 CuriOsitysAttaches.
A SuppoS!tion that Sensations
 Will Ripen Today.
Leandro Imperial, Bad Man, Ex- lied From Society for the
 Space of Ten Years.

The grand jury fer the May term of court filed it's final report late yester- day afternoon and was discharged. It was not made pu blic. The contents oi no former grand jury report have so aroused the curiosity of Phenicians. It is known, of course, that it contains the usual observation upon county buildings and the county offices. It was given out, too, that It presents in dictments for robbery against Henry Russell and James German, already in jail and on trial for another crime. The public cared nothing about the cases of these unimportant criminals or the affairs of the county. What else did the grand jury do? We'll, that win probably be found out today. It is certain that several other indictments were found, one rumor said eight and another said eleven against persons not now in custody. No bench war rants were, however, issued last night.
 The report was expected early yester- day morning and as the day passed on and it was not presented public interest in it grew. About the middle of the afternoon the jury sent for more doeu- mentsry evidence concerning some mat ter under consideration and then it became probable that sensation was impending.

The court excoriated the pyis- oner and expre ssed sincere regne3 ahss a too merciful jury had partially crie- pied the hand of justice.
