GILVND JURY IXDICTJIEXT
SYSTEM MUCH AT FAULT.
First Inatanro to Conto Under Law
Adopted by the People Relative to
Drawing Indictments, I VMble lo
Union County TodajM-Meana Ex
inordinary BoardbllU and Con
gmted Jails Grand Jury Alone
Cn Draw Indictment. .
It la Just beginning to dawn on the
taxpayers of Union county what a
mesa has been created by the pas
sage of the "grand Jury Indictment"
system of Indicting accused persons.
The direct result or the people's ac
tion in doing away WUH the former
practice when district attorneys
could draw an Indictment at will. Is
only now beginning to how luelf.
Governor Chamberlain ha declared
the referendum law In effect
Will Fill Jails. -
By the provisos or this law no ac
cused persons can be' Indicted until
the grand Jury sits. The first Illus
tration of this imposition I seen In
this city In the case of Jim Moore, the
aheepherder who killed a fellow
sheepherder near Telocaset a few
day ago. Moore will be given pre
liminary hearing at thl time, but
the Indictment against him cannot be
made until the grand Jury meet In
October. Hence, If he Is bound over
and doe not give ball, he! will be fed
at the expense of Union county until
that time. If a score of men were
to Commit misdeeds tnmnrrnw lh.
would have to be held until October
before Indictments could be made
against them.
lloavy Hoard R41U.
The measure can mean but two
things: that the Jails of the state will
be filled to overflowing and the
bnardbllla occasioned by keeping pris
oners so long will be enormous.
The ssme thing I true in Umatilla
county now. A prisoner Is belna held
there from the middle of June until j
the October term of ptrenii mh.i )
when a grand Jury will be ampan-l
neled to draw an Indictment. '
