Grimes Case 'Cover Up'
CHICAGO — (UP) — Coroner Walter McCarran conferred with his chief aide today in a broiling dispute over the latter's charges of a "cover up" in the medical findings of the slain Grimes sisters.

McCarron later assailed Glos as being scientifically untrained to dispute the findings of pathologists and the state toxicologist who conducted exhaustive tests of the victims' bodies.
"This may cost me my job," Goss said in an informal news conference, "but I cannot sleep knowing things are being covered up."
