District court convened at Mt. Idaho

Logan, presiding. After the grand jury
were sworn the judge charged them as
follows:
Gentlemen Of the Grand Jury.:-
The law makes it my duty, in empan-
cling grand jury, to instruct them as
to how they shall proceed. 1t is hardly
necessary for me to instruct you much
further in your duties than those which
are laid down in the oath which your
foreman has taken. In the first place,
it is your duty to receive any complaint
that may be made before you in regard
to any crime that may have been COM
mitted, whoever it may be presented
by. Any person has the right to present
a charge to the grand jury, which they
must consider. The grand jurors them
selves, if they know a crime has been
committed, have a right to call the at
tention of their fellow grand jurors to it
for their investigation, and the district
attorney should present to you for in
vestigation all crimes which may have
been committed in the county.
