REPORTS OF GRAND JURY
Statement Submitted For Sep
tember Court Term.

To the Honorable Circuit Court:
We, the grand jury duly empanelled
for the September, 1904 term of the
above entitled court, respectfully sub
nit this as the report of our official
action:
We have diligently inquired into
all alleged crimes that have been
brought to our attention and have re-
turned true bills in all cases where
we felt that the evidence justified and
have declined TO indiot in all Others
We have diligently inquired into
the murder of Florence Chaplin or
Mrs Wells, whichever her true name
may be and have been unable to find
sufficient evidence to warrant us in
returning an indictment against any
one for that crime We respectfully
suggest that the seriousness of the
crime deserves the strong support OF
the state officers by the county court
in the matter of the apprehension Of
the guilty party.
We have examined the county pool
house and have visited and converset
with the inmates thereof and we finC
the place neatly kept ard the inmateI
thereof neat and generally satisfied
We suggest however, that the water
supply is not good, the only supply
being surface water which is muddy
and really unfit for use,
The limited time at our disposa
has prevented us from making an
expert examination Of the records anC
files Of the various county officials
but the inspection which we hav,
been enabled to make Justifies us il
reporting that we find the record
neatly kept and in good order ant
We have found all OF the count,
officials courteous and obliging. w
have examined the county Jail ant
report that its sanitary conditions ar
mot the best. This could be partl,
remedied by a new floor. We woul,
also suggest that because Of the con
struction Of the Jail and its genera
condition, it is liable to be consume,
by fire and so long as it remains in it
present condition, some one ough
to sleep there Of nights while pris
oners are confined therein.

Tom Duffy Found in an En-
berrassing Situation.

Tom Duffy, recently employed at the
Condor dam at Gold Ray was arrested
Friday night for attempted burglary
and is now detained in the county
Jail waiting the next term of court.
]. W. Baker, VIM. Stovall and Mr..
Woodson were going home from the
laundry late Friday evening when
they saw the feet of man protruding
from the side door Of Harth's clothing
store, said members occupying the
vacancy where pane of glass should
have been. The feet were in egress
and were followed by the legs and
body of man who crawled out upon
the sidewalk. In answer to question
ing as to what he was doing there,
the man said he was hunting place
to sleep.
The four men walked together as
far as the ST. eet corner, when the in
truder in the store started up Sixth
street. Mr.. Baker signalled the
others to keep him in sight and started
to find the marshal. At the Layton
he found Ex-Marshal McGrew, who
went with him and arrested the man
near the Union restaurant alley.
In the examination before Justice
Furman on Saturday, Baker and
Woodson positively identified Duffy
as the man whom they saw crawling
out Of the store. Stovall was not so
sure, saying that he could not see
we'll after night, Duffy claimed alb
solute ignorance of the entire trans
action and sought to prove an alibi by
the proprietor of the Oregon saloon
and another man who saw him there,
but this evidence failed to locate
Duffy at the time the burglarious at
tempt was committed. He con-
fessed to having been very drunk and
was unable to give a clear account of
his movements
Several who saw Duffy on the even
ing in question, think that he was
Loiug used in his drunken condition
as a tool for others and that the more
culpable parties made their escape.
Duffy had nothing on his person to
incriminate him and it was not found
that anything was missing from the
store. The glass pane of the door had
evidently been broken and pushed in
from the outside.
