I am accused of the awful crime of writing
the report of the grand jury. Do these critics
consider it the duty of some other member to
do that work? That it was my report is true
only in the sense that I drafted the general con-
clusions upon the reports of the committees
submitted to me, which was adopted by the
grand jury without dissent. That clerical errors
may explain some of the matters reported by
the committee on the probate clerk’s office, I
do not doubt, but they were errors of the clerk,
not of the committee or jury. The vindication of
Mr. Carpenter or any other official can not be
complete and final because of the discovery of
a few clerical errors.
