To the Honorable Judge of the Criminal
Court of Jackson County Mo:
We commend the prosecuting attorney
OF ms county: his assistants. the marshal
ana MS DEPUTIES for the zeal and energy
displayed by them in presenting matters
before this grand jury.
Irregular Jury Drawing
we find from our investigation of the
manner OF drawing petit jurors for the
circuit and criminal courts of this county
that about 20 per cent of the men whose
names are drawn from the wheel are ney-
er summoned as jurors. We. therefore.
recommend to the honorable county court
of Jackson county that at the earliest
possible date they remove all the names
from sad jury wheel and refill it with
names OF qualified jurors of this county in
order that the ends of justice may be
properly served. and if additional legisla-
ton is necessary to accomplish this that
our representatives be urged 10 have fbe
same enacted at the present session OF
the legislature.
venires from the court room benches
should be discontinued, as in many in
stances the same men have been serving
as jurors over and over again.
I'VE think the laws regarding drawing
of all jurors should be strictly complied
with in all courts and as far as practicable
juror whose name has not been regularly
drawn from the jury wheel.
Holly JarbOe Censured.
I'VE respectfully call your honor's at
tention to two executions which have
returned by ex-Deputy Marshal Holly Jar

Findley and Eva Findley as bondsmen;
case No. 1874, against William wilkerson;
Joseph Lorie and E. c. Findley as bonds
levy which. in our opinion. is grave neg
lect of duty.

Poor Farm Recommendations.
"In our examination of the poor farm
we find that the superintendent and his
help are efficient, and everything is in first
tions:
court that it put in new floors ard hall
ways of insane wards, as 1t is absolutely
necessary to flush these places in order to
keep them clean, and in doing so the water
runs through the different floors to the
basement, thereby causing dampness and
positive injury to the sanitary condition of
I'VE further recommend that a night
watchman be employed to protect the in
Stltution from nre, inert, ETC., and to per-
form other duties necessary as night
watchman.
I'VE further recommend that the honora
Bile county court appoint committee OF
physicians to visit the institution to deter
mine whether there fare any inmates who
are not entitled to- the charity of the
county.
The food furnished is clean. wholesome
and abundant.
Having examined the, county Jail at
Kansas City. we are glad to report that
we find il in excellent condition. the In
mates are well fed and taken care of that
their quarters are clean and in good con-
dttion, with the exception of the cooking
range in the kitchen. This range is worn
out and we recommend to the honorable
county court that 1t purchase a new and
larger one.
Hospital Ward in saiI.
I'VE also recommend to that honorable
body that they fit up the northeast room in
ing as a hospital ward for the iaiI that
the prisoners who are sick may have prop
er attention. This could be done by graf
ing the windows and the doors; otherwise
the room is in perfect condition for such
purpose.
Was in Session Four Weeks.
I'VE have been in session for four weeks:
$40 witnesses and issued warrants includ-
ing mileage, for $s51.50.
Respectfully submitted.
