A MAMMOTH LIST
OF INDICTMENTS RETURNED By THE GRAND
JURY, YESTERDAY.
None Of the Bills Of Very Grave Importance,
Most Of the Findings Being for Aisds-
meanors Of q Certain Class

The grand jury of the Criminal Court
resumed its labors yesterday morning at
hali-past nine o'clock, and kept pegglng
right along until about half-past one In
the afternoon, when an Adjournment
was taken for dinner. At three O'CLOCK
the jury reassembled, and after about
three quarters Of an hour OF additional
work, came into Court, with one huD-
dred and forty-one true bills, full list
of the indictments being appended. as
will be seen, about three-fourths OF
the indictments are for keeping
houses OF i'll repute and kindred OIL
lenses, and the fact that one hundred
women are indicted, will serve to show
how many of that class there are In this
community-or rather it will give an
indication of the total number, for all
were not indicted, by any means. Inc
felony cases are only moderately I'm
portant ones, and little in the way OF
sensationallsm may be looked for at this
term of Court The Criminal aocKe'
will be called tomorrow, while the Cir-
cult Court dockets are to be called To-
day.
In the Criminal Court, yesterday
morning, Ia the eleven cases pending
against Mrs. Elizabeth Emblem, Tor
rsntinp houses 10 be used as houses OF
ill-fame, there was q plea OF guilty as
TO all, and the Court imposed hne OF
thirty dollars and costs, in each case.
In delivering this sentence, Judge Jor-
dan delivered little lecture TO the
defendant, in the course OF Wnlcn ne
stated that it was only her gray hairs,
and the fact that she had seen nj 10
come into Court and enter plea OF
guilty and had compelled all her dis
reputable tenants to leave her houses,
was what saved her from Imprisonment
as well as a fine. William L. Emblem,
her son, then entered plea OF guilty
as TO the ten cases still pending against
him. and a fine OF one dollar and
costs was entered In each case. Inc
Court made some remarks In disposlng
of this matter, also, saying, among
other things, that he would make the
fines In the cases before him light and
omit the imprisonment, in consldera-
ton of the heavy fine and Imprisonment
meeted out in the case upon which the
defendant was convicted at the last
term.
