Chester (Pa.) Street Railway bonds
are a first mortgage on the property
of the company, ten miles Of line run
ming out Of Kennctt Square, and are
outstanding in the sum Of $1,000,000.
The company had deficit in 1918, but
managed to turn this into a surplus in
1919. owing to fare increases. You
might hold this bond, as we'll as the
Chiles, Liberties, French Intervals and
the Cities Service, and invest in sea-

mind, as you put it. We leave 1t to
you what disposition to make of the
most speculative issues ON your list.

The grand jury making special
presentment to the court Of general
sessions Monday morning, and ex-
planning it's actions. withheld the
indictment charging Job c. Swygert,
prominent Leesville farmer, with the
murder of DR.. J. c. Nicholson.
The jury gave as its reason for
withholding action on the indictment
that the docket is crowded: that the
offense was committed in another
county: that the trial would cost the
county hundreds and perhaps
thousand dollars. and that from the
information before the grand jury
there is no good reason why the de-
fendant as we'll as the state could not
get a fair trial in the county which
the offense was committed. - '''--
Judge Townsend instructed the
jury to bring in report on the in
dictment, in accordance with ter. in
vestigation, regardless of other con-
siderations. The expense incident to
the trial under the Indictment was a
matter for the delegation, Judge
Townsend said The solicitor has the
right to bring the defendant to trial
in the county where the deceased was
shot or where he died, in accordance
with the solicitors opinion which will
be TO the best interests of the state.
eff you find from the evidence that
Nicholson died in this county and re-
ceived his mortal wound in Lexington
county" Judge Townsend instructed
the jury in returning the Indictment,
'it is your duty to return true bill. ,
Solicitor Spigner read to the grand
jury correspondence bearing in the
matter. such as Attorney General
VOLTS letter instructing him to take
whatever steps are necessary to have
Swygert tried in Richland county;
letter to Solicitor Callison in which
Mr.. Spigner quotes the attorney gen.
eral and asks for a list of witnesses,
and stenographic reports Of the testi-
mony at the coroner'S inquest: and
an invitation to Solicitor Callison to
ioin in the conduct of the trial for
the state.
The grand jury said in one para
graph, explaining it's ground for tho
finding, that they were considering
the business interests Of all parties
concerned as well as the rights of all
involved.
a. H. Kohn is foreman Of the grand
jury.
