uIs JUDGMENT AT FAULr.

s ProAecuting Attorney McEiroy's poll
hey Of compromising criminal eases does
not meet the approval OF the special
grand itiry, and it unanimously rec
ommcnds1 that the charges against
smith, Isieaion. Boyce and others be In
vestlgass FED and prosecuted TO the full
extent .of the law. II it was Mr.. Nc
Eiroy's expectation In soliciting the
Calling OF this grand jury that he would
bee indicated in his course. he has
fbeen disappointed. tie has been most
signally rebuked To he sure. he is ac-
quilted of any corrupt or illegal act,
but we have not heard that he had been
charged with venality or corruption
from any responsible source: So this
finding liz entirely supererogatory.
The dismissal Of the Smith suit Is
considerably pronounced an error of
judgment" We cannot refrain from an
expression of regret that the prose
cutting attorney should be- held solely
accountable for the questionable act of
accepting the $1,000 from Smith. even
on the ground that the county treasury
would be benefited in that amount. II
will be remembered that he sought the
advice OF number OF personal and POI
itIcaI friends as To the most practicable
disposition OF the Smith case. 1t must
have been a coincidence that he asked
counsel at a certain conference only
from gentlemen prominent In the aft
fairs OF the heterogeneous elements Of
the fusion party as to what should be
done about the prosecution of an ex-
Republican officehoider. II WAS then
decided that 10 would be IA judicious
thing To drop the prosecution and take
Smiths money. We VIII not say that
this strange proceeding was suggestive
OF compromising a felony. because
We are quite prepared TO accept the
Grand jury's conclusion that ii was
simply an error Of Judgment But We
