Mr.. J. 7.
BATS TALKS.
Member of Grand Jury Says He
Didn't Visit Work House.
Some Went to Poor House, and
Some to Work Houses.
House Also in Bad Oondi-
ton.

In regard to the statement that tn,
grand jury of Maury county, in it,
recent report, reported the count,
work house I'm good shape" a Herald
representative last Saturday called or
Mr. J. T. Bats, who was a member
of the grand jury. and asked him fol
statement in reference to the matter.
II did not visit the work house about
which so much has been printed in the
last day or two" said Mr. Bats.
the various county institutions were
being arranged, was divided. and
three or four of the jurymen went to
one work house, three or four to the
other and others to the poor house,
etc. | opposed this division of the
jury at the time, and commended that
it ought to visit every institution in
a body. / was defeated in my con-
tention, however, and with two or
three other members was selected to
visit the county poor house and the
work house in the lower end of the
county. That work house was in
reasonably fair condition, except that
the table on which the prisoners had
to eat was not what it should have
been, and insisted that we would re-
commend in our report that better ac-
commodations along this line be pro-
vided. We found the county poor
house in such bad condition that
l think the County Court ought to
take steps to investigate it. The re-
port of the grand jury as to the condi-
ton of the poor house does not voice
my sentiments at all. andI signed it
under protest. and so told the other
members of the jury.
"As to the condition of the central
work house, or the one about which
the trouble has arisen. can only say
that I knew nothing of its condition
but think, along with all other good
citizens, that ii the conditions prevail
there as charged by the guards and
others IN the report of the county court
something. ought to be
done. To have such condition of |
affairs existing, If they do exist, in
the proud county of Maury would be
a reproach and disgrace. !"
