:, 6i THE SOCIAL EVIL INDICTMENTs.

Mr.. Banning, foreman, in reply said
he wished to call the courts atten-
tion 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. 1t 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 subpmnaed. Then
the same paper Published what purported to
be tho examination of these witnesses, to
the prejudice of the jury, and put on guard
other witnesses, whose names were
published, 80 that the jury could not fully
investigate the questions committed to the
body. Again the enterprise and
the extent of the deliberations, their nature
and the publishing of official documents
connected Herewith were prejudicial to the
jury and harmful in Its 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 urors 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 requesting the court to stop this
course of conduct on the part of the papers
in the future.

The court stated that he fully appreciated
the difficulty, and was free to confess sur
prise and regret that the pres
should have pursued such
course. If these proceedings as publishe,
are true, they do bQt frusrrate the ends Of
justice, and if not true the publication
throws contempt and serious reflections up
on body of respectable and reputable citi
zens. In any event such publications an,
the conduct of the press in connection there
with is disgraceful. 1t has been seriou
question with the court what course of con
duct or what means to adopt to pre-
vent continuance of such actiol

had further business to transact.

The jury then went out and the court az
