Judge Greene save his charge to the
Jury at o'clock in the afternoon. The
charge was brief, but It was decidedly
to the point. The Jurors were charged
that they should enforce the laws laid
down In the statute books and this
was mentioned with emphasis. The
Jury was charged especially with re-
gard to the gambling places In the
city. Upon this matter the Judge said
the officers whose duty It was some
times seemed purbisld and the gam
blers went on with their devices I'M
molested. Also as to the sunday law.
this should be strictly enforced, not
only with regard to the Beliing OF in
toNicating liquors. but also IN other
things. The sale OF a cigar or OF
yard OF calico was as much an IN
frlngement OF the law as the sale OF
drink in barroom or elsewhere.
Judge Green also directed the attention
Of the jury 70 the number OF immoral
houses. which are nulaances that ought
90 be abuted. Agair, he mentioned the
numbers OF people living openly IN
violation or morality, no marriage tie
binding them. All OF these people the
jury was charged to bring 10 Justice.
The Jurors should exercise their pow
er8 without regard 10 politics or with
out regard to any political influence an
individual might have Ia any political
party. Judge Greene said that " the
minor oneuses, sueh ns the carrying
OF concealed weapons etc, were moro
strictly dealt with there would be less
" greater offensca against the law.
with reference 10 tho houses Ia Fort
Worth which were rented out TO be
used ~ houses Of prostitution, Judge
Greene told the jury that the owners
Of thcHa houses who rented them out
for such purposes were just as much
amennble to the law as the occupants
Of them.
The grand jury which has boon Sc
lected RIconsidered n strict ono and
one that'will be O terror to evil doors.
"It's a bad old jury" significantly re-
marked court official.
