when the jurors had been sworn to do
sneir dusy Judge Humes read his instruc-
hons, having committed them to writing
'nas they might not be misquoted.
Judge Humes hrst told them that A. T.
van ae santer was appointed as foreman
and told them OF their duties, telling them
they we're to inquire into the cases Of
all persons charged with crimes Of
any sort. After this he launched
out upon the Krug case. He
told the jury that the power of taxation
WAS one OF the highest in the possession
OF . government. for which reason all
ofnciais entrusted with funds so
raised should be most carefully Sc
iected and most severely punished
when found guilty of making
any improper use OF them. The sections
OF the penal code, IS and ST. defining the
crime OF endorsement were then read.
Aidcrs and abettors under the state law,
the judge said. we're equally guilty with
principals.
The management Of public institutions
and the willful misconduct of county Of
hcials was also subject for the considera-
alton of grand jury. and in this connec-
ton the jury was charged to investigate
fully the charges made against the county
officials in connection with the county
almshouse and to bring to trial all those
found guilty OF any violation of the law.
Next thu kind OF evidence to be consid-
cred was told TO the jury. Only legal evil
dsnce 70 the exclusion of hearsay evidence
or reports were TO be considered. Then
the usual cautions of secrecy both dur
ing the session and after 1t adjourn
ment and forever after were given. Twelve
members OF the jury at least must vote to
indict; mere majority would not suffice.
All evidence against any person not In
dicted should at ence be destroyed with
all minutes in relation thereto.
The jurymen were instructed to use
their own convenience for meeting, but
the court recommended the hours Of the
court session from 0 80 q. m. 70 5 p. m, a.
all communications conid At that time be
made TO the court most easily. This in
junction closed the instructions.
