Is IT proper for Judge to scold a
Grand Jury from the bench for refusing
to indict person whom the Judge thinks
ought to be indicted3
This question is suggested by an occur
renee on Tuesday in the Court of Quarter
Sessions of Hudson county, New Jersey.
In discharging the Grand Jury, Judge
John A. Blair said:
'"The whole Court has examined the
testimony taken before you in the Sullivan
case, and it is the unanimous and unquali-
fed opinion of the Court that the evidence
was such and sufficient for you to have
found an indictment. To take no notice
of such negligent or wilful disregard of
duty on your part, and to permit you to
depart with the thanks of the public from
the Court would be equivalent to an ac-
acknowledgement of an agreement between
the Grand Jury and the Court not to pro-
secute and punish manifest violations of
law"
1t seems that the Jurors thus addressed
constituted the third Grand Jury which
had refused to find an indictment against
the person mentioned by Judge Blair
The foreman asked the Judge for leave to
say word in response to the rebuke from
the bench, but this favor was peremptorily
refused.
Now it is to be noted that the Constitu-
tion and the laws of those States in which
the Grand Jury system is preserved do
not leave it to the Judges to say who
shall be indicted. That function is con-
ferred upon the Grand Jury; and if they
determine that man ought not to be in
dicted and that they will not find an in
dictment against him, all the Judges in
the State together cannot change the
result.
OF course if Grand Jury is induced
by corruption or friendship or cowardice
to ignore an accusation where they ought
to find an indictment, they are properly
censurable by somebody; but should they
be reprimanded publicly by the Judge of
the court in which they are serving,
simply because the evidence which he has
read in a certain case convinces him that
they should have indicted person against
whom no indictment has been found
And should such rebuke have been fol-
lowed by refusal to permit any explana-
ton from the foreman 2 Might it not well
be that testimony which reads like the
truth seemed unworthy of credit when
heard from the mouths of the witnesses
before the Grand Jury?
1t should be borne In mind that juries,
whether Grand Juries or trial jurles. are in
tended to be as independent in their sphere
The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1901-12-10

JURORS, especially grand jurors, have
been receiving attention at the hands of
the court recently. In one case there was
censure because the body did not return
indictments as the court thought they
should have done. One judge, in charg
ing the jury. said it was the duty of that
body to take up business in the order pre-
sented by the Prosecutor of the Pleas.
We do not believe grand jury is in any
way subject to the orders of the Prose
cutor. 1t has not been very great while
since Judge Garrison charged grand
jury that the Prosecutor only sat in the
room with them through their courtesy.
He had no absolute right in the matter,
and they were at liberty to request him to
withdraw at any time A Prosecutor is
quite help in the matter of framing in
dictments, but when he enters into the
discussion of question and makes sug-
gestions as to the action of the jury he
oversteps his privileges. AS an illustra-
ton of this we recall how Prosecutor
once informed a grand jury that if it
found bill he would not attempt to call
the case for trial. The jury informed him
that it was not a matter of concern tc
them if he refused to do his sworn duty
They found the bill and told him the re-
sponsibility rested on his shoulders. A
jury is to act on the testimony presented
to it. If any one official is to dictate its
actions the entire matter of indictments
might as well be left to him, and the jury
system be abolished.

PRESIDENT RoosEvELT's first message
was given to the public on Tuesday. 1t
was published in all the daily papers, and
has probably been read by majority of
the readers of THE News. One of the
best features of the message was that it
could be read and understood by all.
Comment on the message was decidedly
favorable, even the partisan opponents
of the President admitting the fairness
and soundness of the document. One of
the best compliments paid the message
was by an old Democrat who said he had
read the paper carefully twice and he had
been unable to find single flaw in it.
THERE was but one scene to mar the
solemnity of the execution of murderer
Brown on Tuesday, and for that Sheriff
Fenton was not at all responsible. Up to
within short time before the hour set
for the hanging Brown had been kept in
ignorance of the fact Young had been
granted respite. When he did hear of
1t he became greatly excited, proclaiming
against the injustice of the situation and
declaring that Young deserved hanging
as well as he did. The thought of how
the matter stood frenzied the unfortunate
man and increased his determination to
make desperate chance to escape. That
he was recaptured without any injury or
loss of life is wonderful and cause for
congratulation.
SEVERAL thoughts have been brought
forward by the occurrence at the prison
last week when murderer Charles Brown
attempted to escape on the very threshold
of the gallows. One is that there should
be cage in the prison for criminals of a
desperate character, that their every act
might be noticed. Another idea Is that
criminals who are likely to take desperate
chances to escape should be attired in
clothing indicative of their position. A
murderer awaiting trial under sentence of
death should wear a convict suit the same
as an inmate of the state prison does.
Suppose Charles Brown had escaped to the
street on Tuesday, what chance would
tnere nave been Tor his capturef 1nere
are many people who knew him and if
they had seen him going down our main
street would have been likely to remark
there goes man that looks like Brown, !"
and then with the knowledge that he was
to pay the penalty of his crime on that
day, would dismiss the thought. A prison
suit would have been evidence that some
thing had gone wrong. Prisoners have
escaped from officers on their way to or
from court house. A prison suit would
aid greatly in recapturing such. If there
is no law preventing such procedure Sher-
if Fenton would be wise to consider the
subject of prison suits for criminals for
whose safe keeping he is responsible.
