the Rev. William McKibben et,al. The in

THE SOCIAL EVIL INDICTMENTS.
The grand jury came in at IL O'Clock, to
make report. The court was summoned,
and gave the einformation that the court had
adjourned until IL o'clock, and that no re-
port could be made, until that hour. The
jury then retired, and returning at 12 o'clock,
submitted the following indictments:
Against Maggie Morse for keeping a house
of ill-fame resorted to for purposes of prosti-
tuition.

of prostitution resorted to for purposes of

THE INGENUITY OF THE GLOBE, THE FA1slrY OF
THE tsP. P.'
Mr.. Banning, foreman, in reply said
he wished to call the courts atten-
ton to the. great embarrassment
under which the grand jury labors, and in
vited the court to give it due and proper
consideration. This difficulty was of such q
nature that the grand jury had found it i'm
possible to avoid it. It seems impossible to
keep secret the proceedings of the grand
jury, its deliberations and even conclusions.
For example, the names of wit
nesses before the jury would appear
in the Pioneer Press, those to be called,
even before they we're subpenaed. Then
the same paper published what purported to
be the examination of these witnessed, to
the prejudice of the jury, and put on guard
other witnesses, whose names were
published, SO that the jury could not fully
investigate the questions committed to the
body. Again the enterprise and
ingenuity of the GLOBE ia ascertaining
the extent of the deliberations, their nature
and the publishing of official documents
connected Herewith were prejudicial to the
jury and harmful in lts aims to do Justice.
Mr.. Banning said he did not want to be un-
derstood to say or mean that the examina-
tions, reported in the Pioneer Press. of
witnesses, the names Of jurors used,
were in any sense true. On the
other hand they were IN all respects, and in
every particular untrue. Mr.. Banning closed
by saying or requestingthe court to stop this
course of conduct on tie part of the papers
in the future.

TERpR1sE, AND DEIUNO1AT1oN OF THE P. p.'s
LIES.
The court statedthat he fully appreciated
the difficulty, andwas free to confess sur
prise and r|gret that the press
should have pursued such q
course. If these proceedings as published
are true, they do but frusrrate the ends of
justice, and If not true the publication
throws contjmpt and serious reflections up
on body Of respectable and reputable citi-
zens. In Any event such publications and
the conduit of the press in connection there
with is digraceful. 1t has been serious
questionwith the court what course of con-
duct o7 what means to adopt to pre-.
vent : continuance of such action
on thspart of the papers. The matter will
howefer, be taken into consideration, and ii
sucha course is persisted in by the papers

Impressed it upon all officers of the cout to
fefrain from making mention of any winess'
name or any proceedings of the grad jury

The foreman was then asked i the jury

The Court-You may retirs then, gentle
men.
