]. G. T.. HARRIS,
County Attorney.

And so the men who came into Raj
eigh, committed two assaults in single
night, broke the law and disturbed the
peace of the commonwealth find safe
refuge from the justice of the State in
an institution kept up by the public
taxes.
According to his own statement Ray
knew them for unmitigated scoundrels
and it was his highest duty to turn them
over to the officers of the law without
hesitation. Instead of that he chose to
make the institution over which he pre-
sides cover for crime and a shelter
for criminals who would escape the con-
sequences of their villainy.
Time and again public attention has
been called to the escapes that have
been winked at by this curator who
seems to play Damon to the Pythias of
the criminal in his keeping. 1t has been
but a short time since it was noted that
Ray permitted one of the convicts in his
charge, serving sentence for a high crime,
ia spend Sundays in the bosom Of his
family, returning in leisurely state ON
Mondays.
Mr.. Ray even extends his loving care
and paternal solicitude to the politics of
the men in his employ. He has stated
publicly it is understood, that no man
shall stay in the service Of the work
house unless he votes the fusion ticket.
He also stated, with great pomposity,
that every voting pauper In the work
house shall vote the fusion ticket and
that nobody shall discuss any other than
fusion politics with them. Evidently
Mr. Ray is feeling his official oats quite
strongly.
For the benefit of Ray it should be said
that the day of barons has not yet come
in this commonwealth. He had been gull
ty of numebr of escapes; the people
have borne with it patiently. He has
reached the end of his tetner. Decencv
Iforbearance, patience and the law have
had quite enough Of Mr.. Rays capers. If
he wishes to escape the attentions of the
grand jury of Wake county he will keep
the criminals committed to his care as
the law intends that they shall be kept:
he will cease to send them out with
unlimited opportunities to maraud on the
public and then seek shelter under the
institution that suffers the misfortune
and disgrace to be superintendent by Mr..
G. b. Ray. If Mr.. G. 3. Ray has any
small glmmerings Of discretion he will
backpedal.

Dear Sir:-Mr. G. B. Ray, Superinten-

for the production of two men now in
the work-house under sentence, to- be
brought before you for trial on some
criminal charge. Mr.. Ray cannot comply
with your request. The only way these
men can be gotten out of the work-house
is by writ of habeas corpus and this
process does not issue in cases of this
character. If it was desired that these
men should be used as witnesses, there is
authority for the writ to issue for this
purpose and not otherwise. | have
therefore instructed Mr.. Ray as herein
