which has marked the Maryland
people throughout their history.
The question arose when John
Morris, a member of the staff of
the Baltimore Sun, obtained some
information which had to do with
the proceedings Of the grand jury
Of Baltimore city.
It was considered vital informa-
ton and the grand jury sum-
moned him to appear before it
and asked that he tell them
where he got the information he
printed. This was in the late
eighties.
He refused to divulge the source
and was held In contempt. He
still continued to refuse to tell,
and the contempt proceedings
were finally dropped.
Regarded as a reputable news
paper man, Morris action In re-
fuSing to make public the names
of the informants who had given
him the information with the
understandings that their names
would not be disclosed excited ad'
miration and sympathy. The
newspapers Of Baltimore took the
matter up.
Some years later, a similar In

man ON another paper.
