Employers were dubious and LABOR

States Circuit Court Of Appeals hold

Joined the Tri-City Trade Council

what 1 deem to be a serious interfer- ence with the enforcement of the cri- minal laws of the land.
 "The charge of the Court to the Grand Jury upon the criminal laws, is intended. as I believe, not only for the information, help and assistance of the Grand Jury in it's deliberations, but also for the information of the public, and for the good it may do in building up a sentiment among the people, for peace and order and law enforcement.
 'In delivering the charge to the Grand Jury over my district, l may go more into details and consume more time than some of my predeces- sors, but if good can be accomplish ed along the line to which 1 have just referred, 1 feel that it is time well spent. Therefore in delivering this charge, I am not only calling upon the Grand Jurors but upon every good citizen who loves his home and his country and who believes in the estab- lishment and maintenance of peace, order and happiness, to join hands and do what he can to see that the people who violate the law, are not only prosecuted and convicted but that the sentences pronounced against them by the courts, shall not be converted into a mockery by another department"

January Term Circuit Court Opens this MOrning-Atten- dance Better than ever Before Due to Excellent Weather.

The January 1916 term of Nevada Circuit court convened here this morn- ing at 9:30, Judge George R. Haynie presiding and Prosecuting Attorney Tillman B. Parks present for the state
 The attendance this morning is said to be larger than at any term of court yet held here. This is due probably to the excellent weather and the con- dition of the farm land. There are quite number of visiting attorneys.
 The entire morning was consumed in selecting and instructing the Grand Jury.
 One of the features of the opening of court was the presence of the teach CTS and pupils of the High School. They spent the entire morning there and no doubt received a great deal of benefit from the charge delivered by Mir. Haynie to the Grand Jury.
 Judge Haynie's charge to the Grand Jury was very complete and exhaus- tive. The first part of his charge was devoted to the duty of the Grand Jurors as laid down by the law In this part of his instructions, he made 1t clear that no person should be fa- vored because of any social standing, and no person discriminated against on nf dition. but that a thorough investi- gation should be made of every viola tio1 of the law, reported to the Grand Jury, regardless of who the parties were. He said the only way to make people have the proper respect for the law and for the courts is, to treat every body alike in the administration of the law. And that while they should investigate all violations of the law and indict all guilty parties, yet the Grand Jury was not a trial jury, but only an Investigating body, and that if the evidence before them would warrant petit jury in convict ing the party, an indictment should be returned. He said the question was not whether the petit jury would con vict the party, but the question was, whether the party should be convict ed under the evidence produced before the Grand Jury and in this connection he said that there was more power and discretion lodged with the petit jury than with any other branch of the court or branch of the government That although man might be prov

Judge Haynie Scores
 Use of Pardoning Power

eH oeyonu all uouDt, to De guilty of
 the most atrocious crime, and the
 Court and all the other officers might fully discharge their duties, and yet the petit jury had the power to acquit the man, and under our law, he could never be tried again for that crime. The Grand Jury was told by the Judge that the time had passed when witnesses could evade the Grand Jury
 by failing to remember things with which they were doubtless familiar. He said, eff their memory gets bad bring them in here and I'll see if can be of some help to them; We have a kind of Hospital out here to carry them to, where they can get not only temporary, but permanent relief" In charging the Jury upon the crim- inal laws, he laid special emphasis upon the law against the carrying of weapons; the law against the sale of liquor, the gambling statute and the law against murder. He said if the whiskey peddlers, the pistol "toters" and the gamblers could be put out of
 business the criminal courts would have but little to do. He explained that the use of liquor was directly responsible for great per cent of all crimes committed, and that one of the best things the Legislature could do, would be to make it a penitentiary offence to carry pistol as a weapon ; he said they were manufactured for no other purpose except to kill people with-that it was strange that any civilized government would tolerate the manufacture of an implement like that, which is to be used solely for the destruction of human life, and es- pecially in time of peace.
 He told the jury that the gamblers table and the crap yard, were the in- struments by which thousands of young boys were lured away from the teachings of a christian mother and father. resulting in wrecked and ruined life.
 The Judge was very earnest in his appeal to the jury and to the people generally for a strict enforcement of the law against homicide; he said a deplorable state of affairs was grow ing up in our country--that people all over the country, were being killed and murdered, and many of them on the slightest provocation. and that in his experience he had found that it was more difficult to convict a man for murder than for most any other crime. He said there wasn't very much trou- ble in securing a conviction of man charged with stealing hog, while in
