GRAND JURY REPORT.

Leakesville, Miss, Nov. 10, 1917.
To the Hon. Circuit Judge
We the Grand Jury of Greene
county. Miss, for the November
term of the Circnit Court thereof,
beg leave to submit this our final
report.
We have examined so witness and
lave returned 4 true bills.
We have endeavored to be careful
IN considering all indictments re-
turned into court. believing it a
needless and useless expense to re-
turn an indictment without evidence
to substantiate the same.
1t is our pleasure TO report that
from our investigation very little
crime is being committed in our
county.
We find that the public roads IN
places In the county are greatly in
need of work being done on them.
and in connection with the road work
it is our opinion that there are ir.
Irregularities and perhaps specula-
tions in connection with the road
funds in this way. that overseers are
being paid for work that probably
they are not performing and provis-
ions are being taken from the Greene
County road camps. We have not
found sufficient evidence to warrant
indictments in this matter, but we
in Our Investigations, were convin-
ced that this matter will bear the
close scrutiny of the officers of
Greene County and we especially call
their attention to this fact We sug-'
gest that the grand jury for the next
term of the Circuit Court of Greene
County investigate this matter fur
Their.
We have examined the county jail
and find that the'sam is fairly well
kept.
We have carefully examined the
report OF the Clerk of the Board of
Supervisors. certifying that, he had
examined the accounts, dockets and
records of the County and District
officers and has approved the same.
OF course this Grand Jury is unable
to say whether the records of these
officers are correctly kept.
We thank your Honor for the able
charge given us, which has aided us
SO much in the Investigations aud
deliberations.
We also thank our most efficient
District Attorney for his able coun-
sci and also the other County officers
for the prompt manner IN which
they have performed their respect.

bors, we respectively ask to be dis
