"The district attorney is your legal r.dvleer In this matter," said the court to the grand Jury, "and the evident lack of consultation with the district attorney compels me to say to you that this should have been presented to him, and not to the court. If ha decides that the farts are sufficient, you can then bring the matter before the court through the proper channel." Foreman F. M. Johnson explained, the situation In which the grand Jury round itself by saying that the Jury had con Sited with the deputy district attorney d they had agreed to present the ques tion to the court.

Deputy District Attorney Adams ex plained thst the grand Jury had two things In view In presenting this matter to the. court, first aa to the presentment made yesterday, and second, as to an other matter which would be presented when the court had ruled on the first one. Foreman Johnson then drew from his pocket another presentment, but the court ruled that the district attorney should be consulted when his deputies were In doubt, "and." the court con tinued, "he should be consulted first on sll these questions, and not his depu ties. Take this matter before the dis trict attorney himself." ""he grand Jury then retired without presenting the second hypothetical case in which they wished Information as to the law. As to the exact nature of the presentment made yeaterday Judge George gave no Intimation other than referring to It as a esse of "false pretense."
