action they have chosen to take, as well
as to show the purpose they have thus
revealed.
These men knew there was no neecs-
sity for the calling Of special grand
jury and they were told so by the court,
but they were so eager to start their
plan Of preiudiciug the people and to
sow seeds OF discomfort against govern
ment that they could not refrain from
attempts to use the court for their pur-
pose. They knew well enough there was
nothing out Of the ordinary that de-
manded the attention of e.'al grand
jury, no murders, no riots, no proceed.
ing that must have immediate atten-
ton, unless it be their own miserable
attack upon free government, and that
was not what prompted them. They
asked only for a special grand inry on
the alleged ground that one or o men
had voted Illegally. They we bent on
trying to indict some one f. political
effect and not to correct any evil that
might exist. The court told them
plainly in passing on the petition, what

rides it may develop before the matter
ends that the attempted prosecution of
this man is the result of failure on the
part Of the Democratic politicians to
purchase his vote. There may be even
stronger reasons, even urgent reasons,
very much desired reasons on the part
of these Democrats, or some Of them Al
least, why this eolored man should be
gotten out of the way.

they set ont in their petition that they
were DESTROYS only OF taking up features
that would be, they hoped, political,
they found themselves without friend
at court, but not that the court would
not take extraordinary measures to
meet extraordinary occasions. Follow
ing the action Of the court on the petit
ton, they again show their utter con-
tempt of court and law by resorting to
newspaper, hostile to anything,
whether it be law or not. that does not
come under its dictates. In that paper
they proceed to publish afiidavits, de-
signed to reflect upon the court and its
officers, especially the grand jury and
the sheriff and his deputies. They set
up case, which is pronounced by grand
jurors as entirely different from taat
they laid before the grand jury, and
these grand jurors have just as good a
reputation for truth and. veracity as
they have.
The fact that they proceed to get up
chain of aniuavits all on the same sub
jet is sufficient evidence that a con-
spiracy had been formed for the purpose
of working the grand jury to accom-
plish their ends. The manner in which
they hung around the grand jury room
in punches until they succeeded in gett-
ing in, and also the manner in which
they waited to hear the grand jury's
report, and also the bitter disappoint-
ment they felt, when they learned they
had failed TO make a tool Of that body
of men. numbering sixteen, and sworn
10 do their duty, all constitute chain
Of evidence Of the fact that they had
gotten their heads together for the pur-
pore Of using the courts of this county
to further their own political ambition.

They have pursued course that GER
tainly appeals to the people as demand
ing the attention OF a grand jury,
whether it be special or regular.
In reference to the allidayits they pub.
iish, may we not call attention to the
fact that at the instance of one of that
gang and one of its leaders at that a
man, who had perfect right to vote
his name was James Gabbert-was ar
rested and taken before magistrate be-
cause he went to vote and was challeng-
ed. This man would DO the proper thing
to bring a damage suit for false arrest.
/ Also in the matter of man named
George Gabbert, who u charged with
voting here, it is but proper to say they
want to prosecute him because his name
is such. Some one else says man by
the same name voted at Salem. If that
Is evidence that warrants an indictment,
why is DR.. j. b. Smith not under indict.
mentH If he voted at all, it must have
been in the third ward of this city, and
yet J. B. Smith voted in the fifth ward,
and ]. B. Smith voted in another ward
or two of the city. The same is true
with other persons.

There is no case there. There was moth.

the clarksburg Gabbert for the reason

bert voted here. Charles A. Horror
swears to the same thing, but neither
of them pretends to tell the grand jury
that George Gabbert did not have a
right TO vote here. R, L. Towles shows
by his testimony that a man named
George Gabbert voted in Salem, but he
does not say that man was an illegal
voter. Now that is the Gabbert case,
and it is up to them to tell which Cab.
bert they wanted the grand jury to in
diet and for whatf If they wanted any
old fellow named Gabbert indicted, then
they should have shown the grand jury
that the man they wanted indicted was
guilty. Under such circumstances and
such evidence, as. we said before, there
is no reason why DR.. J. B. Smith should
not be indicted, since ]. B. Smith voted
in another ward than that in which DR..
]. b. Smith lives.
In the case Of the colored fellow, the
afIidayits themselves show that there
was not sufficient evidence to warrant
the grand jury in returning an indict.
