with Chief Justice Gummere on the
bench were Criminal Judges Jay Ten
Eyck and Thomas A. Davis and Cir
cult Court Judges Wilbur A Heisley
and Frederick Adams. Dressed i'll their
flowing black robes. they added a
funeral aspect to the scene while the
charge was being delivered to the jury.
For an hour. and a half the grand
iury was kept waiting in their room
on the second tieor of the Court House
I while Chief Justice Gummere con-
ferred with his associates and First
Assistant Prosecutor Frederick r.
Lehlbach as to the scope Of the charge
to the jury. Prosecutor Wilbur A.
Mott, who Is conducting the coroner's
inquest in person, was unable to be
present, as he is confined to his home
with a severe cold.
Chief Justice Gummere's charge to
the Jury was practically all devoted to
outlining the law as it applied to pos
sible responsibility as to the fire and
the loss of life. He outlined the duty of
the owners of the building, of the
EMPLOYERS and OF the State department
Of labor.
AS soon as the grand jury answered
TO roll-call and received the oath Of
office Chief Justice Gummere started
his charge. 1t was delivered without
reference to notes, and was commented
on by the lawyer present when it was
finished for its absolute fairness. The
charge follows:

that you will have TO perform is the

IT can imagine few things more diff

sbocking a one. It is almost impossible
TO avoid some sympathy for those gone
and for those who mourn their lost.
Nevertheless, 1t is your duty not to
hermit yourselves to be swayed by
feeling of any kind, if anyone is to be
punished. Neither are 0 to seek any
one to be punished just to satisfy a
public opinion. Your duty is to see If

amenable to criminal law.
