Woolf had car chased his railroad ticket and made other preparations with the intention of leaving the city He would return in about a month but on Mr Dickson intimating that the jury would probably prob-ably not be needed for a month or more Mr Woolfs name was allowed to remain The last baton of names was then rattled through with in the following follow-ing order Joseph Simon did not believe in plural marriage and as he was not a Mormon he was accepted A J Gunnell fared similarly Stephen Hayes was not a citizen of the Territoryhis home was in Idaho A R Carter was not a taxpayer he had some personal property however on which taxes might be collected was not a believer in the doctrine of plural marriage The last qualification was too strong toadmit of doubt and he wJs gathered in W R Jones Jr belief in plural marriage mar-riage was the stumbling block in his way to the office of grand juror and he was excused on that account Geo H Pope held similar views as the abovehence he was similarly treated L Simon Woolf I M Barratt and William Wil-liam Terhune answered all questions to the satisfaction of Mr Dickson and were gratefully accepted Robert Harmon had the audacity to believe in the doctrines of the Mormon Church and this was sufficient to disbar dis-bar him from the privileges and duties accorded every Americancitizen John Wardrobe Jr was in a little doubcas to whether he believed inpo Ivpnmv or noh He was allowed to re tire I > John S Barnes did not believe a man had a riht to more than one wife at a j time He would prosecute for unlawful I 1 unlaw-ful cohabitation or

Iniaslfore 0 man and the Judge delivered his charge There was but slighvitpnT variations 0 from the instruction given previous 35q juries He reminded them that they were to investigate all charges against individuals violation of the statutes of the Territory or the United States It was not necessary that they should confine themselves to such cases as were brought before them If a y of the jurors had personal knowledge of any violationsof law it was theirduty to impart such information to their fellow members An indictment however could only be found on legal testimony and they should not be misled by witnesses wit-nesses who night be influenced by improper im-proper motives as fear favor or hope of reward It was a serious injury to indict an innocent man for which there was no adequate remedy It was important im-portant that no mistakes be made that could be avoided It was a wrong to the public to fail to indict a man who should be convicted this would detract from the safety of the people if it involved life or property or injury to society There were some crimes which special attention should be called to as polygamy and unlawful cohabitation cohabita-tion Many of the people claimed to believe this right and a part df their religion a man had a right practice I his religion but if he assumed a form of worship contrary to law or injurious to society it made no difference the government gov-ernment had a right to prohibit and punish such conduct These were also other crimes among them verjurywit neses 0 sometimes tested falsely or said they did not know when they did false affidavits were also made inland in-land entries and jn various ways this offense commuted all these chargea should be investigated I was the love of truth which held the moral elements together and when this love was broken down justieewas defeated and a great wrong committed There might be attempts at-tempts made by bribery or other means to influence public officers this defeated de-feated the administration justice and should be dealt with i was the onlv way in which society could be promoted The jury should act honestly and truthfully and not be I influenced by prejudice i jnrorcould not deal fairly with a man he should retire I in any case there was a fear of any consequences to the juror he should come into court and be excused They could not be thus influenced and if any man or woman attempted to do so they should bring the matter before 0 the jury They should also keep all I their deliberations secret as a divulgence I divul-gence thereof was itself a crime I |
