Judge Crawford charged the Grand Jury to-
day that their duty was to make a full enquiry
into the true condition of the election riots.
They said they should ascertain the facts and
present them in an embodied form. Nothing
short of this should satisfy the community. The
laws must be maintained and enforced, and the
rights of citizens under those laws, and the fair
and full exercise of them without interference
or hinderance from any quarter, must be pro-
tected by whatever legally authorized means
necessary for these purpose.
