THE LEGALITY OF THE GRAND JURY SUSTAINED, AND TH PLEAS IN THE CASES OF KELLOGG, PREN- Tiss, COOMES AND MILLER OVERRULED. Judge Wylie this morning announced his decis- fon in the case of the pleas filed and argued before him {nthe case of Ex-Senator Wm. Pitt Kellogg, Indicted for receiving money while a United States Senator for services fo relation toa contract with the Untted States and of C. E. Prentiss, late cash- lerof the German-American National Bank, in- dicted for embezziement. The pleas both involved the manner of filling vacanoles on the grand jury. Mr. Ker, of spectal counsel for the government; Mr. Nathaniel Wilson, counsel for ex-Senator Kel- logg; Gen. Mus-ey, counsel for Prentiss; Mr. Mer- rick and other counsel were present, The Decision. Judge Wile sald that in the ease of the United States against Wm. Pitt Kellogg, the defendant had fited eleven pleas in abatement. ‘These pleas had been met on the part of the government by a demurrer. As the facts set out in the plea are de- termtnable by the record Itself it was not neces- Sary that there should be any issue of tact: made up for the consideration of the jury. . Whether the pleas are sufilctent in law or sufficient in fact are questions, therefore, determinable by the court. was” practically of no — consequence whether the questions to be determined are ques- tions of law or of fact, or in what shane the ques- tions may be ralsed. "Before going more parttet larly into the consideration of ‘the questions ralsed, he referred to a comparison between the act of’ June 16, 1882, and the act as tt appears in the Revised Statutes of the District of Coumbia Telagjng to the manner of filling the grand jury “He commented on the languige of the law permit ting the clerk to throw out names of Jurors drawn who were “disabled” from serving, “THE WORD DISABLED” might comprehend disqualified, but the court would hardly accept such an assumption. It Would limit the meaning of th» word to physical disqualifications. When the act of 1862 was pass: there was @ Circuit Court and an Independent Criminal Court in the District. He commented on the method tien followed of filling the Jury Dox, the register of the city of Washington, and the clerk of the Lavy Court who selected the name being empowered very properly to throw out. the names of men dead, remove, or disabled. When the organization of the courts was changed, and the selection of the jurors was given to a board Appointed by the court, the clerk of the court was given the power to throw out the names. It was hot clear in the court’- mind that the legislature intended to transfer to the clerk of the court the power that had been invested in the board of Oflicials that formerly was @htrusted with the duty of selecting a jury. i THE KELLOGG PLEAS REVIRWED. Judge Wylle then took up the various pleas speedily disposing of the first (alleging that no Presentment was made to the court), which plea he did not consider well founded. In reply to the second (alleging that Mr. Ker, without proper authority, had been present in the grand jury Jusge Wylle sald the court hai given p21 n to Mr. Ker to go before the grand jury as ial attorney. Mr. Wilson having stated that the record showed nosuch authority, Juige Wyile said if that Was 89 the record should be corrected, and he would Assume that it was corrected. ‘The third plea_was substantlally the same as the second and was dented. The fourth plea aly Ivged that the grand jurors were not served with noUce of thetr selection five days before their term of service began. Julve Wylle said this was not correct, as the returns showed that they were served With notice; butif they had not been so served It would be immaterial ifthe jury was properly drawn and the right mon appeared In re- sponse to the notice. If there was any neglect tn serving the notice it did not affect tite qualifica- Uon Of the jury. ‘The next plea was that the mar- shal had notretrned to the court before the opening of the March term copies of the jurors dravwn, wi tement. when and where they ved, With copes Of the notices serve Ti was a fact’ that the marshal had not returned copies of each notice, but_had substantially co: Piled with the low ‘in retw ning a coipendious Statement, showing on one ptece of piper how and Where each juror Was served. The court said in this case Uhat an error on the part of the marshal in the manner of making hisreturn to courtcould not offset the qualifications of the jurors. As to the plea that after the completion of the grand jury panel aud the appointinentof the forenian, Herrson H. Dodge was excused from service on the ground that he was a government officer, Judge Wyle Said taat the fact that Mr. Doige Was a government officer was not a disqualic. ton; It simply entitled Lim to the privilege of ex- emption. Having been excused because he was exempl, the court thought there Was no error in that. THE GRAND JURY PROPERLY ORGANIZED. Judge Wylie then came to the plea attacking the organization of the grand jury, because the places of men excused were filled by drawing names from the box. The question was whether when men were excused from service by the court the court had autnority to provide for the vacane cles by drafts from the box. It was not to be dented that at times there had been different opinions on that subject, under the statutes. Ho read sectlon g82, RS. authorizing the court, when jarors drawn did not attend to order that others be summoned in their places. For every Practical purpose, the jurors ip question did not attend. ‘They were excused from attendance, ‘They were not, in a legal sense, in attendance upon the court, He thought thé vacancy thus created could be treated as a non-attend ince and filled asa non-attendance. The court, n this case, ordered the marshal to supply the vacancies by drawing from the box. Instead of going out upon the public thoroughfares the marshal went to tbe box which contained the names of men possessing | legal qualifications. The question was whether it Was fatal to tho panel that the names were drawa from the box. ‘The judge quoted a number of au- thorities, and sald that when erind jurors were exeu-ed the presumption was that there w:s rood ground for their being excused, and the vacancies Were to be filled as if they had not been in atten- dance. When the clerk was ordered to draw the names from the box he was directed only to use one of the methods provided by t) law, and there was no violation of the law. The next plea raised the question as to how a vacancy Was to be fil!d caused by the excusing of a juror after the jury was organized. ‘The facts alleged in the plea were that Juror Dodge was thus ex- cused, and the vacancy was filled by the mar- shal’s’ summont. court, after reading the section of the Revised Statutes relating to such cases, sald the law was exactly followed. As to the plea which alleged in the cases of certain jurors excused that the rea- sons for excusing them did not appear of record, Judge Wyile said the court had ju“lsdiction of this Whole patter, | being empowered to | excuse jurors, Wr certain reasons. He held that he fact that these reasons were not spread on the record was of nO consequence. Referring to the general act of June 90th, 1879, re- Iating to the selection of jurors by a commission on which both political parttes were represented, the court said that that law was clearly inappro- priate to the District. As to the number neces- sary to compose a grand jury, the court. sald that under the common law there was no settled num- ber, the sherif! being empowered to summon any nutber trom 13 to 23. In this District the law Provided that 23 persons were necossary to con- stitute a grand Jury. When the grand jury was obtained, however, there was another statute Which came into force making 16 a quorum to do business, and of the 16 12 were enough to find an indictment. It might be true that the indictment might be faulty under the Revised Statutes for the District of Columbia, and yet valld under the gen- eral statutes—und°r provisions broad enough to cover the whole United States, THE KELLOGG PLEAS OVERRULED. He overruled, therefore, the pleas in the Kellogg case, = THE PLEA IN THE OOOMES OASE OVERRULED, Judge Wylie referred to the case of ex-Detective John W. Coomes, saying thata plea in abatement Was made because, it was alleged, one of the grand Jurors was a constable. The on was whether Lhe office of constable was: as to disqualify ‘ts holder from service on the.grand jury. He quoted the section exem: executive officers und salaried employes of taln others from service on i a constable had nothing todo functions of the go .was neither dis- qualified nor ‘cxempi. He denies a0 plea. THE MILLER CARR Referring to the motion to quash in the case of ex-Detective Miller, based om ‘he same ‘the court sald It would overrale the motion, PLEAS If THE PRENTISS CASB-OVERRULED. ‘He referred then to the. eage-of Prentiss, and said he would overrule the pleasin that case also. Exceptions were noted Ox the <@iTerent counsel. whose pleas were overrul A question was raised as to. whether the pleas of ex-Senator Kell stricken ox-Senat logg had not been MOTIONS TO QUASH THR KELLOGG INDICTMENT. Mr. Wilson then offered two motions to quash— one alleging the presence of Mr. Ker before the grand jury as the ground for critinising the indict- «tes ze Saas ak bees ee @ talesman. In this case, the |* Mr. Ker went before the grand jury with the authority of the court. ‘Mr. Merrick sald that he had supposea the facts were upon the record. He sald he would have it Placed upon the record. ‘Mr. Wilson having filed bis other motion, allez- ing insufficiency and Imperfections in the indict- ment, Mr. Merrick observed that he was glad the counsel had at last. brought the case to an Issue. “I have positive instructions from the Attorucy General,” sald Mr. Merrick, “to push the case to issue, if the court will_permitit, before the ad- Journment for the summer.” “We are anxious to proceed without delay,” said Mr. Wilson. “Mr. Kellogg dias been here for six weeks, and Is very anxious to have these matters atsposed of.” After some discussion it was decided that tho counsel should proceed with the argument to- morrow on the motions to quash, if they were ready to proceed th ———__ ‘The Proposed New Naval Uniforms. THE ORDER AUTHORIZING THE CHANGR SUSPENDED BY SECRETARY CHANDLER. The suspension of the order changing the unt- forms of naval officers, which was ordered by Ad- miral Nichols, Acting Secretary of the Navy, few days ago, is not looked upon by officers of the Navy department as the result of a conflict of au- thority, as reported. Five thousand copies of the new regulations came to the department, having the signature of the Secretary of the Navy, and they were distributed by the chief clerk os any other general order. Acting Secretary Nichols, however, did not think that the Secretary in- tended the order to be promulgated until his return, and therefore issued a genvral order od eeatlie? the regulations. ‘Subse- juently ie sreceived a telegram from the Secretary directing the suspension. It 1s thouzht that the Secretary, ‘What a great hue and cry the changes have elafsed among’ the officers and newspapers, ts desirous of giving the Matter a thorough examination before ordering any change which may prove distasteful to a majority Of oMtcers in the service. It has been intimated that the new regulations originated with a few officers of influence In opposttion to the wishes of the majority. It ts learned at the Navy department that such fs not the case. It beezme apparent several years ago that the old reg! tions which had been in force for fifteen or st; teen years would have to be rearranged and Fevised in order that they shouid comply with the minor changes which had been made from tin #me in general orders. The work of revising and codttying the old regulations was in Secretary Hunt's adiinis- tration given In charge of Admiral Patterson, who was engaged upon It up to the time of his retir: ment. Jt was then referred to Admiral Wyman, and he Was subsequently assisted by Commodore Semmes, and after his death Commodore Semmes took entire charge of the work. It was not until last Winter that everything was completed and signed by the Secretary, but owing to the rush of Work at the Government Printing Office the copies were not ready until fast week. Notwithstanding the opposition with which the changes have been received in different quarters on account of the necessary expense incurred in making the changes, itis held by meny officers that there sin reality no increase of expense, but tn fact a reduction. ‘MR.
