Matters and the Examination
of A Witnesses.

The grand jury of the May term of
the circuit court presented its report
this afternoon, returning Is true bills.
This is the smallest number of bills re-
turned in many terms. The small num-
Der of bills is due somewhat to the
fact that a large number of prisoners
who were bound over entered pleas of
guilty in the county court. The true
bills returned were suppressed by
Judge w. III. Gest until he has an OPP
portunity to examine them and fix the
amount of bail to be required.
The Ignored Cases.
The jury reported having ignored
the following charges:
Thomas Cox, Thomas Gordon, Henry
Peto, eXtOrtiOn.

Mary Cox, ct al. adultery and forni.
Thomas Cox, Thomas Gordon, Henry
Peto, conspiracy.
IOOney Not Indicted.
The most interesting thing about the
report of the grand jury. so far as is
shown by the portion of the report
which is made public, is the ignoring
of the charge against John Looney, fol
assault with intent to commit murder
