Letter To Editor

The Lexington Advertiser and
Durant News,
Miss Hazel Brannon, Editor,
Dear Miss Brannon:
AS one of the Grand jury. I wish
to say that we had no intentions of
getting even with any one signing
the petition which was presented to
Judge Davis or making any one feel
embarrassed by having them sum-
moned before the Grand Jury. The
first time we met, there were but
three people before us. AS you know
the Grand Jury connot indict except
on some definite evidence against
some individual. We knew a lot of
the people who were summoned be-
fore the Grand Jury wouldn't have
any concrete evidence, but would
know the general conditions, and we
hoped that some could give us evi-
dence that we could base indict-
ments on. We did get evidence
enough to return So indictments
against whiskey and slot machine
VlOldllOIlS.
The Sheriff, Mr.. Walter Murtagh,
promised the Grand Jury, The Dis
trict Attorney, and the County At
torney that he would enforce the
law. We believe he will do it, but il
he doesn't there will be other steps
taken
The Grand Jury is 100ao behind
the District and County Attorneys
and will give them all the support
necessary to see that the laws are
enforced. think we have one of the
best District Attorneys we have had
in long time. hope before another
Grand Jury is empaneled that we
will have a better county.
/ beg to remain,
Yours very truly,
J. w. CUNNINGHAM.

Six Men Get Doys,
$4,000 Fines and
Put Under Bond

Six Holmes county men are in the
county Jail at Lexington serving Is
day sentences imposed upon them
by Judge S. F. Davis this week in
Circuit Court. They pied guilty tc
indictments for whiskey and slot
machine violations returned by the
Holmes County Grand Jury last
week. In addition each was fined
10000 and costs and put under
$500.00 bond not to violate the law
again.
Most of the men now held had
more than one indictment. The Is
day Jail sentence and fine repre-
sented the Judges decision on only
case Other cases against them were
passed to the files and can be put
back on the docket at any time in
the future desired by the County
Attorney and District Attorney. In
case of repeated violations of the
law they will forfeit their bond and
in addition run the risk of being
tried on all charges at once.
The men are: Herbert Downer

liquor.

to selling liquor Three cases in
volving possession of slot machines
passed to the files.

vices. One case involving possession
of liquor passed to files.

vice. One case passed to files.
Other Indictments
According to the Grand Jury's re-
port there were So indictments
drawn by it for violations Of the
prohibition and gambling laws. The
above arrests account for only Is
indictments which indicates there
are quite few arrests yet to be
made by Sheriff Murtagh to carry
out Grand Jury indictments.
