We have examined 1859 witnesses and have

of many OF the cases that came before US
necessitated careful investigation.
We visited the Jail and found the build.
ing and grounds clean and In as good sanl-
tary condition as 30 old building could
well be Kept. But we consider the building
as unsuited to modern sanitary ideas. At
the time of our visit there were 81 inmates
Q white males and 10 colored males.
A committee Of our body visited the Aims
House and found 81 inmates--13 white
males, 4 white females, negro males, 3

l boar, 8 shoats, pigs, 630 bushels OF wheat,
$50 barrels OF corn, and 30 tons Of hay.
After inspecting the Court House, We
recommend that more seats be placed 10
the corridor for the comfort oil witnesses
summoned before the Grand Jury, and that
the Petit Jury room be repaired, and we
further recommend that closet for the use
of women be put In the Court House, the

TO the attention of the Grand Jury, we re.
specially ask To be discharged.

An Amusing Case The emotion

An Amusing Case The emotions Of
an audience listening to the trials of Grim.
inal docket before court suddenly change.
That Of dread from the oft repeated terms Of
murder and seduction from the path Of
virtue in an assault case Just finished TO the
excitement Of the disabilities by the artful-
ness of negro boy charged by the State
with stealing coat now on trial. The emo
ton Of laughter was aroused in the case of
the State OF Maryland vs.. Eddie Waits,
charged with stealing a coat from Col. VIM.
Kilgour, of this town, and tried In the Circuit
Court here on Tuesday last. The Colonel
was the only witness and his evidence ran
thus:
Last August he employed Eddie Waits, a
ragged and unclean boy, to do some outside
work around his home, for which Waits was
given some clothing and pair of shoes, be.
sides his wages. Eddie was engaged to come
back the next day to do some whitewashing
for the Colonel.
"Come early" said the Colonel.
Eyes, sir" replied Eddie, am have to
come early, as l expect telegram in the
course Of the day"
Eddie did not put In his appearance at
the appointed time. A few days later the
Colonel was working in his garden with
bis coat hanging on the fence hidden from
hia sight by the intervening dwelling. Along
came negro boy, of whom the Colonel in
quired:
"Do you know Eddie Watts ?" the Colo
mel installing the name.
mo, sir" answered the boy. "Where
does he liver"
Ground in Monkey Run" said the
Colonel.
"You mean Eddie Waits" said the boy.
"Yes, that's the boy" said the Colonel
II engaged him to do some whitewashing
for me-"
"He's no account you can't rely on him."
said Waits, for 1t was none other than he,
disguised In the Colonies gift Of clothing,
''playing" him upon his blind side. He
sauntered off, yet unknown to the Colonel.
The Oolonel's work finished, he started to
get his coat. II was missing. Search was
instituted with the aid of Town Sergeant
Green, who, with the instinct Of Sherlock
Holmes, repaired to the Woodlawn Hotel,
where Eddie Waits was employed as q
waiter. In short, the coat was found In his
possession. His capture started recount
Of his exploits in criminal life and imprison-
ment. One of his petty thelts was recalled,
that he stole dozen chickens at night from
a gentleman, after working for him day,
dressed and sold them TO the gentleman's
mother in-law.
The scene changed. The Court seriously |
inquired of Eddie Waits II he had any reason |
10 give why sentence should not be passed |
upon him. His counsel asked considera-
lion for his age.
"How old is he asked the Judge.
Eighteen years." replied the counsel.
"Just old enough to be sent to the House
Of Correction" said the Judge, and he was
to that institution for three years,
and warned that If he came before the Court
again he would get ten years. Waits pranky
wore another cast and with II
be was marched back to Jail.
