THE GRAND JURY.
The grand jury, whose duty 1t will be
to consider the anarchist cases, was
called together to-day. The court room
freely made on the appearance OF the
jurors who responded to the call OF their
names. The impression was that they
were an Intelligent body OF men. Judge
Rogers made his charge substantially as
follows:
We hear a good deal lately of what consti.
tutes freedom OF speech. There is no cOnsti-
tutional right for men to assemble and en-
gage in wild harangues and incendiary
speech. These men must be held responsible
for what they incite others to do. That ls the
spirit of the law. 1t is only your province TO
deal with crimeS-With acts that have been
committed.
THE BILL OF RIGHTS.
Nevertheless, the history of the last few
days viii make il necessary for me to advert
to other matters than the actual commission
of crime as well as the commission of ohenses
against the law. The bill of rights OF the
state of Illinois incorporates the general
principles of the constitution of the
United States. Men may assemble and
discuss these matters by the constitutional
rights OF freedom of speech, but they are held
responsible for what they say. IL men are in
cited to riot, arson and other unlawful acts
the men responsible for this may be held an
swerable for the results. Mere spectators,
mere lookers-on are not the ones only, but
the men who advised the commission OF the
crimes are guilty parties as well.
LIABILITY OF THE HARANGUERs.
The principles of the law inculcate the doc
triue that men who teach riot, who lnclte un-
lawful gatherings to incendlarY acts are re-
sponsbe for the effects of these rantings
The red flag is a public menace. IL is
an emblem that no quarter will
be given. The police have q right
to suppress these people TO prevent the com
m ission OF crime. They have right to quell
! all such disturbances, and the police and
Chief Magistrate of the city did their duty
when the time came and acted like men--the
| noblest work OF God.
Before quoting the law on the subject, Judge
| Rogers diverted to the recent labor troubles
| lie said: They have attracted the notice Of
| the country at large, but don't want TO lay
| the trouble to any one nationality.
INDIVIDUALS TO BLAME.
''It is not nationalitiesSbut individuals that
are to blame. 1t is not Irish or Germans or
| BOhemians as a nationality. All these peO-
pie love peace. Men have the right to strike
| They have the right to quit work if they
please, but when they go one step further and
say that others have not the right to work
they violate the law and can be punished. 1t
Is not only the principals that may be held
responsible, but accessories as well. He or
| they who stand idly by after having advised
| violence committed NAV be heid equally to
blame with the principals"
Judge Rogers then dismissed the jury
who retired to their room and went into
session. The day was so far gone that
nothing was done by the body further
than to perfect its organization and ar
range the duration Of its hours.
