Eight of the Members Ask to be Dis
charged From Duty.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 13.-There was
an exciting scene yesterday afternoon in
the courtroom of Judge Trout, Presd-
ing Judge of the Superior Court of this
city, when eight members Of the Grand
Jury requested their discharge, on the
ground that they were unable to accom-
plish anything. 1t has long been known
that certain members of the Grand jury
were in favor of taking up the work Of
the late Grand Jury, declared illegal by
the Supreme Court. The evidence on
which that body based its indictments
has been fully considered by the present
jury, and strenuous attempts made by
the minority to have similar indictments
found. After heated discussion the
minority determined to give it up as a
useless question.
Ihe entire Grand Jury filed into Judge
Iroutts courtroom shortly after 5 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, ana Foreman LIE
Count presented partial report contain
ing indictments, one against Is. Mendels-
shot, Police Court lawyer, charged with
crooked work in connection with bail
bonds. The other was kept secret. After
TINS Alfred Bouvier, a member Of th e
Jury, presented petition to the court. 1t
read as follows:
WHEREAS, We are members of the present
Grand Jury, convened by your honorable
court, and whereas, we find it impossible be-
ing IN the minority, 10 secure certain indict-
ments which IN our judgment are right and
proper in view OF the evidence offered; and
whereas, q continuance of the Grand Jury
under these circumstances would be useless
waste of your petitioners time and energy
and a consequent hardship to their business,
we do, therefore, beg that you discharge us
from further duty as Grand Jurors.
The petition was signed by Alfred
Bowler, Henry l.. Davis, II. II. Scott,
