Equal Justice to All.
"I need not, am sure, remind
you that you will discharge your
duty as grand jurors upon your
conscience, and without fear or
favor, doing equal justice alike to
the rich and the poor. You must
not permit yourself to be swayed
by public clamor, nor will you be-
governed by any save legal evil
dence.
"Hearsay-you doubtless know
what that term means-it explains
itself, rumor. insinuation, gossip
none of these constitutes legal evil
dence. Your indictments must be
based on evidence that would be re-
ceived in a court of justice. Do not
permit personal interest, malice,
spite, or revenge to support a
criminal charge. Not only must
you see to it that your indictments
are based solely on legal evidence,
but you should stand impartial be-
tween the accuser and the accused.
The, accuser will be before you, but
the accused will not. You will rep
resent neither the accuser nor the
accused-you represent the high
cause of justice, and upon you will
rest the sacred responsibility of de-
termining whether a charge made is
well founded both in law and fact.
Should you vote to return an in
dictment, the District Attorney will
prepare the formal document FIR
you. The law requires that the
grand jury be composed of twenty
three persons, sixteen of whom con-
stitute quorum for the TRANSACTION
of business and twelve of whom
must concur in the action taken.
Deliberations Sacred.
your deliberations, as well as the
business before you will treat as
absolutely sacred and secret. Con-.
vers with no one outside of the
grand jury room touching the mat.
ters pending before you, and per-
NIT no one on the outside to talk
to you about any such matters.
Should any one attempt to do so,
you should report the matter prompt.
~ to the court for its action.
THE District Attorney, either in
person, or by his assistants, will
be available to guide and advise you
and, Of course, you are at liberty to
apply' to the court for any needed
further instructions and advice.
Your foreman has ben selected
by the court and when you retire
you may organize, selecting a DEPUTY
foreman, secretary and clerk.
I'm conclusion, permit me to add
that you should regard your service
as grand jurors quite aside from
question of personal Inconvenience
and sacrifice, as a real privilege as
we'll opportunity conferred upon you
to serve the public interests and the
great cause of justice"

After all is said and done-the finest
equipped taxicab in the world would go for
naught if it had a careless, shiftless, reck-

We take great pride in our Black & White
chauffeurs because, they, as our representa-

our service standards and entrenching it in
the minds of the public as the most reliable

So efficient have they been in the han

recently granted them an increase in pay.
Satisfied employees means satisfied public.
