WORK WITHOUT FEAR OR FAVOR
IS 1T A REBUKE TO FELLOWS ?

The new Grand Jury, sworn in before
Judge Cowing to-day in Part l. OF the
Court Of General Sessions, has been in
structed to probe the matter OF police
corruption.
District-Attorney John r. Fellows
some time ago was asked II he in
tended to call the attention OF the
Grand Jury to the charges against
police captains made by Lexow wit
nesses, and returned an evasive answer.
Judge Cowing's charge to the Grand
Jury, therefore. although Col. Fellows s
name was not mentioned in it, is in the
nature of an implied rebuke to the
Distrct-Attorney.
Judge Cowing charged the Grand Jury
10 take up all cases against police off,
cials, to thoroughly sift the evidence and
indict them, without fear or favor" II
the evidence should justify it.
He said that II was time that the
great public scandal Of police bribery
was taken hold Of by the courts, and
very impressvely called upon the Grand
Jury to begin the work.
There are but sixty-seven prison
cases" he said These will first claim
your attention. 1t should not take you
more than a week to dispose OF them.
Then you will begin on the others
ut is a matter OF public notoriety
that certain police officials are charged
with corruption.
You must investigate all charges OF
that description. The Police Commits
sioners make the rules and regulations
for the government OF the Police Depart
ment and for the discipline of the force
but there is a higher law than they have
TO administer-a law which provides a
penalty for those who are derelict or cor
Tupt in office.
your duty is to take up those cases
and to thoroughly sift the evidence.
1t Is your bounden duty to do this
without fear or favor.
1T is deplorable fact that the police
ofcials have done those things which
call for your attention. The crime OF a
pickpocket or burglar is bad enough,
but this shakes the whole fabric OF So
ciety. and must not and will not be toll
Grated.
Justice must be melted out to them. -
Judge Cowing also drew the atten-
don Of the Grand Jury TO the highway
fobheries which have been so frequent OF
late, and told them to pay particular at.
