6 R A N D JURY IS
| N ST R j c TE D BY
JUDGE W. T. FORT
Calls Special Attention To
Auto and Prohibition
Laws

Judge William f. Fort OF the Grim
inal division of the circuit court
gave an intensive charge to the April
jury Monday morning when this in
quisitorial body was empaneled. Aft
er relating the history of the grand
jury, Judge Tort said THAT it is the
duty of every citizen to render his
service to the state, as no govern
ment is stronger than the will and
character of the people. and that the
foundation of Justice lies in the courts
of the land" The grand jury, he
continued. was one OF the most i'm
portant arms of the administration
Of the law.
Judge Fort then made reference to
cases which had been Investigated by
former juries. including the Bowling
flogging case; however. no names
were mentioned by the judge. He
warned the jurors that especial care
should be exercised by the present
jury to restrain any prejudice from
entering into the investigation
through the knowledge they might
have of the cases pending, because
these cases come as an inheritance
he said.
He further instructed the jury of
the various violations of the law,
dwelling especially on the automo-
bile laws. reckless driving. speeding
and the violations of the prohibit
ton laws by persons who otherwise
are respectable law abiding citizens
Judge Fort said 1t was often the lit
tie offenses which caused the greater
crimes.
Investigations were adso asked for
in condition of road houses, liquor
violations and the gambling situa-
ton, also the carrying of concealed
weapons.
The jury was impaneled by James
Davis. county solicitor, shortly after
IL o'clock, and. according to reports
the case of ]. o. Baugus, taxi chauf-
feur, charged with criminal assault
was the first to be investigated.
After the jury was organized w
A. Watts. real estate dealer of Bir-
mingham, was elected foreman, while
