REV. w. ID. FORBUSH.

The one thing that struck me most
in sitting on the grand jury was the
ingenuity displayed in trying 70 make
money dishonesty" says the Rev.
William Byron Forbush, who has
been two weeks on the federal grand
jury. There was such great var.
iety of cases before us-cDuhterfeit-
ing, Illegal use ot the mails. bringing
in aliens, many other things--and al
most all for the one purpose OF gain.
Most OF the grand jurors were
men from the interior of the state,
men OF better type than generally
are seen on jury, and the hearing
of these stories OF crime was a novel
thing to them. They were interested
and surprised. II was like vivifying
of the daily press. One reads Of such
things, but rarely comes In contact
with them.
They come In contact with what
otherwise they would only read OF
casually. II was all new to them.
Personally, | enjoyed-the experience,
for II brought more vivid realiza-
ton OF many things. The men / was

ruptible. They listened earnestly.
asked questions to get at the real
facts and took every case seriously.
still, IL seems to me that the
grand jury Is somewhat In the nature
of fifth wheel. The cases brought
in were pretty clear. We heard only
In general way, of course. and not
in the detail that would come In a
trial. Some of the ways Of making
money were SO easy that they were
almost tempting, but. as one saw the
consequences, he could not but con-
gratulate himself that he had not fall
en- upon such ways. One case had
only to do with the remailing OF a
