Answer to the Rule of the Court Made Public Yester day. Will Hear Other Cases Before Sentence is Passed. Judge Bynum, Judge Moore, Mr. E. Cansler, District Attorney Holton arH Mr. A. H. Price Made Strong Legal Arguments. Court Room Filled With Lawyers The order of Judge Boyd, of the Dis trict Court, requiring certain grand jurors who served at the Statesville term of the District Court to appear and show cause why they should not be attached for contempt for reveal ing certain matters which transpired in their body, to-wit: Furnishing the counsel in the defense of the Old Nick Williams Distilling Co. with certain evidence which they used as a basis for a plea in abatement and upon which the court without admitting the legality or right of the plea quashed the bill of indictment, was heard in the court this morning as to Grand Jurors Atwell and Kennedy, of Rowan county. The rule was made return able Thursday next, 1mt these jurors Avaived the right as to time and ap peared this morning to make answer. In behalf of the respondent, Judge Bynum made a very learned argu ment, which was replied to by Mr. A. H. Price, assistant district ' attorney. At this stage of the proceedings Judge Boyd said: - "There are only two' questions in volved here, and they are: How far did the injunction of secrecy extend in the beginning, and did it apply to all acts of the grand jury, or to specific acts only?" ' - " Addressing themselves to these questions, Judge Moore, for the de fense, made a very logical argument, which was replied to by District At torney Holton, who relied upon the case of State vs. Broughton, reported in the North Carolina reports, the opinion being writteij)y Chief Justice Ruffin, which-seemed to be directly in point. To .he district attorney Judge By num replied with eloquence and tem per. t Mr. Price spoke a few words and then Mr. Cansler, of the Charlotte bar, made a very eloquent plea for the de fense, and discussed the law as he understood it. This ended the argu ment. Judge Boyd, in taking up the case, said: "The court lias listened with interest to this discussion. It is a great ques tion and ought to be settled right and now. t The court does not understand the injunction of secrecy to be on the one hand absolute and perpetual, nor on the other hand to be by the grand jury opened to be disregarded at will. There are certain conditions and cer tain occasions in which courts 'have held what the law is and . what is meant by this veil of secrecy thrown over the actions, of the grand jury. It is well settled that the courts may at any time remove the injunction, and permit grand jurors to testify as to what occurred in the grand jury room. Noted cases ate cited, and in such cases justice could not be had ex cept by removing the veil and not only permitting but requiring, grand jurors to testify. On the other hand, as the court understands, it has not been the rule to open the way for grand jurors to make public, upon their own motion, matters which took place in their own body while being a component part of the court. There is no case in which the counsel for the defease have the right to examine the witnesses for the prosecution ex cept in :' the' highest crimes such as murder and then it is more a rule of comity than of law. . The court is not of th opinion, either, that the in junction of sesrecy ends when the grand jury is discharged and the de fendant arrested, but continues, so far as all except the court is concerned, continually. Suppose that it were per mitted, after a bill was found, for a grand juror to go to the defendant's counsel and detail the testimony of all the witnesses for the prosecution. Will any lawyer contend that that is the rule? "As to the right of the court to punish for contempt, it is admitted that the act of 1831 very materially limits the power of the-court, but the case before us h( not analagous to that of an editor who publishes a criticism of an opinion of the court.. But, it seems to me, that under the latter clause of that act, the jurisdiction of this case is complete. Otherwise the administration of an oath to a, grarM juror would have no effect whatever. If these grand jurors have wilfully, of their own motion, violated the injunc tion -of the court, then they come with in the perview of the statute. : "There are many paliating circum stances in this case, especially on the side of Mr. Kennedy, against whose son a bill was found together with the bill against the Old Nick Williams Company. , And it is not a question of punishing, the respondents in this cas'e, but a matter 'of having it deter mined now whether grand jurors shall continue to act In this manner. If they were" so permitted to act in the future, it would result in utter chaos in this district. And for this A Good Way to Get Rid reason these grand jurors cannot be exonerated." Judge Boyd announced that he would impose some punishment, but would reserve sentence until the oth er grand jurors, upon whom , the rule was served, appeared and answered. Judge Moore, for the defense, an nounced that they desired to carry the case to the Circuit Court of Appeals. And the court announced that there would be no difficulty in making up the case on appeal. i If the case is appealed to the Cir cuit Court, it is agreed that only one of th cases will be carried up, and that all of the other "eases will be de termined by it as practically the same point is involved the whole way through.

Hotels Kick on Tax. The State Auditor has received no tice from several hotel keepers in the State that they will not pay Ihe tax levied by the last legislature on hotels for the reason that the section of the act is defective in that there is no tax levied on hotels charging a two dollar rate.
