The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-05-17

The grand jury came into court yes
terday afternoon and through its fore
man, Alfred Harvey, made its final re-
turn to the court and was discharged.
In the absence of Judge r. w. Arch
bald, who charged the grand jury, the
report was received by Judge II. NJ.
Edwards. He made no conment on
the work of the jury, merely thanking
the members in the usual manner for
their services for the county.
In the liquor cases passed upon there
was only one instigated by the cru
saders. That was against Mrs Jennie
Duffy, of Bridge street, who is charged
with selling without a license. County
Detective Leyshon is the prosecutor.
A true bill was returned. The other
liuuor cases are the ordinary run that
come before every grand jury.
In it's report the jurors recommended
a few minor changes at the county
prison and court house. The report
then went on to say:
The large number of ignored bills in which
costs were placed on the county in some cases,
is due to detective transcripts sent in by alder
men and justices Of the peace. These officers
deserve censure for making the county liable for
defects are not the result Of ignorance or care
lessness.
Resolved, That our thanks are due to District
Attorney John r. Jones for the great care mani
tested in the preparation of bills Of indictment,
the fair and impartial manner in which he has
performed his official duties and for the great
executive ability he has exhibited in the prompt
dispatch Of the public business lie has reduced
the great bulk of business in his office to a
most commendabe system. Assisted by his able
and courteous deputy, W. Gaylord Thomas, and
his competent detective, the district attorneys
Office of this commonwealth is a model for the
commonwealth. Mr. Jones is an honest, capable
and worthy officer, and it gives us great pleasure
TO acknowledge in this public way his merit,
honesty and integrity and to have this resolution
transcribed upon the minutes of our court.
