To the Honorable Prentiss B. Carter,
Judge of the 26th Judicial District
Court, st. Tammany Parish, La.
Honored Sir:-We, the st. Tam
many Parish Grand Jury, beg leave
to submit this, our final report.
We have heard 81 cases. examin-
ing total Of 252 witnesses, and re-
turned "a bills of Indictment.
We desire to call Your Honor's at
tention to some Irregularities In
some of the offices of our parish Of
ficials, to-wit:
/. In the renting out of prison
ers for labor, this method should
have careful attention and done In
it's proper way.
2. Deputy officers, in making ar
rests in different parts of the par
ish, do not surrender to their super
ior officers the articles that are gen
orally taken from the person or per-
sons whom they arrest. This is OF
vital Importance and should be
stopped at once.
s. Our Justices of the Peace, In
cases to the Grand Jury,
send them to that body with only
one prosecuting witness, who makes
the affidavit on Information receiv-
ed from some one else. This re-
suits in waste of time by the Grand
Jury, and useless spending OF the
taxpayers money.
4. We strongly recommend that
be done with our jail.
This parish jail is unfit to lock any
one in. We cannot lay too much
stress on the words unfit to lock
one in." We believe that the only
remedy is new and larger jail with
better accommodations, both from
cell and sanitary point of view.
