j. Bell charged with criminal libel. and
the indictment was Quashcd Andrew q.
Gray and l.. Irving Handy represented
Mr.. Bell. Attoney-Genoml Richards and
Deputy Attomey-Oeneml Hastings app
penrod for the State. Ia his opening Mr.
Gray read that portion of the motion 60
Quash the indictment In which he quotes
She language of Acknowledgement Rich
ards IN telling the grand jury that il was
not for IL nor the petit jury, but was for
the court 20 say whether tho publication
was libel. The brief presented by Mr..
Gray consisted OF typewritlon sheets, the
bulk being about half an inch thick He
apologized for 90 additional pages which
had been destroyed by him when he found
a supreme Court case that he said dealt
entirely with the elements contained in
the present case. Mr., Gray said the grand
jury should have been permitted TO shy
whether the article was libclous or not;
whether the innuondos weU true; whether
the whole article was true OF false: whether
the intent of the article was malicious.

the authority TO pass upon the malicious
intent or ialsiiy of the charge. Mr. Rich
ards had no doubt and no admitted that
he though the grand jury had good cause
TO so understand it. The court was of the
opinion that the grand Jury naturally
would get that impression that it had no
right 20 consider the two clements referred
TO.
Mr.. Richards, being convinced. said that
II there was any possibility of the grand
jury getting this impression, and he
thought there was, the Indictment should
be quashed upon this eround.
Mr.. Gray commended that the grand
jury, before they can return a true bill
must pass on four different points, each
and al of which are essential. They are.

ton. and said il was he duty OF the iurv
