THE MAUI NEWS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1913.
JUDGE KINGSBURY'S FINE
CHARGE TO GRAND JURY
Gentlemen of tlie Grand Jury:
You Lave just taken your oath of
j- lice aw (iraml Jurymen. You
will, us soon as you get this charge,
retire to your (iraml Jury-ro;iii ami
complete your organization as such
tribunal by selecting one of your
mmilicr to act as ami he your Secre
tary who will keep the minutca of
your proceedings.
Your functions as such tribunal
are govermncr.tal and judicial.
You represent the people of Maui
and, through you, the people ini
tiate proceedings for the trial of
persons charged with committing
crimes.
Your attention will lie called to
Midi matters hy the County Attor
ney who will assist you regarding
form and procedure and advise you
as to matters of law. lie will also
assist hy examining witnesses before
yon and by drawing up your charges
called indictments.
However, if you deem it your
duty, you can examine into any
cases of suspected crime of your
own motion. Ui.it you will most
likely not be called upon to bring
up cases to which the County At
torney docs not call your attention,
as the duties of his oflice demand
and elTectuate that he is best in
formed as to all criminal cases in
this County.
In the performance of your duties,
keep in mind the place you occupy
as the tribune of the people.
Indict no one on account of
malice and do not fail to indict on
account of fear or favor. Truth
and a love of Justice should guide
you.
If facts show a crime has been
committed and that certain person
or persons are guilty of it, then
indict.
This is your sworn duty, and
both Justice and leiievolenee re
quire this of you.
To neglect to indict for crime is
cruelty to the people, to the crimi
nal and to your own selves The
people are forced to depend upon
you and if you fail them, you do
cruel injury to the County of Maui.
If you allow crime to go without
any attempt to punish, it is cruel to
rtie guilty and encourages them in
more crime to their final destruc
tion; and to be so recreant to your
duty is to most cruelly inllict in
your own souls a sense of blame
worthiness. The form and constitution of our
government is benevolent and it is
so not merely in theory but in fact;
and no phase of it is more plainly
so than in its provisions for pre
venting injury to all by punishing
the few w ho are guilty.
Your duties as Grand Jurymen
are, no doubt, pretty well under
stood by nearly ali of you and I see
many who have been on jury-panels
before and arc hence experienced
jurymen.
If I were to give you one word
which should best express your at
titude in your present ollice, it
would be the word "patriotism."
If you are filled with the virtue
of patriotism, you will be perfect
('rand Jurymen.
If you have not this virtue, you
can not he safely relied upon in
any ollice or for any service your
Country rcqnircs of you.
Patriotism makes you to desire
and work for the general good to
be well-wishers-benevolent a vir
tue without which no man is . a
good man in any sense. With this
virtue, you must use your intelli
gence enlightened by the lamp of
Truth.
Your aim is Justice your guide
is Truth. Get at the facts the
stubborn facts and without fear or
favor decide as the facts convince
you .
You should have malice toward
no man, but you should hate crime.
You cannot too much detest acts
which violate the law and so injure
the people. You will not bear ill
will towards any man or even any
thing capable of pain and pleasure
and good-will for all sentient beings
is full obedience to the divine law
the "Golden llule." Hut the "will
ing the good" necessitates that you
eiTect that the wicked be restrained
and punished for it is as much what
they need as it is what they deserve.
Study their good by finding what is
just.
Justice and Mercy are founded on
one and the same genuine funda
mental virtue.
The man who does not hate crime
and detest wrong-doing should not
be on a Grand Jury. He should
not be received in g.iod society, lie
is worse than a nuisance for he is a
menance to public welfare.
Patriotism requires that every
citizen love the good of his country
and detest the vilemss that makes
it suffer.
The sickly sentimentality that
mistakes wicked weakness fur mer
cy is abhora nt to every miund-lhiuk-

ing right-feeling-man. It adver
tisis the fact that the man who
poses ns merciful is himself guilty
of such baseness as to feel a kinship
with criminals. "It is the fellow
feeliiiK that makes him wondrous
kind."
Separate the man who is a cri
minal from the crime and detest
crime with all your power for hate.
There is no sufficient excuse for a
crime. A man's mind who looks
for excuse for crime becomes pollut
ed. The lawyer who is always do
ing this is a pollutor of public
morals. His duty to a client who
is guilty of crime is fully performed
by seeing that he is fairly and legal
ly convicted. As a decent lawyer
and good citizen, he should go no
further.
A lawyer ought to be patriotic at
all times and ought to desire that
our laws are obeyed and should not
stand in the way of just legal pun
ishment for those who break the
aw. He can and should see that
they have their legal rights and
their legal rights is to have the pun
ishment inflicted which the law im
poses for the crime.
All men whether laymen or law
yers should uphold the laws
should desire Justice should so act
as to discourage wrong doing.
There is no half-way-station a
man is either a patriot or he is not;
and if a patriot, he is as much for
his country and its laws and insti
tutions as is the soldier in her
army. A man does not always need
a gun in order to fight for his
country. Every good citizen is en
listed for his country's cause. It is
the cause of the people of Hawaii
that injury and suffering be shut
out by prevention of crime through
punishment of the guilty.
Gentlemen, you are high officers
in the patriotic army to war against
crime and must wield the sword of
Justice. Do your duty fearlessly as
good men and true.
The Court appoints Mr. James
Fantom, to be yotir Foreman
He is your moderator and presiding
officer and must sign your charges
and do generally the service of a
Foreman.
The County Attorney will bo your
advisor and aid you in legal pro
cccdings and will, no doubt, have
certain cases to present to you for
your action.
The County Sheriff will aid you
on your request' and will appoint
two of his deputies to serve you and
attend upon your requests.
Our land is free, and its laws
benevolent. Ours is th highest
form of government: self-govern
mentand the highest expression
of government is the judicial and
you are high up as judicial officers
of this County for in your purticu
lar place and function, you are
supreme.
I charge you to be patriotic at all
times an I you can make no subjec
tive governmental jnistake.
When your labors are over, you
will make a final and full report to
the Court
You may retire to your Grand
Jury Iloom.

MADE A GREAT HIT.
Th Amateur Pianiat Who Thought Ha

An orchestra leader who conducted
for Rubinstein when the great must
clan was on tour, tells of a joke play
ed in one city on an amateur pianist.
"The amateur's fattier was the own
er of a large hall, and bo offered the
use of It to Rubinstein for his benefit.
There was to be a piece for four
pianos, and the amateur wag to piny
one of the instruments. I was the
leader. I thought Rubinstein would
have a fit when I told him that the
amateur couldn't play three straight

aid I, 'and ruin the performance.'
"Rubinstein swore like a major, but
'twas no good. The bills were out and
be must keep faith.
"At last 1 hit on an Idea. The amo
teur came down to rehearsal and we
praised him up until be thought he
was to be the star of the night. As
soon as be left we took the hammers
out of his plnuo and made it dumb as
an oyster. I guessed he would never
know the difference with three pianos
going at once.
"And, just as I thought, that ami
teur and his friends never discovered
the trick. No, sir; he just sailed in
and pounded on that piano as If it was
the worst enemy he ever had. He was
bound to show off among so many
good pianists, and he hammered on
bis keyboard until the perspiration
nearly blinded htm. Now and then I
looked at blm approvingly to give hlni
fresh courage, and every time that 1
did he gave the piano a lick thut near
ly made matchwood of it.
"His friends all around threw liou-.
quets at hlin till he looked like a wed
ding arch, and when it was all over
his fond parent fell on his neck in
the greenroom and slipped a fut check
Into bis hand.
"'Didn't he do splendidly?' said he
to me.
" 'I never heard an amateur do so
well In public,' said I, and. will's
more, I meant it."
