serve. The services Of a grand
jury are very essential in the de-
lection of this class of criminals
but the average citizen, who IS
unfamiliar with the schemes of
criminals and their attorneys, Is
at a disadvantage in dealing with
these individuals who are educat-
ed in covering up crime, and in 9
cases out Of ten is helpless. with
ont the assistance of the county
or commonwealth attorney. The
docket of the criminal cases and
tho session of the grand jury at
each term of court should be so
arranged as TO enable either the
county attorney or the common
wealth 5 attorney to always he
present with the grand jury 10
assist them in the investigation OF
crime. In the trial of all civil
cases the law settles many cOntro-
versies. and much valuable time
and expense can be saved by SCI
ting aside a certain day, or days,
before commencing the trial of
these eases, in which motions and
demurrers can be tried and set

argued and settled, it would not
be necessary to have the petit
Jury present at a useless expense
to the taxpayers of $500 per
day.
In the transaction of the busl-
ness of our courts we should have
the same law for the poor that is
applied TO the rich. When man
is charged by indictment with a
crime. he should be tried upon
the charge set forth in the In
dictment, unless some reason
could be publicly spread upon the
records of the court showing why
this defendant should be tried for
a different crime of offense than
that mentioned in the Indictment,

Influence over the powers that
be. 1t is not right TO permit a
prominent citizen to 90 out and
procure a witness TO swear lie
in civil or criminal cases, and,
when that prominent citizen is
caught and indicted for said
crime, to cause the charge in said
indictment to be reduced TO a
miSdemeanor and then allow INN
to fail TO plead and pay a fine.
The prominent citizen who taints
the fountain of justice should be
forced to wear the stripes Of a
felon in the same way as the
poor man who swears the lie for
his benefit. Your court should
never allow an Indictment that
charges felony to be dismissed
or filed away without the com
monwealth IS attorneys filing his
reasons in open court in writing
for doing so, as the law directs
in section l23 of the Kentucky
statutes, and then those reasons
should be spread upon the records
of the court, to the end that all
citizens might understand what
reasons and influences operated
toward its dismissal.
All eases should be decided up
on the law and evidence, and 1t
should not be generally under
stood that when citizen has =

he is right or wrong, it is neces-
sary for lGm to employ certain
attorneys in the district in order
to win the case. Your circuit
Judge, directly or indirectly,
