the indictment against him may be kept
secret until the officers have him safely
arrested. Bat when he is arrested the
indictment Is read to him, and the court
asks II he is guilty or not guilty. II he
answers not guilty, then the county at
torney must try to make good the charges
against the efforts Of the acoused's coun-
sci. The trial takes place before a petit
jury OF twelve men, and each one of them
must be convinced after hearing both
sides. Thus the county attorney has a
very different task from what he had be-

Node Of Procedure in Criminal
Cases.

The eyes OF the Cumberland county
nnblio have bsen fixed so inrently on
ihe sheriff's Office, and upon the sayings

Very Important officials are ths coun ty
attorney and his assistant. Upon them
deyolve all the prosecutions, both IN
nouor cases and In all other cases, and
upon their vigilance, fidelity and discre-
ton depend the dignity, efficiency and
strength with which the law Is upheld.
The legislature, IN consideration OF the
Importance OF the Office OF county attor-
ney. hos fixed the salary at $500 a year.
and Of the assistant at $500 year. AS
Zach may carry on at the same time
portion at least OF his own practice, these
