The grand jury has found an

attempting TO bribe the jurors in the Hem
Messy case. Isis notin pleasant frame Of

covery that there 10 no law TO punish
the offenders. The bribery act
covering the matter has no penal clause
In the disgust which came over the body it
could not decide on special report. The
defense In the jury bribery cases is also
making strong attempt to prove a defect
In the law. All the parties approached by
the indicted parties were tales jurors, and
the act only mentions grand aud petit
1uries. That is the principal ground Of the
demurrer argued yesterday, aud Judge
Marr promised to give decision soon. The
situation ia exasperating. and some strong
