Grand Jury Report
Your grand jurors, duly impanel-
ed and sworn in and for Grady county,
Oklahoma, beg leave to submit here
with the following report
First. We have diligently inquired
into all law violations occurring in
and triable within Grady county,
Oklahoma, and submit herewith GER
tain indictments which we have
found.
Second. We have inquired into the
cause of the death of one Mr.. Heb
ing. who died in one Of the cells OF
the county Jail from suffocation and
burns. and from such investigation
we find that his death came from his
own act and that Hodge Bailey, sher-
iff. and his deputies and MIR. Dryden,
TAILOR. are without blsme for his
death. and should be eAcnerated from
any and all blame for his death,
Third. We have inquired into
matters relating to the construction
and cost of construction of about
mile and a half of road Just east OF
the city of Chickasha and west OF
The toll bridge across the Washita
river. and from such investigation We
belieye that the cost of the construc-
lion Of such road is excessive, that the
same was built without competent
and proper supervision: and we find
that proper provision was not made
Tor laborers on said road and prefer
cpce shown as TO the pay and wages
of certain ones; that the county con-
missioners of this county have not
used due precaution in proving the
correctness of the claims filed by
parties working on said road before
allowing the same; and we suggest
that all claims be required to be
fully iteniized Us to dates. amounts
the place of performance of serv'
ices and all matters relating there
to.
We further show that your grand
Jurors have adjourned sine die
