on q charge OF perjury petore vne
grand July IN connestiOn Win the m
vestisation OF the brenI&ar charges.
There were many othsf matters In
vestigated. by the grand jury. 1t ID
said, for which no indictments appear
In the records OF the court house. It
lis claimed that transactions in con-
nection with the contracts at the state
capitol were probed but the failure to
indict exonerates all those connected
with the capitol construction. Certain
it is that several contractors and ar
chitects appeared before the Jury and
gave their testimony and other ar
chitects declared that the probe would
go to the bottom Of the matters, in
their opinion. Dave Rich. captain of
detectives, Chief Reeves and the presi-
dents and officers of several Of the
banks of the city were before. the
grand jury in connection with other
matters said to relate to certain bank
slips. the possession Of which was
under investigation.
Still other matters were probed and
Investigated during the long session
of the grand jury. Several Of the
membership conducted investigations
after hours at the court house and
went from place to place in groups
Of two and three. 1t Is said, carrying
out their plans for a thorough probe
or all sorts OF conditions In the county.
The contractors on the capitol
building We're before the grand jury
yesterday. The electric contracts on
the building were probed. 1t is said,
and the contractors summoned before
the grand jury to tell of the TRANSACT
lions which certain architects In the
city did not like. 1t. IL also said that
the draperies contract was examined
and charges made that the draperies
were being made in the city when
they were let to the Boston Draperies
company were weighed, 1t Is alleged.
The fact that no indictments have
been found against :he persons who
were said to have been charged with
peculiar transactions exonerates them
from the charges that have now been
made and gives them a clean slate as
to their past actions.
Following is the ONLY report that
the grand iury made when II ad-
adjourned Yesterday:
I'VE, the grand iury. made an in
spection OF the iail Sent. %. and rec.
ommend as follows.
"Fjrst. that the TAIL he given a thor
ough cleaning. kalsomininR and naint-
ing; that the mattresses used in the
steel cages be DESTROYED and the cages
be supplied with new ones. and fur
Their demand that the inner cell. known
as the dark cell he not used except
in an emergency.
1--WE were Informed that this cell is
used for patients who arc insane or
insane. II has no outside
light and the very noorest NJ yent,,a-
ton. We were Informed hv tho Ipdye
Of probate court that most of the in
sane that are committed are women.
1t seems that the tendency would he
to iniure. instead of bettering the con-
dition OF the person who was confined
in this kind of a cell. Until such a
time as the commissioners can build
a Jail with proper facilities for such
people we recommend that the county
be instructed to secure
the use of a room at one OF the local
hospitals, and that the room they rent
from the hospital shall have nadded
walls in order that the patients can
not injure themselves while in a de-
mented condition.
1.-THE rooms on the left OF the en-
trance to the Jail are what is known
rs the women's ward. We recommend
