REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.


To TIE Hon. JUDGE JAMES d. WATERS:
After careful investigation of all
evidence that has been brought before
the Grand Jury of the February term of
Court 1903, we have found eleven true
indictments. We have dismissed ten
charges for lack Of sufficient and trust
worthy testimony. We have examined
sixty-tve witnesses and gave q patient
hearing to all end every witness that
was summoned before us, and it is our
unanimous opinion that a longer period
of the jury is unnecessary and therefore
ask for your Honor's discharge.
We would further state that a conf
mittee was appointed to visit the Aims
house, who reported through their chair
man, MIR. Benjamin G. Rees, that all
buildings were inexcellent condition, and
the only building needed was a wagon
shed, for the storage of some wagons
and farming implements, to protect them
from the weather.
They found confined twenty-four i'll

white females, two colored males and five

in all these other things. For amuse-
