Show I REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY. Charging that the Standard kept the public correctly informed on grand jury proceedings and finally was first to publish the sensational indictmenis. the morning paper complain?: We plead guilty to the indictment. The Standard IS a newspaper. That is the mission of a wideawake paper. Of course, no one of common sense believes the Standard was the grand jury, or the district attorney, or the court. The gathering of the information, informa-tion, the hearing of the evidence, the I final work of indicting came within the activities of the law. The morninp; paper says the whole 1 1 thing smacks too much of cheap poli-I poli-I tics. The Standard has a higher v opinion of the members of the grand jury and those who directed Its proceedings. pro-ceedings. Their judgment may be Faulty, but we venture to say not one man of the court and jury had politics poli-tics in mind. It is a serious charge to make and perhaps, if more specifically spe-cifically given, will bring about another an-other sensation In the makinp of which the morning paper will have real cause for a grievance. The Standard is not going out of its province of reporting to interfere with the orderly work of our courts, and will leave the questionable task to its contemporary. |
