Judge Wickershnin, in liis in
structions to the grand jury, after
prescribing their duties and the*
method f procedure to lx- followed
l>y them, bad the following to say
regarding the action to be taken
hv the jury in the matter of local
misdemeanors:
“Valdez is the only town in the
roast district of this division which
has adopted municipal or town
government, and in considering
rriminal eases arising in this town
you should bear in mind the right
of the inhabitants thereof to gov
ern themselves in accordance with
the net of congress. The purpose
of that act ami the amendments
thereto is to place the duty upon
the people of this country to look
after and punish in their own lo
cal court all minor infractions of
the law occurring within it> Ixmn
ilaries. The grand jury meet* but'
once a year; the police courts in
Valdez. Eagle, China and Fair
hanks arc always open, and misde
meanors forbidden by town ordi
nances can. therefore, be much
more promptly a: d speedily pun
ched therein, while the fines and
costs may lx- added to the town
treasury. You should not. there
fore, burden the United States and
this court with indictments for
such misdemeanors committed
within those towns as they may
lawfully punish in the municipal
courts, but should leave the trial
thereof to the elected town authori
' til’s.
men* is a class ot inisilrmean
' ors. however, for the prevention of
which a spccitic penalty is provid
' ed hy the penal ooile of Alaska,
which is beyond the jurisdiction of
an incorporated town like Valdez,
anil for any violation of this class
you may present an indictment,
whether the crime i*e committed in
an incorporated town or not. You
are instructed that the district at
torney has power to put any per
son charged with a statutory mis
demeanor upon trial la-fore a com
missioner -itting as a justice of the
peace, or la-fore this court, upon a
written complaint or information
and without an indictment bv the
grand jury. You are not. there
fore. necessarily obliged to indict a
person charged with even a statu
tory misdemeanor to procure his
trial uud punishment, though you
you may do .»<> if it seems import
ant and necessary to protect the
public or to deter others from the
commission of that or similar of
fenses.” *****
*"u are turnin' instructed as a
matter of law that even if the town
officials who are elected hv the
people to enforce tlie town ordi
nances, and the federal authorities
who are appointed to enforce the
laws passed hv congress, shall t*oth
neglect to perform that duty, any
any citizen who knows that a crime
punishable under the laws of con
gress has lieen committed, may
procure a warrant for the arrest of
the offender, and cause him to l»e
prosecuted at public expense before
the commissioner sitting as a jus
tice of the peace, or, in case of fel
ony, to be held to hail to answer
to the next grand jury. No citizen
is obliged to sit idly by and see the
law violated because the prosecut
ing officers will not act,' hut he
may cause proceedings to lie insti
tuted in the name and at the ex
pense of the United States for the
suppression of crime, even without
-the assent of the grand jury or the
'■knowledge of the prosecuting at
tornov.”
‘•Hut. yon arc also further in
structed, gentlemen of the grand;
jury, that you have full and com
plete jurisdiction to inquire into I
all offenses against the penal law
of the I nited States whether those i
of a national or territorial charac
ter, and whether misdemeanor or
felony, committed within the in
corporated town of Valdez. You
must investigate all felonies com
mitted therein and if you find that
the town authorities have not made
or cannot for any reason make the
proper effort to punish jawsons
guilty of misdemeanors therein
though within the municipal pow
er to do so, it will he your duty, as
representatives of the citizens of
that town, to do so at the expense;
of the United States; the district1
attorney will give you such further
instruction and aid in the matter
its you may need.”
It is also ymir duly—and you
should not fail to perform it—to,
examine into the condition oi the
town offices of tin* town of Valdez.
in the same manner and for the
same reason that you examine fed
eral offices—for you are the repre
sentatives of the territory as well
as of the United States. You
should also examine the public
school funds in the incorporated
town of Valdez, and the hooks and
records kept by the school direct
ors. The schools are maintained
hy the public moneys, and you
should ascertain at least to your
satisfaction that tin* funds are
properly expended.”
