TRY TO INFLUENCE JURY.
TO Avo1D INDICTMENTS.
Friends of accused Nevcark officials
Are at York.

Since the Essex County grand jury at New
ark by instructions of Chief Justice Gummere'
took up the matter Of the slaughter OK the Eihe
high school children at the Clifton-ave. cross
ing. the apprehension has been widespread tna'
the jury might be Influenced to refrain from IN
dictrnents, and merely make presentment 10
the court as was done in some previous cases.
notably one in which. Though indictments were
found by a grand jury, the day that the
grand Jury inuuest adjourned the indictments
were reconsidered, and only presentment was
brought into the court.
The evidence taken before the coroner's jury
in the Cifton-ave. crossing case was Conclusive
as to the responsibility Of trolley oflcials anu
employees and of the public authorities IN new
ark and their evidence was laid before the
grand jury, which also examined other wiz
nesses.
-Four days ago it was whispered about the
courthouse that the grand jury had already oe-
cided on a number Of indictments and the
names Of men connected with the trolley COM
pany were mentioned. It was also declared
that there was to be presentment in the cases
of public officials. These whispers and probable
information leaking out Of the grand jury room
started up the friends Of the accused inolVlouaiS
to make efforts to prevent the threatened action
by the grand jury.
The Jury has turned its attention to otner
matters but 1t liz credloiy stared tndL Ihs Jun
men have been met at all sides, at their homes
and In their places OF business, by influences ex-
erted in behalf of the men implicated. Said
well known lawyer who has a personal acquaInP-
ance with most Of the grand jurymen:
"If the jury brings in indictments OF men OF
any consequence it will be most creditanle to
the grand jury system.
"I am Informed that the 1urynen are 1olo"eo
to their houses and business places by people
and are fairly run down by them. don say
what these visitors want, but think that II
the court should question the members OF the
fury the latter might tell Of visits Of people and
what their errands were.
You can easily how much inducement
there Is in the present case to waylay members
OF the grand jury. when it Is q matter OF indict"
rnent of important personages
The grand jury has asked no instructions from
the court In matters Of law the jury is advised
by the county prosecutor. who frames the IN
dctments when made. The instructions by the
Chief Justice to the grand jury were to make
a thorough investigation and indict those shown
to be responsible for the grade crossing Tragedy
The general belief is that these instructions
have been faithfully obeyed and that there are
important indictments forthcoming If the grand
jury is not led to change It's mind
