Concerning Bulgaria, NJ Sazonoff
said he did not believe it would move
against Russia under any circum-
stances. He declared that the Italo-
Serbian relations were amicable and
that Russia's task with regard to Ser

bia received free outlet on the Adri-

The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1915-05-28

That several of the officers charged
with the enforcement of the criminal
laws of Forrest county have been lax
in their duties recently, that some of
these came perilously near being in
dicted by the grand jury, became
known today when the report of the
latter body for this session of the cir
cult court became public.
In charging the grand jury at the
beginning of the court, Judge Johnson
intimated that a number of these Of
ficers, he believed had not been as ac-
tive as their duties required, and sug-
gested in open court that they pay
more attention to the detection of
criminals.
Working on the suggestion given
these officers, the grand jury, it be-
came known today, figuratiyely took
off their coats, rolled up their sleeves,
and started little investigation all of
their own The became convinced,
the report says, that laXity was
shown. This was not strong enough,
and the evidence obtained was not suf-
ficient to warrant an indictment, the
jurymen say.
Have Not Been DiIieent.
Here is what the report stated:
"We do not think that all the Of
ficers charged with the enforce
ment of the criminal law have
been as diligent as they might
have been. We were unable, how
ever, to get sufficient evidence to
sustain indictments of any of the
officers"
The report of the grand jury, it was
explained by one of the jurymen after
wards, does not apply to all of the
officers, county and city, as some of
them have rendered service unexcel-
led by any previous set of officials.
