witness before you, may incriminate
himself if he chooses to waive his
rights. However, in any case, and to
the end only that truth and justice
may prevail, if you should have good
and sufficient reason to suspect in
sanity on the part of the accused, or
any other eXculpating fact, or that the
charge before you is groundless and the
accused innocent then you ought TO
call for the evidence of these facts.
1T is contrary to common sense and
natural justice that an innocent person
should be indicted when you have suf-
fcient reason to believe that there is
other evidence not presented to you,
but within your reach, which would
qualify or explain away the charge un-
der investigation.
Regarding the examination into the
condition and affairs of the various
public offices and institutions within
this Judicial Circuit, unless, for special
reasons brought to your attention, it is
not strictly your duty to inquire into
their management, And the Court, so
far as it is advised at this time, has
nothing in particular to call your at
tention to in this behalf, But your
attention is particularly called to the
frequent and numerous robberes bur
glaries, thefts and murderous assaults
with knives, pistols and other deadly
weapons, which have been committed
in Honolulu recently. In these mat
ters, Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, it
will be your duty to seek to bring every
such law breaker to justice. | can
assure you in this behalf the hearty
cooperation and assistance of the De-
partments of the Attorney General and
of the High Sheriff as well as that Of
every good citizen. 1t should go forth
to the world that Honolulu is a most
desirable and pleasant home for the
honest and law-abiding citizen and
equally as unpleasant for the law
breaker and criminal.
However, in the interest of economy,
but not losing sight of duty and justice
| | urge upon you the absolute necessity
| and importance of limiting your inVes-
| legations so far as is possible and con-
| sistent with the rights of the public, TO
actual or alleged crimes, which inves-
] legations may be conducted entirely
within the Grand Jury room and with
out the waste of valuable time at un-
| necessary expense of unnecessary eX-
| cursions around the city and Island.
| And, even in such Indispensable inves-
! legations, which you will be obliged to
make, while there must be thorough
and complete work in these matters,
/ also urge upon you the importance of
being prompt, energetic, persistent and
| expeditions in your official labors, COM
| pleting the same with all reasonable
dispatch. In the administration of
justice, absolute honesty, fearlessness
impartiality energy and system, are
indispensable ingredients"
