Mayor Robins on the grand

jury which has fl“ called to in-

players in Fairfield. and which has
about it many phases unusual to
the ordinary grand jury.

Yesterday Judge Booth charged
the grand jury on its duties in this
case. and the jury then adjourned
until next week.

“The' purpose to which you should
address your inouiry." Judge Booth
told the Jury. "is whether there is
ground to believe that case of crim-
inal homicide has been commit-
ted. which ought to be brought
to the attention of the court.

“Not whether ‘A' or ‘B' ‘is guilty
of some offense. but is there pro-

unusual proceeding. to take verbatin
reports of the testimony.

Judge Booth, in detail, surveyed
the law concerning murder in the
first and second degrees and con-
cerning manslaughter, dwelling lip-
on the necessity of malice motivat-
ing a killing to bring the charge
within that of murder. 0

“And the mere fact." said Judge
Booth. “that the law permits is. man
to bear arms. such as In emcer,
or citizen having a. permit for that
purpose. does not affect the rule.

Both Mine Owners
And Workers Hostile
To Settlement Terms

LONDON. Msy 12.--(AP) Pro-
posals of Premier Baldwin look-
ing to s. settlement of the coal
strike have been rejected by both
the miners and the mine owners.
The minors declined to accept in-
creased hours of work or reduc-
tion in wages. Now the mine
owners have announced that they
are opposed to government inter-
forence with the industry and in-

 

 

sists that the only real remedy
for the situation is the adoption
of the eight hour day.

The rejection of the Baldwin
plan means the withdrawal of s
promise of a government sub-
sidy of 3.000.000 pounds. The
Mlnors‘ Federation has requested
:he Railway Union not to handle
:oal. The railways themselves
have further reduced their train
service because of their inability,
to secure fuel. The striking in
the mines already is affecting
other industries seriously.
