S. D. King, District Judge The Grand Jury
empaneled and instructed by you on the 10th
day of March, 1879, for the March term of
said Court, having inquired into all subjects
brought within their jurisdiction, respectfully
submit their report and ask to be discharged
on this the 9th day of March, 1879:
| The Grand Jury has been in actual session
for seven days, and has found the following
| true bills of indictment, to-wit: one for burg
larry, four for embezzlement, and ignored two
for an attempt to kidnap.
The former Grand Jury having been long
time in session, and having made a thorough
examination of the books and official acts and
| records of county officials, we deemed it un-
necessary to again examine them at this time
to any great extent.
By committees we have inquired into mat
ters pertaining to school district No. /, and
also into the condition Of the county building
In the first instance, the committee report
hattering promises ON the part of Trustees
ana Principal of needed changes about to be
made, and recommended the withholding of
opinion of the Grand Jury to give them time
and opportunity to complete their anticipated
changes and reforms. In the second instance,
the committee report that they have examined
into the condition of the county building,
known as the Court house, and find that the
reports of the preceding Grand Juries for the
last four years on this subject have been sub
stantially correct, and that the condition of
the Court house aad jail, in default of any
required repairs, does not improve with age
We find things are kept in as good condition
as can be in and about the building, offices |
and jail without considerable outlay of money. |
There is not room in the whole building at |
all suitable for the purposes for which it is
used but the County Clerks office, and even |
that has no vault for the safety and security |
of the records. Some much needed repairs |
are being made in the Jail and Sheriff's office, |
which will add much comfort to the Sheriff |
and his officials, and afford much improved |
system of ventilation to the Jail, but all i'm
provements of the kind being made can only
afford temporary relief,
Against some of the members of the late
Legislature of this State grave charges have
been made of fraud and corruption by large
portion of our press and people. We there
fore diligently applied ourselves to the task oi
ascertaining whether these accusations were
founded in fact. These general charges have
not been made sufficiently specific for the
Grand Jury to find a true bill in any case, but
the weight of the testimony before us has
been such as not to exonerate a few of the
members from the odinm attached to theu
It is true that in one instance a confession to
witnesses has been made by member of the
Legislature sufficiently strong to convict him
we're such confessions made in a qualified
manner. His excessive habits, coupled with
lis extreme braggardisrn, would relieve hun
rom the responsibility of his own confession, ,
ence 1.-The game is not worth the POWDER"
nd experience has thus again taught the Z
esson that 'honor is not seenly for fool
