a Palpable Error.

The statement published in our
Wednesdays issue, OF the alleged facts
in the trial Of Shrewsbury. indicted for
forgery, We have since ascertained to
have been wholly incorrect, and in JUS
tice to the Jurors before whom the case
was tried, hasten to set the matter
right. The statement that ''there could
be no doubt Of the guilt Of the defend
ant" was obtained from parties on the
street, when the fact is, not the slight
est evidence was presented that the de-
endau had committed the crime with
which he was charged. The forgery
charged was in the alleged drawing Of q
bogus order for 1882 10 on Urton & Co.,
and signing to the same the name of
Ed. Banning as the drawer; yet the
question was not oven asked of the nc
cused, III court, as to whether he did
or did not write or sign said order, nor
was any affirmative evidence adduced;
therefore, tho jury could do nothing
but ncquit.
The defendant admitted that be pre-
sented the order, but claimed that IL
was given him by another party, snd
that be regarded II as n bona fde docu-
mont, to which assertion no material
evidence was offered In rebutial. Now,
in the face Of this notable absence OF
all evidence upon which the accused
could possibly have been convicted of
the crime charged against him, upon
what rational grounds could tho late
Grand Jury have found an Indictment
IN this easor The finding Of true bills
where there is no evidence upon Which
a conviction could DO reasonably ex-
Pseted, is worse than a farce, for it is
merely o waste Of tho public funds.
