bis Fraudulency Attempting to Bulldoze
Grand Jury-DIrected Not to Proceed
against Thief-Remarks of Judge
1resham Denouncing the Dangerous and
OesPoL1c innovation, and Instructing the
Jury to do Their Duty Without Fear or
Favor.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. l9.-The grand Jury of
the United States court came into open court
this morning, and by their foreman, Gen. Has
call, reported the district attorney had received
instructions from the President of the United
States against prosecuting certain party for
alleged embezzlement in the First National
bank of Indianapolis, meaning Carew Miller,
and they had been requested to investigate the
matter, and desired to know from the court
whether it was their duty to proceed with the
case, the instructions of the President to the
district attorney to the contrary notwithstand-
Ing, whereupon judge Gresham charged them
IN su bstance as follows:
When you were impaneled at the beginning
OF the term you swore that you would diligent-
~ enquire and true presentment make of such
matters as should be given you in charge, or
migh. otherwise come to your knowledge touch
ing violations of the criminal statutes of the
United States; that you would present no one
through envy. hatred or malice; and that You
would leave no one unpresented through fear.
favor affecting reward, or hope thereof. You
could not If you would, escape the obligation
OF this oath by needing the in
ructlo.s of the President. In this par
t'c9lar case the President may, if 10
feels so inclined, interfere even in advance OF
the Indictment, by exercising the pardoning
power. In nosother way has he the slightest au-
tnorlty to control your action. He has it in
ms power to pardon the alleged offender, and
unless he is willing to take this responsibility,
ne has no more right to control your action
than the Car of Russia. If you believe the
residents instructions to the district attorney
were intended to prevent you from making the
fullest examination into the matter before YOU,
and from returning an Indictment against the
accused, if the evidence should warrant it, YOU
should feel inspired with additional determi-
nation to do your duty. The moment the en-
ecutlve Is allowed to control the action of the
courts in the administration of criminal JUS
t,ce the independence is gone. 1t is due the
PRESIDENT to say that the court does not believe
ne has any desire to encroach upon the Judi
ciary, or that he contemplated any unwarrant-
ed interference by his instructions to the dis
trict attorney. The district attorney said in
open court that he is ready and willing to aid
you In any examination of this case which YOU
may feel called upon to make. He and his as
slstant are faithful officers, and will render
you all the necessary aid in this as in other
caSea.

THE Trimble letter to ]. c. Cock,
of Newton, Iowa, in reference to
Weaver, wepublished; also Trimble's
second letter to the Ottumwa Demo
crat, in explanation of the Cook let
ter. We now publish below a letter
from Cook about the matter:
NEWTON, IA, Sept. 2, 1878.
Editor BLOOMFIELD Democrat: The
comments in your paper on the letter
Of Judge Trimble to myself and his
card Of explanation place both him
and General Weaver In a false light.
Mr.. Weaver's personal declarations
to me were that he would stand In
Congress as moderate Greenbacker.
But as 1t was not to be expected that
his party would be sufficiently repre-
sented In Congress to have an organi-
zatiOn he would act with those near
est his vieWS-the sOft-mOney demo-
Gratis of the West. Wedid not expect
him to act with the hard-mOneyd DEM
0crats Of the East. We expect him
to stand on party measures with such
men as Ewing.
The main point which we definite
ly understood was that he should not
on any party matter be a republican
or vote with them. This much and
no more. Yours, J. C. Cook.
Cook appears to have got the pledge
from Weaver that in no party meas
ure should he vote with the republic
ans. How now about his statements
TO numbers Of good republicans that
he was still as good q republican as
ever upon all matters except the A.
nancial question. Somebody would
be cheated, were 1t possible for Weav.
er to be elected.
