1t will be noticed that there are but twenty
four names in the list of the petit jury, no
one yet having been drawn in place of Thomas
day and returned ''dead' on the venre.
Judge Waters, in his charge to the grand
jury, said:
''Your duties, gentlemen, ARE, perhaps, the most
important of any branch of the court. The
court is forbidden i'll selecting gentlemen to
serve in your position to pay any attention to
political affiliations. 1t is required TO select
persons with reference to their integrity, in
telligence and sobriety. The character and
duties, as well the manner in which you
are required to perform them, are very clearly
expressed in the oath you have just taken.
1t must have impressed you that in your pres
ent capacity you are to lay aside individual
prejudices and favor, and are to look upon
everything simply as citizens of the State,
and regard the good order and society above
everything else You are to leave all indivd-
ual prejudices, as far as possible, out of the
jury room, and to present all things
truly as they come to your knowledge, with
out fear, favor or affection, without regard to
the consequences to any other individual to
present all things truly. There is no one so
high that the power of the grand jury cannot
reach them there is no one so low that the
power of the grand jury cannot protect them.
''Your oath requires that you shall keep Sc
cret all that occurs in the jury room. There
are several reasons for this one is the protec-
ton of the individual members of the grand
jury; to prevent your being called to any ac-
count outside of what occurs there that you
shall not be responsible outside for any action
therein. 1t is important that you should OBJ
serve this
1T is your privilege and your duty if you
find necessity for it, to apply either to the
Court or the States Attorney, for Instruction.
There is one thing, although | think it
hardly worth while for me to referto it, 1t is
simply to expedite your work as much as pos
sible. Have witnesses you want summoned
promptly, and get through with the business of
the term as soon as it is possible to do so.
''lf any criminal matters have occurred in
your vicinity or locality or neighborhood it
is your duty to report such matters to the
court. No doubt you will have Il great deal
of information voluntarily about persons who
want their individual grievances settled.
These you must receive with proper allow
ance. You will find, no doubt as other grand
juries have, great deal of so-called criminal
business is not criminal business at all. If
you find any such cases as have spoken of it
is a very good plan to indict both sides and
let the petit jury determine which is the most
to b anne, and whether both or none.
ut is not your province to try cases you
are simply to examine the States evidence,
and, if you find the testimony will justi-
fly the petit jury in IL conviction, if the
evidence before you is not contradicted,
then 1t is proper case for indct-
ment, but it is not proper that you should
indiCt on mere suspicion aud rely on the
States Attorney to find evidence applicable,
which is sometimes done. You are not eX-
pected to examine witnesses for the defense {;
it is simply the States evidence you are TO ex-
anime"

company which Col. Taylor took in part pay
for his work. This stock was claimed by one
