In his charge to the grand jury Judge Duncan
said in part
cially bring to your attention at this time ex-
cept that you should appointa committee TO ex-
anime the Treasurer's books, and you should
look into the condition of the county JAIL
But as this is my first charge to grand jury,
take this opportunity of telling you that there
is but one kind of retail liquor license for this
Sunday, to Minors to drunkards, on election
days or within certain prescribed hours and any
person having license who violates this law
does so at his peril.
Another thing of great Importance of recent
date is the introduction into our county OF
gambling device known as the slot machine.
regard it as the most pernicious form of gam
bling ever brought to my attention, because 1t is
an open invitation to boys to gamble, on account
of the small amount wagered. 1t is your duty,
gentlemen, to see that the license ana gambling
laws are not violated. You have no right under
the law to excuse lawlessness any more than
have officials whose duty it is to see that the
law is enforced, for nothing is more certain than
that lawlessness begets lawlessness, and If sufi-
Gent evidence is brought before you to convict,
you should find presentment and return it to
"And 1 desire to say now, by way of parenthe-
sis, that after this date any person convicted OF
keeping slot machine will be severely punished.
and, further, that any person making applfca-
ton for liquor license after this date, in case
of a protest, will not be granted u license if it
appears that he has maintained slot machine"
Judge Duncan subsequently addressed the
members Of the petit Jury, saying; than +ho.o
of the grand Jury. Your verdicts will determine
questions of property, and in criminal cases,
where you are judges OF the law, as well as the
evidence, the liberty. and sometimes the lives of
the citizens are in your hands. You should not
allow anyone to speak to you about cases that
may be tried, nor should you speak to anyone
not of your number about them"
