Thursday, April II:
To The Honorable Judges OF the Cir
cut Court of Prince Georges county
We the Grand Jury for the April 1910
term of the Circuit Court, beg leave to
submit the following report
The Grand Jury has been in session
10 days, has examined III cases, 90
witnesses, made 81 presentments and
found 81 true bills. Quite number of
cases failed of presen; alton on account
OF lack of sufficient evidence to justify
successful prosecution. notably the
Ease of a witness which we feel should
have been brous hit before us in an inn
portant case, the excuse being that said
witness now resided In the District of
Columbia.
We visited the Jail in body and
found eleven III prisoners confined
within its iinits-3 white males and s
colored maies. We found the Jail to be
in a sanitary condition. The roof how
ever is in bad shape and should be re-
paired at once.
We append the T port OF the Commit
tee on the Aims House.
We desire to express our apprecia-
ton of the assistance rendered US by
the sheriff and his deputies III the per-
f rmance of our duties.
lie duties of the Clerk of the Court
aud his assistants are performed IN a
manner deserving the highest common
d.. ION.
The States Attorney, Mr.. S. Marvin
Peach, has cheerfully, promptly and
intelligently performed the duties OF his
office and materially aided US i'll prompt
iy completing our work, some OF which
has been of an unusual character.
The balliff to the Grand Jury deserv-
es our thanks for the efficient and cour
teous manner in which he has discharg
ed his duties
We have Dissolved that there is a
difference of opinion in regard to the
duties of constable, especially In the;
dog and Junk dealers licenses, and the,
should be instructed as to their duties.
In the former, we recommend that q
house to house canvass be made.
We recommend that an expert stem
ographer and typewriter be furnished
the Grand Jury. 1t would save great
deal of time and be of valuable assis-
aDce to this body, eliminating all mi
Understandings as to The testimony O.
witnesses and in cases carried over fol
several days.
We recommend that toilet room be
provided for ladies ard located in 4
suitable part of the building
We recommend that the roof of tn
Court House be repaired, it being IN
leaky condition, and that the plasI erins
in some of the rooms, being III bad con
dition should be repaired at once. Also
the water water pipes in the men :
toilet room are leaking badly and
should have immediate attention.
We also note that the flag on the
Court House is in dilapidated conuI
ton, and we recommend that the Coun-
ty Commissioners provide a new on +,
and that the janitor be directed to take
down the flag at night.
And now having performed the work
devolving upon US to the best OF our
ability, we respectfully request that we
be permitted to adjourn. subject to the
further orders of the Court.

AIMS HOUSE REPORT.
We, the undersigned committee, APP
pointed by the Grand Jury to visit the
Aims House-viSited the same on Apr
10th. 1919, report follows:
We found 23 inmates-White males
II, white femal. S 2; colored males 4,
coIored females E.
We find conditions good, the eating
and living rooms i'll a clean and SAM
tary condition. A number of inmates
were examined and had no complaints
to make as to treatment.
We would suggest that bath tub he
placed in the institution for the use o !.
the inmates. Would also suggest thai
some improvement be made to the well
as the supply of water is not sufficient.
We would suggest that the windows in
the main building be repaired, as they
are in very bad condition.
We find that there were no bril-
and that there were four d aths
We find horses in good condition
cows in good condition, shoats and
brood sows, 65 chickens, top wagon,
I farm wagon, sets wagon harness,
and plow harness, and some plows,
cultivators and some old tools used on
the county roads; also so barrels OF
white potatoes, go barrels of corn, some
corn fodder, about s acres of rye and
wheat to be plowed under.
We find a practically new barn TO
hold IS horses, new corn house which
will hold 300 barrels of corn. These
buildings were erected Tor the teams OF
the Road Commissioners.
We believe it would be economy 10
dispose of the present site and secure
another where the land is such that a
profitable crop can be raised, as the
present site is practically worthless fo1
farming-faillng to secure another suit
able site we would suggest the pur
chase OF car load of lime.
We were informed by the keep I thai
he sold about $500 worth of produce il
addition to that consumed by the III
mates, and, we think, they did very
well under present circumstances.
