Grand Jury Report

Following is the report of the grand
jury:
To the Honorable District Court of the
Fourth Judicial District of the State
of Nevada:
We, your grand jury, beg leave to re-
port that we have had presented for
IL consideration two felony charges,
towit:::
One for grand larceny and one for
housebreaking, and we found II true
bill in each case.
1t coming to the knowledge of the
grand jury that Il William McKinscy
purchased stolen property in Carlin,
and not only refused to give Officer
Happier any information in regard to
it, but deliberately lied to the officer
obout buying the propercy, the grand
jury came to the conclusion that while
Mr.. McKinsey may not have intended
to act criminally yet, in effect, he had
committed Il grave offcnsc and should
be reprimanded to the end that Others
so inclined should have warning. Mr..
McKinsey was then called before the
grand jury and rcprimandcd by the
district attorney in the presence of the
grand jury.
1t appeared further to the grand jury
that much effective work toward stop.
ping the looting of propcoty could he
accomplished by the peace officers OF
this county, If they would bring before
the grand jury not only the actual
thieves, but also the receivers of the
stolen property, that indictment might
he brought against them.
1t would seem to the grand jury that
this would strike Mt the root of the evil
Respectfully submitted,
