between you and them. Why:
Because you willdeprlveyoursel1
ofa privilege ofwhich many grand
jurors will not deny themselves.
OF course all of them swear they
will disclose nothing. but all OF
them do not keep that oath. From
this grand jury, as from allin the
past, you could find out about
whatever you wanted to know.
But few hours had passed after
Gy,appearance before that body
Before SOMEONE walked up and
begun to tell me'what | had said
within the grand jury room. One
of our ev-sheriff's said hehad dis
closures,along the sameline. And
vet grand jury vii raise cane
jfyou intimate to it that the oath
of ofsecrecy will not be kept.
1T is not settled that the county
will let t,out the convicts. I un-
derstand that Ira G. olloway
wants the county to keep them
and he will furnish them work.
Possioly'the Board knows wheth-
er money has been made from
them this year. The public does
not know. If money has been
made this year under the pres
entsystem, you cannot therefore
say money would be made by so
working them next year: for the
present guard will resign after
the fist. He seems to be pecu-
liarly fitted for that place. Many
others might undertake the job
and lose money for the county.
1T was advertised that the
Board would receive at its last
meeting bids for working thee
victs for the ensuing year. Ea-
ley Shannon, present guard. bid
Is cents per day for each convict.
The Board rejected the bid and
ordered that bids would be re-
coived at thenextmeeting. While
Mr.. Shannon's bid was not con-
sidered low, yet the Board
thought that at the next term a
higher bud would be received.
Mr.. Withers had been informed
that j. D. Fulmer intended to
present a bid.
The Louis Norvel case came up
for a hearing on anapplicationfor
a change of venue. The0request
was overruled and the case was
continued until next term. The
continuance was bad for the de-
fendant because he will have to
stay in Jail untilnext May and bad
forsthe state because costs will
grow. Unless the prosecution Sc
cures more evidence he will GER
tainly be acquitted.
The ignorance of some people
is dis disgusting. r. l.. Dabney
is being censured for defending
Dick Weber, the convicted rapist. |
Weber had no lawyer and had no |
means with which to hire one. It |
was then tee Courts duty to APP |

was appointed and he didhis duty |
