Mobile, Ala, Feb. completing
its twelve day probe into various mat
tiers. chiefly the alleged bribery charges
made by Charles Daw. formerly
county engineer and the competency
of commissioners to perform their du-
ties under the good roads bond issue.
the city court grand jury adjourned
and made its report to Judge SemmeS
this afternoon.
The report says in part:
The grand jury begs TO report that
il has given much OF its time and at
tention to the careful investigation Of
charges OF graft. bribing, corruption
and incompetency in the matter OF
county contracts for the construction
1of the roads.
with the exception OF the testimony
Of one witness. the evidence bearing
upon bribery OF attempted bribing OF
county oflcers in connection with
county contracts has been hearsay and
based upon rumors. This one excep-
tion Is the testimony of witness. ad-
mittedly an sccomplice, and is wholly
unworthy Of belief. The testimony be-
fore the grand jury shows this party as
having q very bad reputation and his
conduct from the INCEPTION OF his resi-
dence IN this county as not without
Teproach.
we present no finding upon the
charge Of attempted bribery or ac-
ceptsnce Of bribes. because we are ad-
vised that one Charles Daw was not
county onieer at the time he al
leges in his confession that he was Of
fered and accepted bribe, but was
merely an employe Of the county, and
for the further reason that his con-
fession could not be introduced as
evidence, even against himself, until
