REPORT OF GRAND JURY.
To the Honorable Judges of The Circuit
Court for Prince Georges County, Nd.
The Grand Jurors for the April term
of this county for the year 1908 beg
leave to submit the following report.
The Grand Jurors have been in SEES
sion nine days and have examined Al
cases, 1O7 witnesses, made "a present
meuts and found "a true bills.
Several cases were submitted for our
consideration, but the evidence either
did not justify presentment or he ma
ture of the charge was so trivial as not
to warrant US to present.
We examined number Of witnesses
whose names had been requested as
persons likely to know of the violations
of the Sunday liquor law, but in some
cases it was impossible to obtain any
evidence against them, although most
of them believed that the saloon keepers
were violating the Sunday law. But
we believe those whom we have pre-
SGut6u Will U6 COu NiCtco I'll GuG GfluCuCS
given to the jury.
The jury in body visited the Jail
and found 13 persons therein confincc
a white males and nine colored males
We found the Jail in as good cord
ton as could be expected under the Cir
cumstances, as the roof of the Jail is in
a deplorable condition, and the ceilings
of the second story are also in bad
condition. The jury believed that the
same is not safe for the protection of
the county and State. The jury recon-
mended that the ceilings in the second
story should be made of concrete re-
inforced In steel, which would be fire
proof and protection to state and coun
ty and would last ndef tely. We al$ Q
recommend that all raiu water running
from roof Of Jail should be connected
to the traps which we believe will abate
the nuisance which we found in the
trap by not having sufficient water to
flush the sewer. We also recommend
that some good disinfectant should be
used daily in the trap and also in the
buckets. By doing this it will keep
them in sanitary condition. We also
recommend that twelve inch sewer pile
be substituted for the present ones
which we consider totally inadequate
Also recommend that prisoners connled
in the county Jail be required to battle
at least once week and that proper
facilities for same be furnished by tt e
county. We think that the warden to
the Jail is doing everything in his power
to keep the Jail in sanitary
condition.
We heartily endorse the recommend
alton to the court that hereafter all of
the constables shall appear before the
Grand Jury on the 4th day after they
are in session, as we have found that
they have retarded business to great
extent by coming so irregular, and
furthermore it will save the county
fees. And at the same time giving 9th
ers opportunity to come before the
Grand Jury the first three days they
are summoned.
The report of the committee to visit
the Aims House is here attached. We
also commend the Honrable Judges of
Prince Georges County for improve
ment made in the Court House in the
way of railing, seats, mating, as 1t
generally adds to the appearance of the
hu lding.
.rhe thanks Of our judges and our
State Attorney for the assistance they
have given US in performing many du-
ties which have been before US, have
been appreciated by the Jurors; also
Sheriff and his deputies, and also our
courteous door keeper.
Having finished all business called
to our attention in a satisfactory man
ner satisfactory, we hope TO Court, and
also to the good people Of our Count
and State we ask to be discharged.
VIM. P. MAGRUDDR,
Foreman.
