In his charge to the jury, the court
impressed upon them the Importance of
their duties and explained that all
questions of law were to be decided
for them by the Attorney General. The
right of indictment and the necessity
for absolute secrecy We're also elabOr-
ated upon by his honor.
In the course of his charge the court
said:
Il charge you to investigate fearless
ly and vigorously conditions relative
TO the sale of intoxicating liquors with
in this Jurisdiction by individuals, or
by corporations under any circum-
stances without a proper license to do
so, and further to investigate with the
same zeal the sale of intoXicants by
those who have a license to sell but
who violate the provisions of their Ii
cense.
ton of the Board of Health in burn
ing or otherwise destroying private
property under any pretense whatever.
1T is needles to remind you that the
purest pride of country is the preser-
walton of purity in our homes In pre-
serving the sancity of the home and
home circle, we are only paying the
great debt which we owe to ciViliZa-
ton, to do this it is necessary to keep
the streams of respect and love, con-
stancy and morality which surround
our loved ones copious and salutary
and constantly replenish these original
fountains with fresher and brighter
coloring to the sacred domain of home.
If waning and perishing races in other
years entertained ditrerenI views on
the subject of ethics we are not respon-
sibe but we should ever remember
that all things honest of good repute
and full of honor ever known to the
government of the children of men have
owed their existence their excellence
and their glory to that rule of action
which was given under the open sky
by that great law giver on the plains
of Palestine twenty centuries ago.
Il charge you that the disdain and
the OblOquy of a naughty and impious
element in community should not de-
ter you from a most vigorous and eX-
haustive investigation of all violations
of the law under Chapter 10, of our
Penal Laws of 1897.
THE existence or nOn-eXistence of
what we choose to term itinerant broth
els for want of better name, manipu-
lated by drivers of vehicles for hire
at the expense, request or permission
either expressed or implied of owners,
managers or others in their control,
is a proper subject for your most dill
gent inquiry.
THE co-mingling of persons of OPP
pOsite sex in open and notorious adul-
terry as defined by Sec. SO of Chapter
10, of our Penal Laws of 1897, is a
shameless insult to our civilization and
to public decency and a dissertation to
the sanctity of the home circles; it is
a social pestilence which if tolerated
with impunity leads mothers to desert
their babes and husbands their wives
and leaves the home in moral desti-
tuition, and endangers the peace and
comfort to health and happiness of pos
terity. 1t is your duty in all these mat
tiers. or other matters of like character
which you may as individuals know
or which may be brought to your at
tentiOn by any one"
