THE CONSTABLE MURDER

ELKToN, Sept. 29th-After three-days
investigation in the Constable murder
case, the Cecil county grand jury failed
to indict the negro suspects, William
Hops and John Holland, held in Elk
ton jail as the parties who shot down and
robbed the late Albert Constable.
The evidence presented before the
grand jury was purely circumstantial, and
after the most careful investigation it was
concluded that the state did not have
sufficient evidence to find an Indictment.
At2 o'clock the grand jury came in court
and presented its report. 1t was recon-
mended, however, that the negroes be
Ii ID for the action of the December grand
jury, when tile state may be able to secnre
enough evidence by that time to indict
tile accused.
The present session Of the grand jury
was the longest held for several years.
Between and 8 o'clock this afternoon
thes resolutions adopted by the Cecil
county bar in reference to Mr.. Constable
were presented to the court by William
$. Exams, chairman OF the committee.
Short addresses were delivered by Messrs.
Austin T. Crothers, William I. Warbur-
ton, George A. Blake and Joshua Clayton.
