Fifty-six Bills Reported, Three Being
Against Sellers of Booze
Shreveport, La, May ), 1911.
To the Honorable T. F. Bell, Judge of

~
To the Honorable T. F. Bell, Judge of
the First District Court:
We, your grand jury, beg leave to
make the following report: We have
examined the jail and found it in good
condition. We have examined 81 cases,
found 81 true bills and continued for
further evidence 9 cases and ignored SO
cases.
We made a special effort to obtain
evidence against bootleggers, whiskey
peddlers and blind tigers, and have
been able to find true bills in cases
against two persons in town and one in
the parish outside of town.
From so to 90 persons were exami-
nation and from only five could we Sc
cure positive evidence, and this of vio-
lations of some months back
Our examination further discloses
some disregard of the last act passed
to conserve the gas resources of the
State, and we have returned one true
bill and fel sure that there are other
violations not reported. We have ex-
anined all cases submitted and beg to
be relieved from further duty.
We wish to thank the court officials
and district attorneys office for services
readily rendered.
