GRAND JURY WITNESSES.

We say thatltis an outrage to re-
quire witnesses before the Grand
Jury to lose their time and pay their
own expenses, all for the good of
society, and get nothing for it. So
ciety should pay for its protection,
and the law should be changed so
as to give witnesses pay. The ar
gument against this, that il would
be very expensive, IS no argument
at all. IL would be no more expen-
siye for the tax payers than it is for
the witnesses now, and there would
be more to bear the burden. Tyler
County Star.
That's afact. The PosT has,
time and again, advocated pay for
witnesses. At the February term
OF Court in Monongalia, dozens of
witnesses were summoned--many of
them poor men--who had to come
here at their own expense. Such
system is outrageous. MorgantOtcn
Post.
We endorse the above most heart
lily, and hope that every paper in
the State will take mp the matter
and keep it agitated till change is
accomplished and witnesses before
the Grand Jury paid same as others.
1t is an outrage to compel witnesses,
very often poor men who can i'll
afford to lose the time let alone pay
their own expenses, to leave their
work and families and spend several
days and several dollars for board
and travelling expenses to go before
the Grand Jury in some petty mat
ter that may amount to nothing
and get nc recompense for it. About
the only argument offered in sup
port Of the law as it is now, IS that
If witnesses before the Grand Jury
were paid, the Court would be over
run with every little fracas in the
county, whether it amounted to
anything or not, and everybody
would be trying to get summoned
before the Grand Jury, but there is
no sense or reason 1R this excuse,
as the States Attorney and other
officers, whose duty it is to have
the witnesses summoned, ale sup
posed to be mon of good judgment
and sense enough to discriminate in
regard to sncA matters. At our
recent session of Circuit Court,
over one hundred witnesses were
summoned before the Grand Jury,
and many OF them from quite a
distance. The Jury was in session
four days and very fine weather,
and perhaps every one of those
witnesses had to neglect his own
business and come here at loss to
himself. Some of them rebelled
and refused to come. They were
arrested and brought into Court,
and some of them fined and some
sent to Jail also. One man in par
ticular, who is one of the busiest
and most successful of the business
men of the county, refused to come
because he declared that he knew
nothing, and had been summoned
IN petty case at the instance of a
party who wanted to annoy him,
and as he could hardly get away
from his large business interests,
he failed to come and thought to
get out of it by paying fine, but
he was arrested and brought into
Court, fined and sent to jail. OF
course the majesty of the law mnst
be upheld, but it looks hard to thus
compel citizens to neglect their own
interests aud serve the State for
nothing when the State is we'll able
to pay for all such services. We
say, give us-nOt more law, but
changes In what we have, and
changes for the better.
