THE GRAND JURY.
A Remarkable Document Reviewed
BY Citizen.
To the Editor Of the Ne,Os:

To the Editor Of the NeUs:
The charge of the grand jury as
published Sunday morning contained
some very remarkable statements,
of which the following is the most
striking:
"In regard to the sale of lottery
tickets, to which your honor directed
special attention, the grand jury finds
that there is considerable traffic IN
lottery tickets, and without any effort at
concealment. The individuals en-.
gagged in this traffic are not of the
class usually known as law-breakers
and claim that their transactions are
entirely legal. The grand jury has,
therefore, in the exercise of its dis
cretion, presentedonly few bills forthis
offense, being assured that if on trial
it is found that the law is being vio-
lated, the persons engaged therein will
desist of their own will"
Which being interpreted reads:
Your honor has instructed us that SELL
ing lottery tickets is direct violation
of the law, but we differ with your
honor on that point because "there is
considerable traffic in lottery tickets,
and without any concealment,"
and moreover, because "the individuals
engaged in this traffic are not of the
class usually knoacn as law breakers,
and claim that their transactions are
entirely legal" Yes judge, we know
the law better than you dc, but we
will bring "few' indictments against
these parties just to show you how
quickly the cases will fall through
when brought up for trial. But if you
prove to us and these gentlemen in
dicted that you do know the law bet.
ter than we do and insist on punish
ing them, we believe that they will go
out of business.
Then follows another remarkable
statement:
"The city has jurisdiction of the
laws against gambling, and violations
of the Sunday law, and a force of
nine or ten policemen for enforcing
the law, and yet these laws are not
enforced"
The Sunday law and the laws
against gaming are state laws and to
county officers is given the work of
seeing these laws enforced, There
are nine justice courts in the county
and one county court, nine consta.
bles and about as many deputy sher-
ifs, grand jury and county attor-
ney, elected to carry out these laws,
and yet the grand jury says they "are
not enforced" Whyi the county at
torney not instructed to use the gigantic
machinery of the state to enforce these
laws7 The police are not detectives,
nor are they deputy sheriffs, strictly
speaking, but their principle business
is to keep the streets quiet, and pre-
vent the COWS from eating the new
city hall.
The grand jury is again wrong il

dine Square, the pretty park ON which MIR. Grin
nell's house fronts and observed the location.
They discussed the question as TO whether IL
would be better to place dynamite bomb under
the house or to execute the deed with a revolver.
The conspirators were armed with dynamite
bombs, revolvers, and poisoned daggers. The
circumstances and the opportunity were TO de-
eide which should be used. Hronek carried
bombs in his pockets, 3S-caliber self-acting re-
volvor, and a poisoned dagger when ON his mis-
sion of revenge.
Chebowa is pleasant-fac man of 81 years,
and his countenance indicates too much milk OF
human kindness in his heart for told-blooded,
trencherous murder. Until their plans had
reached the 4th OF July point of preparation, Che
bowa had been carrie along by the blood-thirsty
impetuosity Of Hronek. Chebowa said that Hro-
nek's plan meant murder-deliberate dastardly
nssa estimation. He was shocked at the prospect.
Tho conspirators had arranged TO assassinate
Mr. Grinnell July H. The mode OF the kill
ing had not been decided, but either dyna-
mite bomb was to be thrown into his bedroom
or explc ded beneath his residence, on he was 10

At meeting of the board of trustees of
Charlotte Hall School last week the princi-
pal. Capt r. w. Sylvester, recommended
IL the board the dismissal OF three students
of the institution whom he found unable to
control by applying the usual discipline.
The matter was carefully considered by the
board, and after thorough examination
into the cases before them, they decided to
inform the parents of two of the boys TO
withdraw them from the school at the end
of the present term, and the third delin-
quent reported by the principal, was allow
cd 10 remain on condition that he would
conform more strictly TO the rules of the
school. These are the first diSmisSals from
Charlotte Hall in many years and the
recommendation shows that Capt Silves-
ter is earnest in his offers 90 place the
school on high plane, both as regards
studies and morality, and We believe that
under his energetic control Charlotte Hall
is destined TO take leading place among
the educational institutions of the State
Port Tobacco Times.
