Widow OF General Pickett Dies.

Mrs La Sale Corbe1l Pickett. widow Of
Gen. George E. Pickett, leader of the last
Confederate charge at Gettysburg, died
last Sunday at Chestnut Lodge Santa
rum, Rockville.
For several months she had been under
treatment for hardening of the arteries. Her
death was fastened. however. by an injury
in an accidental fall.
AS 1.-THE child bride of the Confederacy''
she was the toast of the romantic South
during the Civil War days, and she carried
forward her husbands fame through half
century of widowhood.
The stirring story of Gettysburg came
wildly from her lips, and she told it on
ChautauQua platforms from coast to coast
and in several books.
AS the years passed her title became
mother Pickett" She sent son to the
Spanish American War and a grandson
to the World War. and through it all she
proudly carried the tradition of her type
the gentle woman of the old South.
Even Presidents fondly referred to her
a. Mother Pickett" She knew them all
from Lincoln. Diplomats. actors, authors,
came to her drawing room; she wrote in
innate "reminiscences Of julia Ward Howe.
Mrs. Jefferson Davis, Mrs. Robert E. Lee.
Lucy Larcom, Clara Barton, Louisa May
Alcott and Celia Tnaxter.
10 the time of her death she was still
weaving word pictures of the characters she
found interestlng-and who found her inter-
esting Most colorful of all her manuscripts
was the one she left unfinished, my Memo
DRY Cham" Its chapters were to have
been the human interest nuggets of long
literary lifetime.
Chronicle of an actual ornament it was,
her best beloved necklace, with pendant
for every link and every pendant the gut
of an illustrious person. The chain itself
was a memento of her husbands Cana
dian exile" her gift to him when. after a
hazardous journey with small son, she
joined HIM across the border.
Mrs. Pickett was born in Nansemond
County, Virginia, daughter Of DIR. John D.
Corbell She was educated at Lynchburg
| Virginia. In those years she acquired the
negro folk lore which she later incorporated
into volumes of dialect stories.
The Civil War found her already famed
as one of the prettiest girls in Virginia.
On July 8, 1853, General Pickett led mag
nificent charge on Cemetery Ridge. at Get,
tysburg. the failure of which decided the
battle. On September 18th of that same
year the 18-year-old belle married him. at
the height of his heroic fame. She had long
curls in those days, and her vivacity and
beauty made her the ideal of Southern
oldier's bride. The general died in 1878.
Mrs. Pickett was the honorary president
of the United Daughters of the Confederacy
former president of the League of Ameri-
can Penwomen. and one of the founders
of the Arts Club of Washington.

sisters, Mrs. W. F. Gotten and Mrs. W. C.
Eley, and brother. DIR. E. F. Corbell.

Report OF The Grand Jury.

We, the Grand Jury. in and for Mont
gomery County have the honor to report
TO the Court that we have carefully inves-
tIgated all the cases brought before US
twenty six in number, and have found
twenty-three presentments.
We have examined one hundred and
twenty-three witnesses. most of whom were
found to be competent and willing to give
evidence.
Our examination of the jail showed con-
ditions to be as good as possible under
existing conditions. We found in the jail
eleven colored males, thirteen white males
and two colored females.
Our examination of the court house
evidences the well-known condition of over
crowded Offices and inadequate space and
protection for the valuable records of the
county. We recommend that all toilets be
left unlocked during the sessions of court.
We visited the county buildings at Be-
thesda and Silver Spring and found both
to be in first-class condition.
We commend the States Attorney for
his unfailing courtesy and consideration
In advising the Grand Jury and for his
efficient preparation of the cases sub
mitted.
We commend the Sheriff for his atten-
ton to his duties.
We especially commend the Chief of
/ Police, Mr.. Monkey. and the force under
him for their efficiency and ability in
bringing offenders against the law to justice.
| Il is our opinion that to the efficiency Of
this force is due more than anything else
the small number of cases presented to the
Grand Jury.
We visited the Almshouse and found
the buildings clean, sanitary and we'll kept.
| We found there five white women, thirteen
white men and five colored men as occu-
| pants. The commissioner in charge and
| the Superintendent are entitled to COM
mendation for their attention to this insti-
tuition.
We were particularly impressed with the
| character of great many OF the cases
presented to the Grand Jury. in that the
offenders were charged with the theft OF
articles of small value. or small sums oil
money, in one case below the amount OF
three dollars, which under the existing law
must be presented to the Grand Jury. pre-
sentiments found and tried by the Circuit
Court.
In view of the fact that at the last cleo
ton the voters of the State approved the
calling by the Governor OF Constitutions
Convention, we heartily recommend TO the
Montgomery County Bar AssOclatlon' III tnt
event a Constitutional Convention SHOULD
be called, that they work out an endeaVo
to secure the Incorporation in the new con-
: stitution OF provisions separating the cases
wherein persons are charged with the tnei
OF articles Of small value or sums OF money
up to the value Of twenty-five dollars 81
that these cases may be tried by our mos
, excellent Police Court as Court OF orisina
and final Jurisdiction. We feel il this coulC
be accomplished ii would save the county
a great deal of expense incident TO thu
holding in jail Of offenders for periods o
months before they are tried and would
! save the further expense incident 70 TN
cost of trying these cases in the Circui
Court.
