nine violations of the laws of the United States. The report sparked a heated investigation that would shake the very foundations of Utah’s communities. Eight indictments had been returned, with a ninth still pending, prompting a recess until June 16, 1908, at 11 o’clock.
