The in-| dictment and the accusation forghis im- | peachment eclipsed everytbing® cise in | point of interest in the county, and con- | versation to-day has been only upon the | action of the Grand Jury and its effect. The actual report of the Grand Jury was soon lost signt of behind the possible political effect of the indictment and pros- pective impeachment. Mr. Dalton openly harged that it was a political move, and specific charges of the two documents | | returned by the Grand Jury were com- | pletely overshadowed by the political | phase of the matter. The of the has already begun | in th local which always take sides upon all political matters. The En- | sirer, which is the political organ of Mr. | »d with charges of all kinds, | nd locally.

Greene and the mem- | bers of the Grand Jury as political tools as forced the accused to make state- ments in their defense, and so to-day be- came a day statements. The grand jurors were telling why they brought the indictment and the impeachment proceed- in, and Mr. Dalton and his friends were tng what they thought about those who brought the actions. Verbal broadsides were being dlscharged by the opposing batteries all day. But the battle has only just begun to rage, and when it concludes the battlefleld will be strewn with the political dead and wounded, It is too early in the battle to | predict the advantage that will result to | either side or who will be carried to some political St. Helena { Ground for the Indictment. The idea has gone abroad that the in- | dictment against Mr. Dalton was brought for the destruction of the field memo- randa used in making up the assessment rofls. Though this was discussed by the Grand Jury, the charge does not rest upon this. Several members of the Grand Jury have said to-day that in justice to them- | selves they must explain that the indict- ment was based upon the destruction of a book in the A essor’'s office that is made up from these field memorandumbooks and not for the destruction of the smaller books themselves. The accusation for re- moval from office was for failing to enter upon the assessment roll, which is turned osver to the Board of Supervisors, the mes of the owners of personal property who had not pald taxes. | GRAND JURORS TALK. Many Inquisitors Were Friends of | Dalton but Followed the Law. Members of the Grand Jury that re- turned an indictment against Assessor Dalton, together with an accusation de- | manding his removal from office, are fidemt that when all the facts are con- sidered they will be promptly absolved by the public of having been animated by |any personal or politieal animosity toward Mr. Dalton. In fact, those who | consent to talk of the matter are men who have been long warm personal and | political friends of the accused official. | discuss the wild accusations made | inst them dispassionately, but with | snse of conviction that they acted only | Following | a as honorable men would act. are the T expressions of a few L. BARKER, foreman—The indict- of Mr. Dalton was based upon the truction of a bound book and not upon the destruction of any memoranda or notes that may have been used in the | Assessor's office. The testimony was such that not a man on the Grand Jury could | | bave done other than return an indict- | ment or be gullty of violating his oath. 8o fay as any politics is concerned I can | | only =ay that I can point to the names | of the grand jurors and leave with the | people of Alameda County the dectsion | Whether these men, many of them per- | sonal and political friends of Mr. Dalton, | would allow politics to influence them on such a matter as this. Is it possible any | man would think I would do politics by having Mr. Dalton indicted when, if trom | that motive, an indictment were present- | ed it would tend to give him a nomina- | tion if nn_\-th!ni could do it? It is not within reason that I should take such a Slep. The statement that I had personal | | motives, because of my defeat for Mayor and Dr. Pardee’s opposition to me then, is fonsense. That deserves absolutely 'no consideration at my hands. It is not sup- posable that I could have influenced these bers of the Grand Jury to act as ti 3 he: e b man was moved by the evi. Qence and his own conscience.” A L. FISH-Mr. T. L. Barker, the foreman of our body, said last night that 2 gentleman on the Grand Jury had told him that he regretted and would regret all his life that he had served on this Grand Jury and that, though a friend of | Mr. Daiton, he was compelled to take the | action he did. I am free to say that I am the man to whom he referred. I shall always regret that I served on that Grand Jury, yet I could not have done my duty as a grand juror and a citizen and have done otherwise than I did. I have al- Waye voted and worked for Mr. Dalton and for Mr, Hilborn, so that disposes of the political :l?le of it. T did my duty against my wishes. gu is now only fair that the real cause of this indictment should be told. Mr. Dal- ton was not indicted for the destruction of the field memorandum books. He was indicted for the destruction of a book known as the “office book.” This hook is made up from the field books and con- tains the names of all personal prop:i;-gp owners. When Mr. Dalton was c: upon to produce that book he could not do so and admitted that it was destroved. Tt then became our duty to see whether{ that was a record of the county and we decided that it was. Mr. Dalton has not Oy B MAPOTLI o or ere is one other thing t just to say.

There was nothing personal in our sction and we acted as the law directed. | These attacks upon Judge Greene are wa. warranted. He was consulted just as every Grand Jury has consulted other Judges. and he gave us the law and that was all. These attacks upon the Grand Jury and Judge Greene are unwarranted. C. P. HOAG—It is not a question of politics, but one of law. Go and read the law and see {f Mr. Dalton did not violate . The charges of personal and political feeling are only made at this time in or- der to create excitement and a sensation GEORGE B. M. GRAY—I will refer vou and all those who criticize the action of the Grand Jury to the law. The law is very plain and speaks for itself. T am not a politician and have heen a friend of Mr. Dalton and so_cannot be charged with political bias. I have done my duty and my honor will not suffer thereby. SPEAKS FORVICTOR H. METCALF George W. Reed Declares Dalton’s | Charge of Political Job Unwarranted. County Assessor Henry P. Dalton has charged that Victor H. Metcalf, his op- ponent for Congressional nomination, was one of those who instigated the indict- ment and Impeachment proceedings. Mr. Metcalf is now in Washington and could not be seen to secure a reply, but George W. Reed, one of his campaign managers, made the following statement: : “It is unfair to Congressman Metcalf | to charge him with any interest in th indictment. Mr. Metcalf has been in Washington attending to his duties as a Congressman, even though he has but recently suffered a great personal loss in his famil It is untrue that Mr. Met- calf had anything to do with this indict- ment, or that he knew of it, or that he had any interest in it. I can also say for Mr. Metcalf's managers and friends out here that they had nothing to do with it. Neither Mr. Metcalf nor his campaign committee nor his friends are making this kind of a campaign. Such a move for political purposes would not be counte- naneed for a moment, and the charge that we had anything to do with it {s unjust, “T know that if 1t had heen in the power of Mr. Metcalf to have prevented the in- dictment of Mr. Daliton he would have done so. This cry of politics is only made to offset any effect that the indfct- ment might have. It is also a very se- rious charge against the members of the Grand Jury. It is unfair to impugn. off- hand. the action of such a body of men as one purely of politics. That Grand Jury was drawn by our four Superior Judges, and 1t is a representative body of men, and it Is a very serious state- ment to make that four Superior Judges and nineteen men of good reputation were in a political scheme. To make such a charge would involve not only the jury but the Judges. had many friends on that jury. Mr. Met- calf would rather be defeated for Con- gress than to lose the esteem of the voters of this county, and he certainly wou'd not stoop to any such move as has been charged. Neither Mr. Metcalf nor his friends did anything to bring. about the indictment or the Investigation. If these charges continue to be made it can only be with the intention of injuring Mr. Me calf without cause and with falsehood.” MORE CHARGES OF POLITICS. Grand Jury Was “Bamboozled.” The Enquirer, which is Mr. Dalton’s or- gan, prints the following editorial, which can be taken as an official utterance for | Mr. Dalton: Members of the late Grand Jury have pro- tested that they were not doing politics, and it is entirely probable that a majority of the members were innocent of political intentions, Lut the trouble With such members is that they were quite too innocent altogether, They were so innocent that they did not know when they were being bamboozled and used by de- signing politicians. Here is the state of the case: Assessor Dalton did last year only what his predecessors did and what he did during the four previous years. No one proposed the indictment of his predecessors: no one proposed to indiet Mr. Dalton till he became a candidate for Congress. When he did that his enemies vowed to destroy him. They cast about for means to accomplish thelr ends and discovered a legal technicality—a technicality to which no attention had been paid before because no one had had a scheme of political revenge to carry out. But for political conspirators a straw Wil sutfice, and in lack of any meritorious charge against Dalton it was determined to \ise this foollsh accusation. A mafority of the jurors were deceived by being made to believe it was im) nt and were led into a pitfall from which, doubtless. they do now, or soon will, wish they had kept clear. Tt was not the ‘desire of a majority of the furors to be used to pull politicians’ chestnuts from the fire. but that does not alter the fact that they were 80 used. PARDEE ON DALTON. The ex-Mayor Stands by His Friend and Charges Politics. Dr. George C. Pardee. the personal friend of Mr. Dalton, to-day made a state- ment upon the indictment. This state- ment 1s so direct that it sets at rest the silly story that he and Mr. Dalton had quarreled over politics. It reads: The Indictment of Henry Dalton by the Grang Jury should and ‘will meet with the disa oE i honest and independent men.

GEORGE C. PARDEE. ‘ DEPUTIES ARE DISMISSED. | County Clerk Frank C. Jordan to-day | revoked the appointments of all of the | deputy county clerks appointed for regis- | tration purposes and announced that no special deputies would be allowed In the future. Mr. Jordan says this action was taken in order that his office may be relieved from any possible charge that it Is being used for political purposes. The regular force of office deputies will do the work hereafter and will visit the various sec- tions of the city and the county and take registrations. ‘A number of appointments had been made for the purposc of registration at the request of candidates. These were all revoked. The Metcalf men are not pleased | at this and say that Mr. Jordan is making Mr. Daiton's fight for Congress. “Mr. Jordan has revoked the appoint- ments of all of the deputies requested by our side,” sald Paul Schaffer, one of Mr. Metcalf's organizers. ‘It Mr. Jordan has done this in order to clear himself from a charge of favoring one side more than the other he has made a mistake. Mr. Jordan is a noted partisan of Mr. Dalton, and to refuse to appoint a few deputies at our request will merely create the charge that he has thrown his office into olitios, We are not going to do anything, because we can’t.” i The Members of the Grand Jury.
