Referring to the business on hand, the
Recorder said:
Gentlemen of the Jury, from menu
orandum handed me by the District-At-
torney l learn that there are now in the
prisons of this city some $50 persons.
Two hundred and eighty of the cases
have already been indicted, leaving sew
enty-three of these for you to investi-
gate. The number is unusually large for
this time OF the year. but | deem that
this Is due to the unusually bad times,
and must be disposed Of"
The only suggestion made by the Re-
corder that pointed In any way to the
police cases or other municipal abuses
was contained In tlis paragraph:
AT this season OF the year II Is not
usual to call the attention of the Grand
Jury to cases not actually In confinement
for the plain reason that the heat with
which we are all suffering makes all
work iIksome. and work not absolutely
necessary u great burden. Later In thf
season the Court may have occasion tc
call your attention to other matters OF
public interest, but at this time see NJ
reason for directing your attention tC
any cases not now In custody"
The Recorder Contented himself with
reading the law of the Grand Jury
room" which enjoins Grand Juries that
1t IL their duty to inquire into any al
legged misconduct of any public official
and indict such official when, In Its
Judgment, the legal evidence at theii
command warrants such action.
