Special Correspondence of The Star


ROCKVILLE. Md, March II, 1914.

ward c. Peter stated that complaints

erless to do anything, and that there
was no money for the use Of the
sheriff in enforcing the law. and he
urged the jury to consider the matter
thoroughly and make full report as
to what should be done.
Judge Peter told the jurors that he
knew Of nothing Of a serious criminal
nature to which to call their atten-
ton. He gave them some advice as to
how to expedite their work. and called
attention to certain statutes as re-
quired by law. He asserted that the
county Jail is in as good sanitary con-
dition as any building in Rockville, and
that Sheriff Whalen could be depended
upon to keep the building as clean as
