FRoN GRAND JUROR.
LAWRENCE, May 25 1856
DEAR RED: In compliance with your request
have written out the statement subjoned You are at
hb rty TO make what of il you choose until Free
State men Ill kansas have some chance for justice.
would prefer that my be suppressed but you may
pubisb it if you deem it essential to the authorization
of the facts.
Having been summoned as a Grand Juror, I ap-
peared at LecomptOn on the first Monday IN May,
1856. After some time spent in the usual preminares,
the jury were impanneed by the choice Of A. Stewart
as foreman, be alone taking the oath, aud the remain
Ger swearing to abide by the same. The principal
features Of the oath were that should examine into
every violation OF law and on finding that the law
had been violated, to make true presenment against
the volator; not to be actuated by prejudice against
or fear of any person, by hope Of any reward but
TO truly and faithfully discharge the duties devoving
upon ue.
This DONE next came the charge to the jury by
Judge Lecompte. He commenced by saying that we
had taken upon ourselves arduous duty the faith
fl performance Of which essential from the fact
that il would form precedent upon which future gen
eratons would act. You must act as your oath has
bound you to do without hope Of reward or fear Of
any one-but with eye single to the discharge of
your duty.
Let none Of you think there is person high that
unworthy of your notice. for this court pledges itseto
enforce the laws upon any and all persons against
whom you shall find indictments, though they should
be pledp ed to resist them to "a bloody issue.
Among the frst things that you should investigate
most minutely, should be the attempted assassination
Of Sheriff Jones' while in the discharge Of bis lawful
duty in the town of Lawrence. This, said he, should
be the earliest Of your investigations. The next aud
erhape the most important, is to examine INTO those
cases where men dubbed Governor, dubbed Lieut..
Governor dubbed Secretary of State, dubbed Judges,
&c. He then read from the decision in the case OF
Burr and from other decisions to show that these men
so dubbed" had committed overt acts But he said,
if they should not be found guilty OF high treason,
could not be Ia D than constructive treason.
This was pretty much all of his charge to the Jury.
No. one rord ras said sb0ut the murder Of Barter
and Dcr nothing of the thousand and outrages
that have been perpetrated By Pro-Savery men upon
the Free. State men, while every act OF Free state
men against Pro-Slavery men minutely examined
