GRAND JURY REPORT.
Thursday morning the grand jury
finished its labors and submitted the
following report, after which the
jury was discharged from further
service:
OAKLAND, Md, March %, 1900.
To the Honorable the Judges of the
Circuit Court for Garrett County,:
The Grand Jury for the March term
of said court, having completed
it's labors, makes the following report
and requests TO be discharged.
We have carefully investigated all
violations of the law that have been
brought to our attention, and in do
ing so we have examined seventy
witnesses, finding seventeen present.
ments and eighteen true bills of
indictment.
We have ignored all cases of a triy-
ial nature and in which we believed
that the public interest would not be
subserved by bringing the same to
the attention of your Honorable
Court, and have found presentments
and true bills of Indictment against
all parties charged with violations of
the law wherein we believed that the
nature of the case and the facts pre-
sented to us warranted the same.
We have examined the public
buildings and find them in as good
condition as their character will ad-
nit of. The sanitary condition of the
Jail, so far as orr observation extern
ded, we found good, and the prison
er's quarters were found clean and
comfortable.
Our attention has been called to the
fact that a couple of prisoners recent
ly escaped from the jail, and upon
investigation we found that the es-
cape occurred about half past eight
O'Clock p. IN. We feel that the Sheriff
was somewhat negligent in allowing
the prisoners to remain it the corri-
dors of the Jail so late in the evening.
We should recommend that the
Sheriff in the future lock the prison
ers in their cells Immediately after
nightfall.
We desire to extend to the Court
and to the county officials our thanks
for the uniform kindness shown us
during our labors.
Respectfully submitted,
CHAS. E. HILLEARY, Foreman.
