Judges Instructions.

Before the grand jury BODY retired
for its work instructions were given
by Judge Smith Mcpherson. Court
said the work of the grand jurors is
the most important that any citizen
of the United States can engage in.
The law provides that no man can be
placed on trial before the charge
against him is made in open court by
a grand Jury of at least twelve men,
The merits of this law have been dis.
cussed often of late. but it Is still a
fundamental law Going to court as
a grand juror is not a hilarity Jur-
ors have been selected as officers to
perform solemn duties. 1t is not for
the judges to try men until the grand
Jurors have first acted and court inn
pressed it upon the body that every
person accused must not be indicted.
The greatest wrong. he pointed out.
except to wrongfully convict. is to
wrongfully indict Such an indict
ment puts cloud upon the defend
ants name.
No Small Fines Should Follow.
Judge Mcpherson does not favor
the Indictment of persons in instances
where the fine imposed by court would
only be 81 or some nominal sum. He
said that no indictment should be re-
turned unless some substantial pun,
ishment shall follow. Twelve votes
are needed from members of the
grand jury to turn an indictment,
and If this number is cast it is the
duty of the foreman to indorse; if
less than twelve for indictment the
case must be ignored.
Court then took up the offenses
which the grand jurors must deal
with They are offenses against the
United States government, which in
clude violations of the acts of con
gress from the earliest days. The
grand Jury is not confined in its work
to cases brought before it by officers
/ of the government.
Scope Of Investigation.
The cases included in the grand
iiury's investigation are such as boot.
lesEag, counterfeiting, false entries
i by bank officers, false reports and
misconduct of men in public office
4 Under the last head Judge Mcpherson
especially included the postal depart
ment, saying that this was one de
partment of the government near tc
the people and in which they have
much interest. In the post office, he
said, the money must be kept in such
receptacles where it may be obtained
in a moments notice. The moneys
are a sacred trust fund and employees
must not triie with them. 1t IS re
markable. he continued, to learn now
often these funds are misapproprlat
ed. There are also other violations
of the postal regulations, such as
sending obscene and profane matter
through the mail, letters and circu
lars to promote get.rlch-qulct
schemes, etc.
