GRAND JuRY's FINAL REPORT.
Territorial Body Submits Findings
and is Finally Excused by Judge
Pope.


Pope.
The Territorial grand jury reported
eight more true bills and one mo"
bill at four O'Clock Tuesday afternoon
and then after filing its final report,
was discharged. Following is the fin
al report:
District Court, Chaves County, Terri
tory of New Mexico.
To the Honorable william H. Pope,

Sir We, the members of the Ter

ty, beg cave to report as follows:
That we have been in session eight
days, and have examined into twenty
seven 0e7) alleged violations against
the laws of the Territory of New
Mexico, and have returned sixteen
O6) true bills, and in eleven I'D
cases have failed to find evidence suf-
also made examinations along the
lines suggested in your charge to us,
which suggestions comprised seven
heads. and have been unable to find
anything warranting a true bill.
We nav by a committee from our
body examined into the condition of
the Jail and the affairs of the various
county offices, and from the limited
have found so far as our Investigation
went, that the affairs of these institu-
lions are in satisfactory condition.
We noted that a number of Jail win
dows were broken, having been lone
apparently by inmates IF the jail. 1t
has been brought to our notice tina
prisoners very frequently hollow and
engage in loud, boisterous and pro-
fame talking at pedestrians on Fourth
street and Pecos avenue. This has
been of frequent occurrence, so much
SO that those living in and those do
ing business in the immediate vicini-
ty, have asked for relief.
We congratulate the county that
there has been no greater amount of
violations of the law worthy to be
brought to our attention, and thank
you and the court officials with whom
we have come in contact for their
uniform courtesy and attention to
duty.
Having no further business to come
before our body, we respectfully ask
the court that we may be discharged
for the term. Respectfully submitted.
