 My DEAR SIR: Crime has become so fragrant in Jefferson county that it be- hooves us who are entrusted with any re- sponsibility for the execution of the law to put in motion, as speedily as possible, all of the machinery of justice.
 Men have been murdered for exercising their God given right to earn their bread by the sweat of their brows; property has been destroyed by mobs; laborers have been intimdated and individuals, behind closed doors, and writers in the press, and speakers, abusing the liberty of speech,
  anarchy.
 The extent and the authors of these crimes cannot be detected and punished without the intervention of grand jury, and the longer it is delayed the more diff cult will be the task of bringing the guilty to punishment.
 I am aware that the regular term of your court is fixed by law for a date not much later than the time which would elapse be- fore special term could be held after giv- ing statutory notice. I respectfully submit for your consideration, however, that it would have most beneficial effect If spe- cial term of your honorable court was con- vened as soon as possible. With great re- spect, your obedient servant,
