a “MR. JEROME'S PECULIAR COURSE. Why has District-Attorney Je-| rome applied to a Magistrate for | rants which should properly follow Grand Jury indictments? Is it to anticipate and avert the) tion of the Grand Jury on the very line of investigation in which he warned it an indictment would not lie? The “way to convict,” as Justice Parker said, “is to convict’’—not through through the Grand Jury which ex- ists for that purpose. Why does the District-Attorney leave the beat- en track for the sidepath? arrests are made and the defendants released on habeas corpus, failing an indictment by the Grand Jury, justice would be obstructed and delayed, . here was o stir in the water, a pus: 6a by the Press Publishing Company, No. 63 to @ Park Row, New Yori | Entered at the Post-Ofice at New York as Seccnd-Clasa Mail Mat!

Why ozs he who, in Judge O’Sullivan’s words, “has been expediting justice by taking cases from Magistrates and submitting them to the Grand sJury,” suddenly take them from the Grand Jury to the Magistrates? Is it “to expedite justice ?” Certainly Mr. Jerome, by his peculiar course, has rendered his atti- tude toward the insurance investigation inexplicable. “We are not the _ Taw’s masters; we are its servants,” and the spectacle of a responsible , Sérvant assuming the role of master is as amazing as it is displeasing.
