PERJURY IN THE COURTS.
4 Sweeping Charge Made by Nev
York Judge.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1l.-"Hardly a case is
tried in the courts in which perjury is not
committed"
This sweeping statement was msde by
Judge Thomas in the criminal branch OF
the United States circuit court in h S
charge 10 the grand Jury. He made it in
connection With the possible finding Of in
dictments for naturalization frauds.
In this court. as well as that Of the
Eastern district. said he. there are is
sued annually a large number OF natural
izaticn papers. naturalization Is a judi
cial proceeding because evidence is taken
as TO whether or not the applicant is en-
titled to citizenship, and a report Is made
to the court before it grants the naturali-
zation certificate.
In many judicial proceedings perjury
is committed Hardly a case is tried in the
courts in which perjury IS not committed
by somebody interested on either side Of
cover the peTjureT. 1t is possible that
there may have been perjury in connection
with some of the naturalization papers.
Superintendent McCullagh, although nat
uralization In the Federal courts is not
within his province as a State offence. has
favorable opportunities OF uneartbing
frauds IN connection with election mat
ters, and he has promised to lay what in
formation he possesses before the United
States grand jury, and it will be your
duty to consider it and ascertain If such
evidence warrants the finding of indict-
meuts "
