SPECIAL GRAND JURY
HEARS BRIEF CHARGE
FROM JUDGE WOODS
Court Explains Reason For
Calling Special Body.

II a brief, though pointed charge,
Judge Woods this morning explained
to the special grand jury why such
action had been taaken and what the
Body would be called upon to inves-
tigate. The Judge explained that
because of so much burglary in the
city, saying that the regular grand
JUS had returned indictments aga.
inst several young men, one of whom
hae been convicted, and further be-
cause of certain recent developments
. the prosecuting attorney and himself
Mad deemed it wise to call special
lgrand jury and have all matters
cleaned up before the present term
of court adjourns.
Two grand jurors, Messrs. Gray
Silver, who is out of the city. and
Adam Proctor, who is confined to his
, home with illness, did not report.
Messrs. W. o. Nicklas and NJ. a.
Snodgrass We're called as jury com
missioners, and they drew the names
of MesSrs. II. E. Owens and NJ. l..
Dorm. The grand jury was then or
ganized with j. II. Fulk as foreman,
and the following as members: S.
l.. DOdd, Fred Kilmer, d. p. Lemas-
ter. Edwin Henshaw, c. E. Ridge
way, Homer Small, Frank Noll, Har-
man Couchman, Shields Payne. F. A.
Minor, Z. A. Miller, NJ. l.. Dorm, H.
f. Owens. J. y. Butler and Isaac
Warren.
Judge Woods said that in addi-
tiov to investigating the burglary
cases there would be one forgery
case, which developed during the
past few days. He said that all of
the accused were young men, and
const ierable curiosity had been ar
oused because of the age of those &C
cused OF committing the various Of
lenses. Apparently, he said, these
youths had conceived the idea that
! they could earn their liyelihoods by
\ t-lrglary and if all reports are to be
believed they had been very busy.
Somebody must be at fault, he CON
| tinued. The primary fault lies with
the parents. If the parents cannot
} control their boys, the grand juries
must take action. Here he spoke
about boys being allowed to fire.
quent pool rooms, where games are
/ played for gain ana hire. Boys I'M
der the age OF IS years are not al
lowed to visit such places, and any
Il proprietor tolerating or permitting
8them to loiter or play games in their
places is guilty of contributing to
childs delinquency.
Referring briefly to boys smoking
cigarettes Judge Woods said no boy
under the age of II is allowed to
practice the habit; neither is boy
under 16 years of age permitted to
smoke pipe and that it was the
duty of the sheriff and other officers
\ to arrest all boys found violating this
Alaw.
He did not dwell upon the forgery,
the election laws, tax laws and the
! honest employment laws, as he be-
Aieyed it was not necessary.
In conclusion Judge Woods said
that the grand jurors might be shock
ed by reading some of the state
ments which have been made. They
revealed. he said that much burg
larry had been committeed and he
asked that all matters coming before
the body be carefully inquired into
At 11.20 O'Clock the jury retired and
began hearing witnesses.
