DR.. MGILLS ADDRESS.
DR.. McGill made q notable address, eulo-
glsing the Grand Jury, and referring with
pleasant recollections, to Sheriff stanton.
Among other things he said
Il am confident that the work of the Sep
tsmbsr Grand Jury stands equally as well as
any other Grand Jury which has been yet
drawn in this county. Further, think the
work will compare most favorably with any
Grand Jury which is yet to be empanelled.
cannot cite one Grand Jury at present
that in any better way performed
its work than the jury of September, 1898. L
am truly proud of it and its accomplish
ments 1t has proven itself fearless body,
and in every instance where it was made
clear to the Jury that any wrong doing was
being conducted in the county, the Grand
Jury, when such evidence came into its pos
session, dealt summarily with the culprits
and malefactors.
THE members were all earnest in their
work, and all strove to do his utmost to
satisfy the ends of justice. In reference to
the criticism which has been made by the
press respecting the Grand Jury, can say
that at no time were our actions influenced
by their dictations and abuse. In most in
stances their criticisms were unwarranted
and should never have been published. Our
Investigations in all cases were thorough, and
we carried out our vows in every direction,
irrespective Of party. This may truly be
said about the Grand Jury, that in its
twenty eight sessions there were no political
arguments connected in any shape with its
decisions or work"
Other members made addresses and the
good time ended in the wee sma' hours.
