Upon the selection Of the jury, Judge
Motter turned to the grand jurors and
stated their oath, describing their duties,
but said that there are certain things
which the statutes of Maryland demand
| that the court call to the attention OF the
grand Jury. He stated that one law
requires that the court call to the atten-
ton of the jury that the doors OF all
public buildings must open outward, and
another to investigate any cases OF de
falcation in public offices, and still an
other is the law pertaining to abortion.
The court stated that the States Attor-
nev was to be asked concerning any law,
| and when his advice was not satisfactory,
| the court could be asked for its CON
structon. The Jail must also be visited
but Judge Motter said that he knew O
no law providing for visit to Montevue
Hospital. and stated that if such WISH
interfered with the other duties of the
Jury, that it should not be taken. He
! cautioned the jurors to maintain the
most absolute secrecy concerning the
work in the grand jury room, saying thai
| heretofore there had been leaks" iron
this room, probably through the mad
vertence of some grand Juror. He asked
| all of the members to guard agans
dropping anything concerning the WORK

work, starting about II O'Clock.
