The Grand Jury made the following
report yesterday and was discharged,
To the Honorable Circuit Court of Prince
Georges County Muyland.
The Grand Jury for the October term
of the Circuit Court respectfully reports
that during its session of 10 days it has
examined 10 witnesses made % present
ments and found % true bills.
We have visited the Jail and found
% prisoners of whom are female (white)
male (white) female (colored) and 10
male (colored). We found the building
on the inside to be in good condition,
cells clean, bedding and sanitary condi-
that iron bedsteads be placed in many of
the cells. We believe it would be q
saving financially because the acids in the
lime on the floors eats the mattresses. On
the outside we find the building and sur
roundings in good condition except the
fencing and the sanitary conditions.
We recommend that the fencing be re-
paired. In regard to the sanitary condi- |
lions we found number of pits dug in
the ground where the garbage and offals
have been deposited and covered over
With earth. We recommend that a cess
pool te built in which to deposit all gar
bags and offals, and a contract be made
to remove said garbage and offals when
ever it be necessary.
The special matter called to the atten
ton of the Grand Jury by the court We
have closely Investigated, and in the case
of the wheel of fortune run on the Fair
Association grounds, we have been una
BILE to find any evidence sufficient to war
1aut any Indictment
The officers of the Court, especially the
States Attorney, having given US able
assistance in the performance of our
duty, for which we wish to express our
thanks Our bailiff has also discharged
his duties faithfully and courteously.
The Committee on the Aims House has
made thorough examination and their
report, herewith attached, is approved.
And now, if your Honor pleases, we
have completed our work and most re
spectfully ask to be discharged.
