MARTIN LOOKING UP LAW
Attorney General Hot Searching for
More Word in Omaha.
WILL COME HERE IP OEDEEED
Statutes Dej Rat Specifically Delia
What Mar Daaa la Caaaertlaa
with liacHaa Before
Grand Jarlea.
(From Statt Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Jan. Jt-(8peclal.)-GoTernor
Aldrtca has not yet .made a formal re
Queat upon the attorney general that he
go to Douslas county and tafca a kasd
In affair there, but he "hae'talked the
matter over Informally with htm and In
dicated that he would aoon put the order
Into legal form.
In view of thla Attorney Ganeral Martin
la engaged looking up the law la tha case.
Ha ha not been able to find anything
which would entitle htm to appear on hii
own notion, but the law don make It
hia duty, on the requeat of the governor
to appear In any court of tha atat In
case where the state la a party to an
actios.
Nothing la laid In the statute regarding?
grand Juries and the question appears to
be whether the grand Jury, which la a
part of the machinery of the court, cornea
within the designation of court" In the
sense of giving him the light to epeper
before Jt In behalf of the state. Even
If he does. It appears certain that any
Indietmenta returned must be drawn by
the county attorney, as well as - the
performance of all other duties pertain
ing; to bringing the Indictment into court.
As tha county attorney Is the servant
of the grand jury anoVlt is within- the
province of the Jury to say whether an
Indictment shall be returned thla feature
does not appear to be so Important.
Martin Ret Aaitees. - -
Attorney FUeneral Martin, however, Is
nut, -however, particularly anxious to
Undertake the tank. In fact will not do
It unless the governor formally requests
k- ne says mat bis ornce is already ever
burdened with work eud Is not able
te keep up with the usual duties of the
office. Further he Is not delighted with
the idea of mixing up In Omaha affairs.
Tha greatest objection, however, la that
he is receiving similar requests con
alantly and all over the state end he has
persstently decided to go outside lila'regu-
lsr duties because of lark of time, end
dislikes exceedingly to have a precedent
of this kind established, it lie finds, afhr
examining the law, that It Is hli duty to
do ao oa the request of lo i governor. 'if
course he will undertake the work and
do tha best he can to cleir, up the win
ation and bring to Justice any who are
ascertained to have violated the law.
The governor Is of the opinion that so
ions a the charge! of law Violation have
been ;aad and alas that local officials
ere not using due diligence te bring; the
vlolatorsto Justi ce, that It Is encumbent
Upon tha stats, to step in and perform
that duty, or at least demonstrate tha
truth or fajairjl of the rumors, which ru
ef such a -serious character, be mat n
alna, as to throw discredit upon the city
and Incidentally upon tha whole stste.
