such should do all that consistently

tions within economical bounds. At

GRAND JURY
WORK GETS
UNDER WAY
In Charge Judge Jones Lays Special
Stress on Liquor Law Violations
and Gambling; Bad Checks
Call for Particular Attention

Judge Cham Jones of Waurika, con.
vened the district court this morning
in Judge viii Linns place. Before
taking up the trial of the civil dockets
Judge Jones empanelled and charged
the grand jury, composed of the follow
ing Grady county citizens: II II.
Green, Tuttle; r. H. Dunn, Acme: w.
Il. Robertson, Ninnekah, Liant Wood,
Futile; G. G. AIayes, Bailey; e. F. Daw.
kins, Rush Springs; Emmet Sizemore,
Chickasha; Ben Baker, Tuttle; Doyle
Denny. Bradley; H. E. Smith, Cement;
John Osborne, verden; M. S. Stewart,
Bailey H E. Green was named as
foreman.
In charging the grand jury Judge
Jones called the attention Of that body
10 the fact that it should be their
duty to investigate all charges where.
in it had been alleged that the prohi-
bition laws Of the state had been vio-
lated. and told the jurors that the
meaning OF the law was that none
should engage in the manufacture.
transportation or sale of intoxicants in
any form. Attention was called to the
law regarding gaming and the jurors
told to investigate carefully all sup
posed resorts where games of chance
were INDUCED in.
The attention Of the jurors was
also called to the alleged existence OF
houses OF illfame in Grady county.
Judge Jones impressed upon the jurors
that the moral tone of the county de-
mandcd the removal of notorious
places Of immoral character. Paticu-
lar stress was laid on the charge given
by Judge Jones relative to the uttering
Of bad checks. Judge Jones stated in
this section Of his charge that any
man might overdraw his account at a
bank and thereby suffer his paper to
be protested, or to be turned down
The law was not, the judge alleged
intended to punish such cases. But
the law regarding bad checks was
intended to provide means OF punish
ment fer those who deliberately utter
ed false paper with the intent of de
frauding the person or persons cash
ing such paper. The nan who wrote
the check against any Sank wherein
lie had no deposit was criminal in
the eyes Of the law and as such shoult
be punished.
