charges against individuals d bals for viola eions of the statutes of the territory or united states not only in such cases as were brought before them but those which were known to any of their number they could only indict on legal testimony and should not be misled by witnesses who might be influenced by improper motives as loar lear favor or hope of reward it t was important that no mistakes be made that could be avoided it was a serious injury to indict an innocent man for which there was no adequate remedy it was a wrong to the public to fail to indict a man who should be convicted this would detract efrom the safety of the people if it involved life or property or injury to soei society ety there were some crimes which special attention should be called to as polygamy poly gamy and unlawful cohabitation many of athe people claimed to believe this right and a part of their religion a man had a right to practice his religion but if he assumed a form ot of worship sont ont to law or injurious to society it made no difference the government nt had a right to prohibit and punish such conduct there were also other crimes among them perjury witnesses sometimes testified falsely or said they did not know when they did false affidavits were also made in land entries and in various ways this offense was committed all these charges should be investigated it was waa the love of truth which held the moral elements together and when this love was broken down justice was defeated and a great wrong committed there mi might ht be attempts made by bribery or other means to influence public officers this defeated the administration of justice and should be dealt with it was the only way in which society could be protected the jury should act honestly and truthfully and not be influenced by prejudice if a juror could not deal fairly with a man he should retire it in ia any case there was a fear of any consequence to the juror he should come into court and be excused they could bould not be thus thug influenced and it flay y manor man or woman attempted to do so they should bring the matter before the age jury they should also keep all their deliberations secret as a divulgence thereof was itself a crime the jury then retired in charge ot of deputy mix alix it is probable the in qui will meet tomorrow to morrow aud and ad jurn until toward the latter part of the month |
