Judge Waters, in his charge to the Grand
Jury, said he was not aware of any special
gross violations of the law likely to come be-
fore them. He also said
1.-THE only thing l would charge you in re-
gard to, gentlemen, is, to make the session of
the Grand Jury as short as possible waste no
time, or rs little time possible. in the inves-
tigation of facts III cases. MY experience has
been that a great deal of the time of the Grand
Jury is wasted in investigating cases that
amount to nothing, one way or the other.
Persons who are interested get large number
of witnesses to go before the Grand jury about
matters which might be Of some Importance
to them, personally, but no Importance to the
public at large-nO importance so far as the
business of the county is concerned and so
would caution you to try to avoid this as far
as possible. If you find that witnesses are be-
ing summoned before you improperly, report
it to the court and shall adopt some way to
stop it. l know this is done, sometimes.
When a case is brought before you and you
| find that it is of trifling character, abandon
| it as soon as you find that out. There's no
| use in spending the time and putting the coun-
ty to the expense of bringing great number
of witnesses here over great many trifiing
cases which should never be brought before
| the Grand Jury"
