In this connection II might be sale
that this was the shortest session o.
the grand jury known in years. ye
they transacted as much business al
any OF their predecessors. The rea
son for this IS the thorough prepare
tion that had been made In advancs
by County Attorney Lamar Bethes and
Sheriff Jno. ID. Conlee. The examin
ing trials had all been completely
briefed by Mr. Bethea and all the ties
timony typewritten. This enabled ths
district attorney and grand jury to see
az glance what the case was. the
names OF all witnesses and the testi
mony OF each. With this advance
preparation they were enabled to dis
pose OF these cases In one-half the us
ual time. The sheriff also had every
thing we'll rounded up. the witnesses
all located. with the result that
when the business started there was
no lost motion anywhere This was a
big saving 10 the county as II costs
forty TO fifty dollars a day TO run a
grand jury. pay bailifs and other
costs.
