 1T will say to you further gentlemen. of the violation of all prohibition laws. that you are charged to give a thor ough investigation, for we must. and will, make an honest and determined effort to enforce these laws that the Legislature in their wisdom have put in our statutes. The evils of blind ti- gers and other illicit sales of spiritu- ous. vinous or malt liquors are far reaching. Do your best to put down this evil in all classes and If the evi- dence should show that there is con- spiracy on the part of more than one man to carry on such Illicit sales, fol- low the same to It's fountain head ana strike at it there. Let those engaged in the whiskey business who are ais. posed to violate the law understand that the law-abidins element repre- serlted and protected in the grand Jury of this county, intend to insist on the enofrcement of these laws ana that there will be no countenancins oy une citizenship of this county, of any ols- crediting of the statutes, no wink'ns at violations of any laws, and tnat no statute may be overrun by any iaw- breaking citizen or citizens.
 q especially call your attention Fur ther to a strict enforcement or the oio and the new statutes governing ana regulating the carrying of conceaied weapons and the sales, exposing Tor sale and carrying of certain designed weapons or pistols of less than the pre- scribed dimensions as indicated In the statute. There are no exceptions in the law and I charge that you espe- cially indict all those who you mo from the evidence disregard and vio- late such statutes. for if the law gov erning the carrying of weapons be strictly enforced, it would go far to- ward controlling the lawless element of this county and the prevention of the occurrence of crimes of violence V
