Grand Jury's Report
10 THE HONORABLE FRANK W. PARKER.
PRESIDING JUDGE THIRD JUDICIAL.
DISTRICT.


We: the Grand Jury, duly empaneled
in and for the County Of Luna for the
November term, have investigated and
examined all the matters brought be.
fore us and have found true bills where.
in our judgment, we felt that convic.
tions could be found in the District
Court.
In other matters where, in our judg.
ment, there was not sufficient evidence
to convict, we refused to indict.
We also recommend and suggest to
our peace officers and Justice of the
Peace that in matters of minor cr,mi-
nails, that they be taken care Of in the
Justice Office, especially whore there
is not enough cyidcuce to convict in the
higher court, and by doing this there
will be large saving to our county.
Committees were appointed to exam
Inc the various County offices. Their
reports are attached to and made a
part Of this report We thank the lIoa.
orable Court and District Attorney for
cour,esies received.
Having no more business, we respect.
fully asked to be discharged.
