JUDGE SILAS H. REID ARGUES FCR GRAND JURY SYSTEM
>—
Following is Judge Hold's address
to the grand jury of the present term
of the district court, on discharging
that body, except portions of it re
ferring to administrative details:
"It has been often urged, in Borne
of the states, that the grand jury
system was a farce: Tho longor wo
study the system the more convinced
we are that it is these mfen, brought
together from different portions of
their district, who know the condi
tions therein perhaps better than any
other class of people. We have an
the grand jury that lays out the plan
of work for tho courts of justice, par
ticularly in tho criminal lino. I know
it has been said that boforc tho grand
jury, only 0110 Hido of tho caso is pre
sented, and that ia an injustice to the
man who is being investigated, that
he cannot submit his evidenco; but
that it is not with its exceptions.
Truo, in a certain souse, it looks harsh
that tho person should bo investi
gated and not given tho opportunity i
to defend himaoif; but, on the other
hand, if this body of grand jurors j
by a trial jury and the court. If, in
your wisdom, you thluk the evidence
is not sufficient, then that man's char*
actor has beeu exonerated, and he
himself has been put in a better light.
"But, uslde from the criminal con
sideration of your Investigation*,
you proBcnt to the court, and to the
public in general, what you deem to
bo for the best interests of this di
vision, particularly in certain places,
as to what you think should bo done for
tlio prosperity and betterment ofjthe
people in those particular places.
example of thin great judicial division,
the Paoiflc coast end of it, in you
gentlemen coming from the various
precincts of your own particular dis
trict.
"In your report, you have dealt
with all the mattors which properly
come before the court and tho grand
Jury of this Judicial division. Your
recommendations are wholcaomo, and
no other people, perhaps, could get
the same idea aud bring it before the
publio so well aud so thoroughly as
the grand Jury. Each mombor, being
from a seperato portion of tho divis
ion, can give us his idea, and in sum
ming the whole matter up, you have
a logical and well arranged plan in
your mind as to what should bo dono
for tho betterment, not only of tho
administration of tho law in your par
ticular division, but also to the bot
terment to the morals and condition
of the people generally.
"The grand Jury system is a wlso
one. It is a wlso ono because it is
! should eay that the evidence submit-:
j ted by the United Staler, or the pros-J
eeution, is, in the judgment of the |
; grand jurors, insufficient to warrant a |
i trial Jury to investigate further, that j
'man has beeu exonerated; and has
been remarked to you by tho court I
when you were impaneled, a wholo
community will learn of a man's in-1
dictment, charged with an offense;
while very few will learn, except Ida !
immediate associates and those at- j
tending open court, that ho has been I
| tried by a trial jury and found not
1 guilty.
I "The .wisdom of tho grand jury
! system, in this rogard, seems to 1110
' to be paramount, when you take into
consideration tho fact that you men,
unbiased, unprejudiced, having no
othor view boforo you than to impar
tially prosont tho case as it is pre
sented to you, do declare upon your
calhs, that there is sufficient ovidonco
to warrant a further investigation of
the whole affair, both pro and con,
•'You liavo, iu tills report, tho oom
nion opinion of twenty-five men ap
proximately, and who aro from the
different portions of the division.
You have here the consensus opinion
of men who have exchanged ideas.
You and I may sit down as Jurors
and discuss those propositions, but
what do we know about Nushagak
unless we arc tliero, or get men from
there and learn what they have to
say about It; What do wo know
about the dilferent place* unless we
got on tho ground floor, or have some
men who are from tho different places
who know the oxlstlng conditions?
Tho grand jury, hearing all these
complaints and different sugges
tions about the haphazard dispen
sing of justice in this judicial
division, and desiring to alleviate
this condition, I say that the consen
sus opinion of these twenty-three
men shows tho advantage of the
modium and system of the grand
jury."
