COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Denver Grand Jury Discharged.


Judge Booth Malone, of the District
Court at Denver, on the 18th instant
vacated the order for the grand jury
which was summoned to investigate
the alleged charter election and regis.
tration frauds. The motion for the re-
moval of the sheriff and coroner, and
the appointment of elsors to summon
a new grand jury, made by the attor-
neys of the Honest Election League,
was first denied, after which the judge
announced his decision discharging
the grand Jurors.
In his decision Judge Malone adj
dressed the panel present as follows
But, gentlemen, the court desires
to say a word to those of you who
have been summoned to appear here
as grand Jurors.
THE court wishes to express his
high regard for you, collectively and
individually. Some of you the court
has known personally and somewhat
intimately for several years. and the
court now takes pleasure in saying
that It believes the general personnel
of this jury will rank as high in man.
hood, standing and character as that
Va uhs jury Wlihll tHlS StdtSb
within the knowledge of this court
And yet, gentlemen, the court feels
compelled, In justice to you and the
court, to say that no unbiased friend
of the court or of the jury, and no
true lover of justice who is familiar
with the situation and condition of
things as they now appear before the
court and jury, can honestly believe
that any real benefits or practical re-
suits will or likely can be secured to
the public at this time under the eX-
listing conditions.
"The court believes that were you
to attempt to enter upon the duties
OF a grand jury at this time you would
be compelled to act without the ap-
proyal, sympathy or support of large
part of the general public and of the
very parties who have invoked the
power of the court to have a grand
jury called.
The court believes that no matter
what you might do, or how you might
do, your actions and even your mo-
tives will be misjudged and miscon.
strued.
You would enter upon your du.
ties, discredited and handicapped by
the actions and the attitude of the
very parties to whom you would nat
urally have the right to look for en-.
enlargement and assistance.
81 do not believe, therefore, that
you ought TO be compelled to strug.
gle with the disadvantages and sub
nit to the unjust aspersibns and crit
icisms that are bound to follow you
under the circumstances. for none Of
which circumstances you are in any
wise to blame.
THE order heretofore made by the
court upon the 18th day of September
directing the sheriff to summon
grand jury, will be and the same
hereby is vacated and rescinded."

their outspoken disapprOval Of the de

emphasized their attitude by walking
out OF the Cabinet room in the foreign
office before the signatures of the

document. which has already been
