years of age who is serving an eighteen
month term in the count, Jail for the larceay
of Mr. Patrick o Murpby's saddle, made an
attempt to hang himself 10 his cell on Sunday
evening last but was prevented from accom-
plishing his desired end by some Of his fellow
prisoners those cells communicated with his.
He took large cord string that he found 10
his cage, tied one end to an iron bar that
crossed the top of the cell aud made slip
knot in the other, put the slip around his
neck and then made leap from his couch
The instant he jumped from the couch, one OF
the other prisoners came to his rescue and
liberated him from the stranginE position.
Travers feet though were touching the floor
and he was conscious when The cord was
loosened from his neck II is thought that
he had no intention in reality of taking his
life, but that he did it mere to create excite
ment among his fellow prisoners, lie has
been threatening his life, however, for some
time and he still claims that be is going to
put an end to his life before long, The Jailer

COMMUNICATED

That GREAT GRAND JURY S REPORT.
To Ny Friends and The Public Generaliy:-l
wish to call attention to the report with re-
ference to the Sheriffs office and county Jail.
First they say they examined Al witnesses
found 10 presentments anil 10 true bills That
body was in session three days, fact they
did not mention in their report as is custom
AIRY 10 making such reports and Furthermore
it is the shortest time on record in the Courts
of this county. Fhey claimed and received
pay, however, for four days. But as they or
ganized on Monday morning and adjourned
at an early hour that day out of respect to
the late Hon. r b. Edelen, they did not ex-
anime a single witness on that day. Hence
only three days of about five or six hours per
day was spent in examining those Al witnesses,
and every one of them were summoned after
Cour. convened, a fact unknown to my Deputy
who has served ia that capacity for three wears.
Secondly, the Jail, how ataut that Institution
and its Humble Keeper? That Grand Body
first business day to examine same, preced-
ence unknown to the keeper who has served
in that position for seven long years. Their
report as to the examir alton of jail was fair
and truthful, but with reference to complaint
of Tailor not being at his post ofduty has
never come to my attention and think any
fair minded man would have first called my
attention to the matter if such charge vas
true but grayely doubt the correctness of
the report remember of one occasion only
of the States Attorney calling my attention
to the fact Of some one bringing party to
all at late hour at night when the Jailor
was not there promptly Investigated the
matter and found that the Tailor was on that
occasion at the bed side of a sick and dutiful
wife. To those who know me hest need not
explain but to those who know me only at
sight desire to state in fairness and justice
to the accused that had he not promptly
responded to such christian and dutiful call
I would have been inclined to have removed
him from the position which he so faithfully and
politely fills under my official charge. trust
this will throw an honest light upon that IN
fair and uncalled for report
remian your humble and faithful servant,
