1 The greatest excitement was created
around the City Hall to day growing out
Of the action Of the anti-ring grand Jury.
Am immense throng gathered in the court
room TO be present at the coming Of the
jury. Mayor Hall arrived shortly before
opening the court when the grand jpry
handed in the indictments. One oi, their
number read an address In which he
stated they failed to find indictments
against many persons implicated in the
frauds because the existing laws, as ex-
planned by their legal advisors, do not
provide for their punishment. Their in
vestigations have been necessarily slow
and tedious, for the plots Of the conspira-
tors were carefully and cunningly devised
and executed. .lnrthe course fiof5 their
labors other public frauds were brought to
notice which they were unable to investi-
gate They trust that the succeeding
grand juries will bring them light on the
perjury, forgery and similar crimes and
means by which the,treasury was robbed
and theeity disgraced. S-F-GA-9 ! < 4
In the Mayors address to the Court,
Judge Bedford presiding, he said: ASH
is announced that your Honor leaves the
city to obtain relaxation from your ardu.
ous duties, and as / desire immed ediate trial,
and as other, Judges of this court ought
not from social reasons act in any, case Of
mine, / suggest that any one Of the ex-
officers, Justices of this, court to whom
snch reasons cannot apply, be substituted"
Whereupon Judge o. P. DAILY, whom
Mayor Hall said, was a man who was
elected at the last election by the general
consent Of all parties, and whom nothing
could possibly be said against, was deter
mined on.
