son IS secretary. possesses a
copy Of the first indictment ever
found by grand jury on Mis-
souri, soil. It was for the killing
OF white man near S Charles
on the 18th day December. 1904.
and the first grand jury that as
sembled north of the Missouri
river and west of the Mississippi
indicted James Davis for the
offence.
The preliminary hearing Of
Davis was held before Daniel
Boone. the famous pioneer. who
was cOmmandant. Boone. after
hearing the evidence. sent the
prisoner to jail to await the
action Of the grand jury. Eleven
Of the twelve members of the
grand jury could not write their
! names and the foreman only.

made their mark" The indict-
ment is curiosity. It reads:
