Hot Grana Jury Report .

Tho grand jury of Jefferson County completed it's business today aud filed a final report to Judge, Greene. This report was sensational. The inquisi- torial body reported crime to be on the increase in this County and urged all law abiding citizens to keep. tho peace and the further recommendation is made that those in authority en- force the law, but at the same time be diligent in performing their respective duties, A report was made in regard to violations of law during the recent State fair held in Birmingham; On this subject the report says, Ut has been reported to this body that there was gambling of various kinds at the Alabama State Fair held in our Coup- ty, and while we are unable to attacn the crime to any one, we are sure tha, the law was fagrantly violated, and as the parties who operated those de- Vices and made and sold pools were transients, 1t is our. opinion that the officers of the law placed there to en- force the same, were very lax in re- gard to their duties, and we are una1l- nous in our condemnation of the same. Had they performed their duty accord ing to their oath of ofilce some Of those criminals would now be in the toll or the law, We, therefore, recommend that the next grand jury make thor, ough investigation" The County Jali and almshouse were reported In good condition.
