We have examined carefully all causes
committed to our charge and all complaints
laid before us. As instructed by the Court
we examined the Sheriff of the county and
officers of the Jail in regard to the lynch
ing of Stephen Williams during October,
1894, and have been unable to find any
81 lie to the perpetrators of the unlawful act
which the iury could follow out with any
hope of success.
The Constables of the county, with one
exception and he from severe illness was
unable to attend have been before us and
report good order in their respective dis
trictS.
The Jury believes it to be subject of
concentration, that, with the exception of
that section of the county Immediately adj
iacent to the District of Columbia, not a
single instance of violation of law has
been reported to us. No occasion has
arisen under which the officers OF the law
been underline necessity Of eXerclSlng their
functions No stronger evidence could be
given of the law abiding chat acter and high
moral standing of the people OF our county.
Our thanks are due our States Attorney
for the prompt manner III which ne rem
us all the assistance required by law.

g orge'x Comfy. Nd, april Term, 1898.
The undersigned, a committe, appointed
bv your Honorable body to visit the Aims
House of Prince Georges county, respect
fully report that they visited the Aims
House on " ednesday, April Bird, 1893, and
made a careful examination OF the build
ings and grounds and found same were
kept in good order and condition by the
keeper There are 81 inmates conhned
there at this time, 10 whites and i colored
persons. who seem to be well cared for.
We recommend that the roof on the out
building occupied by the colored persons,
be painted at once. as it is very much in
need of same and we believe will be the
means of making the building more du-
rable and prevent any leakingin the future.
