| lerstown; Mrs. Lou Cunningham of Evans
| City; A. NJ. Lusk of Zelienople and Jacob

year.

OF to any person unknown to him; and in
a previous paper he pledged himself never
to again apply for license.

disclaimer being filed in the case of Mrs.
| Lou Cunningham, but we could not find it
among the papers in the case.

The grand jury of Allegheny Co. III
their presentment hit back at Judge.
White as follows: "Thisjury is composed Of

Not one of US is learned in the law, nor
are any of US politicians with personal
ambition who might prefer record of
speed in the discharge of the busine SIS,
rather than justice in the consideration of
cases laid before u.s.
"No member of this jury had friends to
reward or enemies to punish. and the de-
cision reached in every case was based on
the evidence before us, the exercise of our
best judgment, and sincere regard for
the sanctity of our oaths. We held in
high estimation the charge and instruc-
tions of the learned Judge presiding, and
in no case were we unmindful of the sug
gestion of the Court as to economy IN
time and consideration of the county's in
terest in matter of costs, and our work
has been as rapid as consistence with JUS
tice would permit, and our findings in ac-
cordance with our best judgement and con-
science
'ln this connection, and with profound
respect for the Court, we may remind the
Court that where in our judgment bill
was returned "ignoramus," and Subse-
quentlv sent back to US from the Court,
and true bill" returned, on the trial of
the case the defendant was found not
guilty, and the county saddled with the
costs.
'It has been suggested that grand juries
have become useless bodies. and we beg
to concur in this view, if the conscience
as well as the functions of the jury may
be directed and controlled.
