OTHER POINTS OF THE
CHARGE.
In my duty as Judge, | have
never sought popularity and / never
will and will at all times do my
whole duty as see it," said Judge
Miller.
The point was also we'll made
that any officer who accepts favorl
from man, knowing his character
and habits, will be called on to re-
pay 1t and could not well refuse
which is serious handicap to JUS
tice in many instances.
The expense to the county Of
holding courts was illustrated anC
an appeal made for the officers anC
jurymen to do their best-honestly
and without delay. The grand jury
was asked to meet at s O'Clock each
morning. the same time as court
work a full day and adjourn just al
soon as full investigation into tht
matters for which they are assem-.
bled has been completed.
Murders. concealed weapons,
gambling, whisky. vagrancy. anc
general immortality came in fol
their full share of criticism. Saic
the Judge: Whisky is at the
bottom of every killing almost in
the land, and the gambler and car,
rier of concealed weapons go hand
in hand. An honest man has nc
use for a protector in his hiL
pocket-he has nothing to fear, and
he doesn't go where he is liable tC
get into trouble"
The attention of the jury was
called to the vandalism of some
party or parties on the newly
made fences Of honest North.
fern settlers east Of the cry wht
have only recently moved here,
Their fence has been cut in IS
places by actual count. I'VE don'l
need these kind of violators in Lin.
coln-you go after 'em and get 'em
the sooner we're rid of this clas:
the better" stated the man on the
bench, in closing on this subject.
The jury was charged to ask for
an auditor if they could not fully
go over or understand any of the
county's books and told to do their
duty with reference to the county s
well-known derelict official. IAN
honest official courts investigation,
Why should he get excited if every.
thing is all rightY' remarked the
Judge.
The charge was made that "you
jurymen must not weigh dollars
and cents against the happiness of
those unfortunates who are on the
county farm. when investigating it
to see that they are properly hous-
ed. fed, clothed and humaneIy
treated.
An admonition was given to have
no leaks" from the grand jury
room and if witnesses would not
appear to let the Judge know and
attachments would be issued at
once
