JERsEy Cry, April 2.-The April term Of
the Hudson county grand jury opened
yesterday. Many politicians wene there to
listen to Judge knapp's charge. as they an
ticipated that he would refer to the whole
sale stuiilng and "doctoringn Of ballot boxss
at the fall election. They were not disab-
pointed. The judge not only touched On
that crime, but read lecture TO the Jury
concerning its duty. After summarizing the
disclosures before the senate committee, he
pointed ont to the jurors the serious nature
Of the oifense, and the fact that they alone
could start the guilty on the road TO punish
ment. The Judge had nothing to do with
selecting a grand jury, and could not force
it to indict even the most hagrant offender.
