III J4NUARY 15, 1927. NoC 1. HE LIED LIYE A GENTLEMAN. The decision ef the Circuit -Court of Appeals affirm- ing the conviction of Eqrl Carroll for perjury before the Grpnd Jury will be extremely helpful in the adminis- tration of criminal law in our district. It classifies lying before the Grand Jury as an e tra-hazardous employ- ment. The 'ircuit (ourt refuses to limit the oowers of the Grand Jury by narrow ond tec',nical questions of materiality. 7his c~se from the very beginning has been far more importpnt than the prosecution of the violation of any pprticulnr statute because Carroll's testimony before the Grand Jury raised the general question of t*-, prosecution of all offenses ngainst all statutes. The jury repudiated the defense that lying before a Grand Jury is commendable if in reference to s Drohi- bition investigation. Digitized from Best Copy Available
