To â€" His Honor J. S. < Campbell GRAND JURY PRESENTMENT He regretted to inform the Grand Jury that eight indictments would be laid~ before â€"themâ€"a formidable array of crime for this ennntrv In his address to the Grand Jury at County Court last week Judge Campbell spoke of many things, that it would pay our citizens to take inâ€" to consideration and do some ° deep thinking over. His address was as follows: & "some weeks ago when a Governâ€" ment Commigsion held its sessions here, he had given an opinion that the Grand Jury had outlived its ussâ€" fulness to some extent ; at any rate, that it need not be called together so often as at present. But he was free to confess after thinking the matâ€" ter over carefully since, that he was in giving that opinion. It would be a grave mistake to abolish the Grand Jury or even to have it less ~frequeni:ly called. The Grand Jury is a real part of the administration of justice. It was as much a part of the court as any official. The duties are important, and the carry-‘ ing out of those duties gave comfort to the people in knowing that public institutions were inspected by a com petent body selected from . themâ€" selves. f : JUDGE CAMPBELL O OPEAKG FREFLY Tells Grand Jury of Laxity of Parents Who Allow Girls to Roam at Will and at All Hours â€"Jars Fool Jail Order Anent _ Reading. 3 oncurs with Judge Campbell in Criticism of Careless Parentsâ€" Views With Alarm Large Docket Before His Honor at This Session.
