A PARTISAN GRAND JURY.
The Manner in Which the Recent Ballot.
Box Frauds We're Investigated.
An Indictment Against Holt Is Prepared
but, by Partisan Vote, It Is De-
cided to Not Return 1t.

AN unofficial person possessing valuable in
formation at al! times concerning affairs about
the court house. was accosted yesterday with the
usual query, what do you know2"
1t is unfortunate for you newspaper men that
the grand jury is such secretive body" was the
reply.
"WhyY"
There is something of interest in their trans
actions to-day. How got the clew is none of
your business, but what tell you is fact.
You have been expecting, when the next batch of
indictments comes in, to find two relating to the
rascalties connected with the recount of the last
vote for mayor, and alderman in the Second dis
trlct You will be disappointed. The grand
jury has decided not to indict Holt who chopped
the ballot-box lid to pieces. and the person who
stole the Eighteenth ward ballots"
Ibid they have sufficient facts before them in
either case?"
Il should say they had, and law, too There
is no want of facts. Plenty of them, like an
unbroken pbaanx, were marshaled before the
jurors. The trouble is, the facts were too pow
erful and conclusive in both cases."
why did they not lndict9'
You are very credulous individual to be-
leve that these grand jurors are free from par
tisan influence An Indictment against the man
who stole the Eighteenth ward ballots was pre-
pared and put to vote. The Democratic Jurors,
three of them. voted against it, because the per-
son interested is supposed to be Republican,
with Democratic procivities. The three Re-
publican jurors voted for it,"
An Indictment against Holt was prepared"
Yes, and put to vote. TIE Democrats voted
against and the Republicans for it. Just before
this indictment was put to VOTE John Schley,
the foreman, said he would like to have a law
yer to give them advice on the matter Prose-
cutting Attorney Harding. the urors' legal coun-
selor, was sent for by one of the Republican
jurors. He told them plainly and emphatcally
that he did not see how they could fail to bring
an indictment in both cases The facts clearly
Justify it, and the law is explicit. Harding evil
IDENTITY was not the lawyer wanted, for neither
was indicted"
~ After this very clear exposition of facts, Mr.
Harding and his assistant, Joseph Keeling were
asked about the proceedings. Both gentlemen
refused to affirm or refute the story of the Jour
nails informant. 1t is certain, however, that the
grand jury failed to indct either the Eighteenth
ward man or Sterling Holt. It is believed IN
formation will be filed against the parties who
have thus escaped through the favor of partisan
friends.
