Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1907-03-22
Circuit Court.

Judge Henderson, in his charge to the
grand jury, at the opening of the March
Term of the Circuit Court for this county
here last Monday, directed attention to the
recent murder of Mrs. Mary Lang at her
home near Wheaton. He referred to the
crime as one of peculiar horror, and ex-
pressed the hope that for the sake of hu.
manity and the county the investigation
would disclose the fact that the perpetrator
was mentally irresponsible at the time il
was committed. Judge Henderson stated
however, that the grand jury has nothing
to do with the mental phase of the case, as
that would be considered by another trbu
nal AS required by law, Judge Hendef-
soa aloo called attention 10 the laws con-
corning abortion and the defalcation of pub
lie officers He cautioned the members to
observe strictly their oath in regard to keep
ing secret what transpires In the jury room,
and urged them to set an example in indus
try, diligence and expedition to the people
of the county.
