Condemns Sunday Golf.
Judge Greene took occasion to deliver
an address to the members of the grand
jury in the course of which he touched
upon some subjects that have created
much comment among clubmen in the
city. Judge Greene said it was as much
a violation of the law to play golf on
Sunday at Lakeview as to play base
ball at the foot of Mount Stag or to sell
whisky over a bar He said the duty
of the grand jury to investigate this
question of Sunday law, and if they
found that if any of Its provisions were
turn indictments.
The concealed weapon, particularly the
pistol was again condemned and the
practice of carrying them denounced. mo
person carries pistol" said the judge,
"unless there is in his mind a vague in
tent to take human life." He proceeded to
show how useless is a pistol for self
protection and referred to instances where
citizens, and even deputies, had been re-
lieyed of their pistols by highwaymen.
High Speeding Automobiles.
High speeding automobiles came in for
their share of attention and the jury was
instructed to examine closely into any
dCClQtllS " CillZtIlS WlilCu ItSullcu llOHi
such causes.
In speaking of the increase of crime
Judge Greene quoted figures to show the
number of cases on the docket at present.
He said the last term of the court con-
cluded with eighty-two capital cases on
the docket, and with a prospect of an
other score being added. In January
there were 1850 on the docket of which
$50 had been finally disposed There are
now approximately. 200 cases awaiting
trial.
1.-THE condition of the Jail should be
examined" said the judge, land If any
fault is found it should be fearlessly ex-
posed" The grand jury was also instruct
ed to examine the bonds of county Off
Gals and also the bonds executed in fell
ony and misdemeanor cases. In conclu-
sion Judge Greene instructed the jury to
observe caution in accepting only legal
evidence so as to avoid the expense of
futile prosecutions and the humiliation OF
the parties indicted.

The other laughed, Initiating his

his muscles restlessly, as though an
excess of vigor filled him.
