NO QUESTION OF
JURY'S AUTHORITY
One Gentleman Says Report
Makes Members Liable
to Suit.

Ir discussing the report Of the Richmond
grand jury IN the matter Of the municipal
Investigation now going on here. PROM
inent gentleman, who is a lawyer by pro-
fcssion, though net e. practitioner at this
time, raised the point last night that the
Jury had exceeded the scope Of its au-
thority in bringing in O lengthy report,
and then in making It public. He further
contended that each and every member
had laid himself liable to O damage suit
by any who may be affected by the ro-
port He said. in his opinion. the body
had no right to do more than to pass
on specific cases before 1t, and then to
only say 1t had or had not found true
bills in such cases.
This view, however. is combatted strong
" by three or four of the a,blest criminal
lawyers in the city. One of them said:
You may state for me that, in my judy
rlent there Is no sort OF doubt that the
grand jury acted entirely within the scope
of its authority, and clearly within the:
bounds of the law Another said: 1T
is one of the inherent results of the COM
mon law that grand Jury may bring
in detailed report of an Investigation.
without finding any npecific indictments
The matter Of making the report public
vas entirely proper
Other good lawyers agreed with the
views given above, and from what can be
gathered the jury clearly did not exceed
its authority or transcend the law In
making it's report public.
A recent case in point is that in St
Louis, where the grand Jury brought in
several detailed reports before it found
any indictments.
