To His Honor, ". j. GILMORE, Judge
of the Court OF Common Pleas, Pre-
BILE Co., @:
SIR: We, the Grand Jury for
Preble County, beg leave TO report,
/ tlIAS We hbbO II4uIIC VI u u OII
plants of crime that have been prop
| erly called to our notice We have
| examined los witnesses, and found
twenty five true bills. We have Wis
tied our County Prison, and find, as
all other Grand Jury's have for many
years, that it is kept in as good order
and condition by tic sheriff, as its
present condition will warrant, but
we UNANIMOUSLY agree that it is to-
tally unfit for the confinement OF pris-
oners, and common humanity de-
mands that the County Commission
ers- take immediate steps to put il in
such a condition as will make it a sui
table place of confinement for con-
victs. We believe that the Jail can
be made convenient, comfortable,
healthy and safe, at Il comparatively
small cost, by taking out the inner
walls and present cells, and erecting
therein iron cells of modern ccnstruc-
ton and building a house for the jail
lor at the north end of the Prison.
w desire also to express Il thanks
to Judge Campbell, our efficient Pros
ecuting Attorney, for his attention
and earnest cooperation by which, in
a great measure, we have been able
to bring our labors to such n speedy
ClOSc , dIIlt W lit ENI1CIlI anu Ills LICD-
uty for their kind aticnti III to our
wants. Respectfully submitted.
