NEW IDEAS With

Attorney General Would
Examine Witnesses Week
Ahead of Session
SEPTEMBER TERM
TO BE BUSY ONE

Indications are that the September
term OF General Sessions Court will
be large one both for criminal and
divorce cases. Although there will
be no civil cases for trial at this term.
there will be long list Of cases for
argument. Preparations have been
begun for the September term. which
will be held in the old Court House.
There is a possibility that Deputy
Attorney General Armon ID. Chaytor
Will inaugurate a new custom in
order to facilitate the business Of the
court. The idea is TO have the wit
nesses come before him the week be-
fore court. This will give him an
opportunity TO prepare the indict-
ments and have them ready TO be pre-
sented the day court opens Defend
ants will be expected TO be ready for
trial when their cases are called.
II mas been suggested that the
grand jury be brought back a week
earlier but this is not considered just
the right thing. under the law. The
examination OF witnesses by the at
torney- general and his deputy and the
preparation Of the indictments will
help 10 keep the court busy
II will also be a big saving TO the
county as under a calendar certain
cases will be called on certain days
and many witnesses will not be held
waiting in court.
When the new county building is
used II will be possible 20 hold two
