Judge Cornish read his charge to the grand
jury from manuscript and it was very much
to the point. He gave them explicit instruc-
tions as to their duties and even as to their
conduct in the jury room and cautioned them
against permitting any of their proceedings to
reach the public ear before the indictments
are entered.
