Fifty-FOur Indictments Hand
ed in by the Retiring
Grand Jury.
But Sixteen Are Withheld,
and Are Thought to Be
Gamblers.
One Case Is for Murder and
the Rest Are for Petty
Crimes.
Recommendations of the Jury
Touching Jails and
Stations.

The grand jury returned fifty-four
indictments sh Ortly before 5 o'clock last
evening. When it filed into the court
room and handed over the large batch
of indictments, in addition to its general
report, Judge Brlll's face was wreathed
in smiles, and after brief inspection of
the report he thanked the jurors for
their dlligent work, and adjourned
them over until Nov. 81. He did not
discharge them, for the reason that an
other grand jury will not be summoned
until January, and it is probable more
matters may come up for investigation
before the end of the year.
From the glist of indictments were
selected sixteen, which were hidden
from the scrutiny of the reporters, for
the reason that the persons charged by
them with offenses are not in custody.
1t has been intimated that these are
against persons for gambling and con-
Quoting houses of ill-repute.
There is but one murder case in the
list; that is against Annie M. Smith,
colored woman, and Charles Hennlg,
with whom she lived, charging them
with murder iE the first degree, in that
they shot Hoppe on July last at Lake
Josephine. 1t will be remembered that
Hople was fishing and his body was
found in the lake with bullet hole in
it. The woman is supposed to have
done the shooting, and the two put the
body into the lake.
