JUDGE ALBERT A. DOUB'S .
CHARGE TO GRAND JURY
Full Text of Jurist's Address to
Body When Sworn In For Ser
vice Monday Morning

The June Term of the Garrett
County Circuit Court convened Mon
day morning at ten o'clock with Asso-
ciate Judge Albert A. Doub presiding.
Mr. Charles w. Ream, appointed
by the Court at the time the jury was
drawn, with his fellow-members of the
body, were sworn by Clerk Tower,
after which Judge Doub delivered his
charge to the Grand Jury, the full
text of which appears below:
Gentlemen Of the Grand jury
1t is an age-long custom, and the
statutes of the State of Maryland
now require that the Court shall de-
liver to you a charge outlining to
some extent the duties which you are
to perform and the responsibilities of
your office.
at would seem to be unnecessaryto
do this so far as some members of
the Grand Jury are concerned, be-
cause I observe that several of you
if not the most of you, have served
upon the Grand Jury of this county
before. 1t is unnecessary for me to
remind you, perhaps, that you are an
essential part of the administration
of justice in Garrett county. Under
our system of Jurisprudence the
Grand Jury initiates the charges a
gainst traversers. Witnesses will be
produced before you, complaints will
be made, and after you have heard the
testimony it will be for you to deter
mine whether, if you were sitting as
petit jurors to try the guilt or inno-
cence of the party charged, you would
find him guilty upon the evidence pro-
duced before you. If the evidence be
such that you, applying the law as
you understand it, would find the ira
verser guilty without hearing any evil
dence in his behalf, it will be your
duty to find an indictment. You can
find no Indictment, however, unless
twelve of the twenty-three jurors
vote in favor of the Indictment, but
if twelve or more jurors vote in favor
of a presentment or indictment, then
the indictment is found by you and
prepared by the States Attorney.
"The States Attorney will be with
you. He will be your adviser. He
will lay before you the statutes when
there are statutes applicable to the
specific crimes charged against the
different individuals, except in cases
where there are no statutes, in the
class of offenses known as crimes at
the common-law.
"The court is very much gratified
to learn from the States Attorney
and the members of the bar here that
there have been no very serious
crimes since the last Grand Jury was
convened in December.
eve hear a great deal now about
the apparent increase in crime and
the disposition to break the law on
the part of the people generally. l
am very glad to be able to state pub
Hcly that the court has not recognized
that condition anywhere in the Fourth
Judicial Circuit either in Garrett, AL
legany or Washington counties. My
observation has been that crime has
very much decreased in those three
counties within the past twenty-five
years and what increase there has
been has been of minor offenses and

 The most violent quake of the series consisted of about one hun dred and fifty tremors which kept the western half of the island ac- quiver for more than twenty-four hours. It is reported that quakes were so violent last night that the walls of buildings in various parts of the iSand fell in and complet- ely ruined things. In fact one tremor was so pronounced that it wrecked the seismograph at

SEVERE FLOOD IN NEW
 MEXICO WIPES OUT CITY

ALBURQUEQUF, New Mexico, Sept. 2S, (P)-The muddy waters of the Rio Grande today closed over three buildings, all that re- mained of San Marcial, once a town of about thousand four hun dred residents in the foothills.
 The broad expanse of land at the juneture of two rivers was finally flooded when the two riv- CTS were loosend by heavy rains and which ultimately swelled the Rio into raging torrent which burst all of the dykes and levees.
 Refugees were huddled in ev- cry conceivable place, some left before the flood and others who were carried along by force of circumstances. Many were with out food or shelter and the In dians are giving them what meag- cr aid is possible and thus far there has been no sickness or deaths. Apprehension is felt though unless outside aid is re- ceived soon. The Red Cross has been making efforts to reach the victims during the day.

 Any word of Jerry?" I asked.
 None, John."
 A new fear seized upon me. Had Jerry, like Andrew, been done away with?
 You saw Hyde?" Deacon asked.
 Nodding, MacNair lighted cigar cite. Henry's honest face was troubled.
 Anything new?" inquired.
 He considered us thoughtfully for a moment Yes, about this woman in black. Her name is Lundy. Mrs. Joe Lundy. Andrew gave her a check the other day
 "A check?" I echoed.
 "A check" Henry said slowly, flor $1,ooo"
 Ogden seems to nave been liberal with his cash" MacNair drawled. How did you get on to it?"
 My man Thompson found his check book in the pocket of suit upstairs. One of the stubs was made out to a Mrs. Joe Lundy for $1,OO0 We got in touch with Og- den's bank, the First National. The check was cashed the day before yesterday. Mrs. Lundy is the wom- an in black. The teller remembered her by the odd clothing she wore. :"
 The information bewii5ered me. What possible connection could this strange figure, Mrs. Lundy, have with the tragedy of the night before? Deacon must have sensed my thoughts.
 She can't be this James Dill lon" he said sharply.

 SYNOPSIS: Alex Peterson's famous gold-mounted revolver loaded with gold bullets becomes mysteriously linked with the murder of Andrew Ogden. Ma than Hyde, the antique dealer who sold the revolver to John Pcebles, admits he obtained it from Furie, Ogden's queer visi- tor on the day he was slain. Hyde further reveals that after the weapon had been sold to Peebles, Ogden demanded to know what Hyde had done with the pistol.

Dear me, no! Why should I have?"
 "Hmn!" said MacNair. Well
 every man to his taste. Some go in
 for pistols, some for pottery, some
 for pictures. My hobby is swords"
 Hyde smiled and rubbed his
 hands. "Ah, to be sure. I have
 very fine Japanese sword guard by
 Masamune in the shop. Perhaps
 you'd like to see it."
 T should" said MacNair.
 Hyde excused himself The mo-
 ment he was gone MacNair stiffen-
 ed in his chair and listened at
 tentively. Then, quick as a cat
 and bent double, he slid over to
 Hyde's shabby desk, leaned across
 it, and, to my amazement, opened
 the top drawer. MacNair stared
 down into the drawer for a moment
 then he slipped quietly back to
 his chair.
 Before I could demand the req
 son of this extraordinary conduct
 Hyde reappeared with the sword.
 "A beautiful bit of workmanship,
 MT. MacNair," the dealer said
 smoothly.
 "Hmnl" MacNair responded dry ly. Not bad. How much?" Hyde's eagle eyes narrowed trifle. "Ah, yes. The figure is just $1 200"
 MacNair laughed ironically. "If
 you haven't sold it in, say, two
 months from now, I'll give you $500"
 My dear MT. MacNair,' Hyde protested, q couldn't take a penny less than $1 200" Well, put it away and we'll talk about it couple of months hence. Do you know anything more about this Peterson pistol?" The old pirate shrugged. He followed us to the door, We left him then. "A beautiful liarl" MacNair said
 harshly, as we crossed the street. What was in the drawer?" If you had been watching him closely as we entered the office you would have seen him snap that drawer shut. I concluded there was something in it that he didn't want us to see, so I determined l to find out what it was" Curious" I remarked, but when | I dropped in on Hyde yesterday afternoon he Tipped letter over some object on his desk Hammond, one of our lawyers, was with him at the time and both of them seemed startled at my appearance. Well, what did you find?" "A bit of rich gold quartz like that piece Deacon came upon in | Ogden's desk"
 You don't say!" I exclaimed II DGI tIldt WAS Wtldb I1yQt COt- cred up yesterday afternoon. Gold quartz, eh! Do you connect it with Furie?"
 "Hubbards description of Furie suggested an old desert rat and a connection is inferable, of course" That would bring Hyde into the case" I muttered. Hammond, too, maybe. By the way, Hammond was prospector in his younger days" And I told MacNair what I knew of him.
 Interesting" he muttered. But . it by no means eliminates young Ogden. However, we have two possible lines of inquiry open be- fore us. Blackmail is one of
 them; the gold-hunting instinct is the other. One of them should lead us to Ogden's murderer. They may converge before we find him"
