In his charge to the grand jury, Judge
Waters stated that so tar as he was in
formed the business at this term of court
would be of the usual character and that
the majority of offenses would probably
consist of misdemeanors. He said that
in the examination of the witnesses, the
jurors should exercise good sound judg-
ment and if they found evidence which, if
uncontradicted, would prove a violation
of law, it was their duty to make a pre-
sentiment. He particularly emphasized
the fact that the grand jury must not try
cases and that all that it was required to
do was to examine the States witnesses.
He cautioned them in regard to the re-
liability of witnesses and only advised
presentments on evidence which was of
creditable character. He particularly
emphasized the fact that it was their
duty to bring presentments fcrthe viola
ton of every law no matter what the
personal feeling of the jury might be as
regards its popularity of any particular
| statute.
The following compose the petit jury:
