Circuit Court.

MARCH BRM 1913,
SARDIs, MISS, April LIST 1873.
To the Hon. Il. s. Fisher, Judge
18th Judicial District of Missis-
sippi.
W. the Grand Jurors empan nell
cd and sworn for the present. ter m
Of this court, beg leave to submit
the following summary upon the
conclusion OF, our duties:
Upon diligent inquiry we believe
and have presented all whose crimes
appeared to us, upon sufficient tssti-
mony indictabls and though in some
instances they may amount to little
more than misdemeanors, we feel
that your Honor will in all such
cases exercise that clemency which
may appear to the best interest Of
society. As q general thing We be-
lieve the magistrates have acted
carefully and we'll in all cases where
they had jurisdiction aud that their
presence is felt in the good order
generally prevailing. We have care
fully examined their dOckets, especi-
ally as to the amount Of fine collect
ed for which we invariably called
for vouchers as to their disposition
the Treasures receipt We accepted
in all cases as 4 good aud valid
voucher. Some Of these dockets
appearing somewhat irregular, the
services Of the accomplished District
Attorney were made available, who
readily explained to such justices
their duties when upon promises OF
doing better we could see no cause
for censure and dismissed them for
the inspection Of future Grand Juries.
In this connection your Honor will
permit us to return our thanks to
Col. Brady whom we have found
the fright man in the right place.

st all times to assist us by his able
counsel and advice. Upon inquiry

ANOTHER DowSFALL.-The Rochester Union
OF the 22d makes the statement that forged pa
per has been found afoat in that city, drawn
by ex-Msyor Charles IL. Clock. The Union
says: Chow much of this forged paper is aflOat
cannot now be stated, but it will amount to sew
eral thousand dollars. 1t was also ascertained
by visiting several bankers that for the past
three years at least paper made by Clark, and
bearing the endorsement of Addison Gard iner
has been negotiated, and when matured and
protested has been taken up by Clark and paid.
An instance was related that when accused OF
forging Judge Gardeners name he said il was
not Judge Gardeners name, but 1t was another
Addison Gardiner, residing in this city, who
made the paper. There is an Addison X. q ard
ner noted in the directory. With these facts
gathered, our reporter thought to interview Mr.
Clark, but found that he was lying hopelessy i'll
at his residence, and that his death was daily
expected. His mind has wandered for several
days, and his financial affairs seem to trouble
him-he declaring that he has paid five hun
dred dollars on forged Osburn note for seven
hundred dollars, and that the balance will be
taken care of. His relatives, although recog-
niZing his crimes, states that for two years past
they have not believed him to be of sound
mind, and he certainly has not acted like sane
man.
