It is not pleasant to be a Grand
Jnryman. There is too much they are
required to learn, even when they do
not want to know. II they hear OF
any crime, it is the place of the Grand
Jury to find out all about it, and cause
the arrest of the guilty ones.
Twenty.seven true bills is the result
of the investigations. Seven and
twenty persons will have to answer to
the court for all manner OF crimes, they
having been indicted by the Grand
Inquest OF the county.
OF course these indictments don't
tell half the story. Many cases were
Investigated that indictments could
not be found against. Some of these
cases might have had merit about them,
but there was some important evidence
lacking which at this time could not
be supplied. This Grand Jury has
been doing a vast amount of work. It
was a working jury, and they were
eager to sift every case down as far as
they could. Morris Bacon is man of
ability, and as foreman of the jury he
proved the right man in the right place.
Samuel NJ. Allen, of this city, was clerk
OF the Inquest.
The indictments of those persons
who are in custody or on bail can be
given, while of course those who have
been indicted and who are not yet un-
der arrest will not learn of their trouble
through newspaper, but will get his
first intimation about the time a bench
warrant Is served. The indictments
are as follows:
