Adjourned Session Reports
To Court After Four
! Days Session.
TOO FELONY CHARGES
LARGE NUMBER CHARGED WITH
COMPLETELY IN FARMING
TON RIOT.

A sensation was created in the cir
cult court room this afternoon at 2
o'clock when indictments against near
ly $50 persons were returned by the
grand jury. Nearly 100 of these per-
sons were indicted for felony in II
different and separate indictments.
Great secrecy was thrown about this
list of names by the court officials. and
many foreigners in the court room
were alarmed at what they regard as,
preparation for another series OF
wholesale arrests In connection with
the Pennington stt9re. More than half
a hundred prisoners are already in Jail
charged with felony in connection
with the riot and the special strike
grand jury returned indictments
against about ITO persons in connec-
ton with the riot.
1t is believed, however, that many
OF the names in the list returned today
appeared in the list of men previously
indicted for completely in the strike
riot.
The indictment OF Mrs. Serepta J.
Straight who Is accused of having set
fire to the Talkington home in Locust
avenue because of her infatuation for
Mr.. Talkington created great interest.
There was also an unexpectedly large
number Of additional indictments on
misdemeanor charges growing out OF
disclosures by witnesses in the Kilarm
murder trials.
The last evidence to be produced be-
fore the grand jury related to sensa-
tional check forgeries and this pro-
longed the session of the jury lot
more than half day.
In view of the large number of
boys summoned to testify regarding
the purchase and use of cigarettes the
action of the grand jury was some
what of a surprise to county Off
Gals. According to rumors about the
court house. however, it appears that
most of the boys swore that they
made the cigaa ties they smoked and
that the papers were found in the
streets where they had been thrown
by tobacco dealers during the spring
house cleaning" of their stores.
When court convened this morning
at 9 o'clock Judge w. S. Raymond dis
missed the panel of petit jurors in
structing them to return at 1880
o'clock as their services would not be
needed until that true on account Of

jury, which would occupy the atten-
ton of Prosecuting Attorney Tusca
