Campbell Citizen,
After ten davS session the
special grand jury adjourned last
Friday afternoon, 1870 indictments
were returned, among them being
some 40 against night riders, who
had been at work in the lower end
of the county. Some few of the in
dictments were for perjury against
members of the night rider gang,
who appeared before the jury and
swore falsely These poor devils
will lose more defending themselves
on these charges than they would
have lost had they behaved them
selves and paid the rise in land rents,
The way Of the foolish is sometimes
hard and sometimes deserved.
