A B OIL S Il
GRAND JURY
MINNESOTA BY HEAVY MAJORITY
FOLLOWS LEAD OF WlscoN-
SIN AND NORTH DAKOTA.

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 2S.-By vote
of over 121,000 the constitutional
amendment directing the legislature
to abolish the grand Jury system was
adopted in Minnesota.
Wisconsin and North Dakota courts
are working without grand juries, and
it was the satisfaction in these states
that prompted the last legislature to
submit the constitutional amendment
to the electors. Attorneys argue that
the grand jury has outlived the pur-
pose for which 1t was created In
England and should never have been
adopted in this country. The grand
jury, 1t was held, hears but one side
of case-the prosecution and fre.
quently brings in an Indictment on lit
tie evidence. The frequent "quash
ings" by the court and acquittals by
trial iuries led the legislature to take
the action.
No Change in Trial Procedure.
There will be no change in the trial
procedure except that the grand jury
will be eliminated. The committing
magistrate holds the preliminary ex
animation If the evidence warrants
it the prisoner Is bound over to the
circuit court. The county attorney
then files an information with the
court and the case is placed on the
calendar for trial. These details II
the procedure will have to be provided
by an act of the legislature.
