nd Jury at that time on whiskey

Oh investigation of lawless condi-
tions in Holmes County.
The Grand Jury was recalled to

question of resigning Mr.. Murtagh
shook his head in the negative.
The question was then asked him
if he would call on the Governor for
help in cleaning up Holmes County.
Mr.. Murtagh again shook his head
in the negative.
He did say that he intended to
do the job himself
Called On First
Sheriff Murtagh was called on at
the beginning of the meeting to e
if there was anything he wanted to
say. He arose and told the large
crowd present that "any community
can get anything it wants. and that
he would cooperate with the citi-
zens in any way"
Attorneys Present
County Attorney Pat M. Barrett,
of Lexington. was next called upon
for remarks.
Mr.. Barrett said he was glad to Be
present at the meeting and glad to
see the sentiment for law-enforce-
ment prevailing in the group. He
said that he wished the same senti-
nent had prevailed several years
ago and cited cases where raids had
been made several years ago and had
been prosecuted by the County
Attorneys office in Justice Of the
Peace Court only to have the defen-
dants turned loose by a jury. He
cited particularly a case involving
the former disreputable joint known
as the Eagles Nest south Of Durant
on highway 81.
MI. Barrett said that public senti-
ment helps to get the law enforced
and that he can be counted on in any
way to get the Job done.
Mr.. Dyer Speaks
District Attorney Howard Dyer,
Jr., Of Greenville, had been telepho-
ned and invited to attend the meet
ing.
Mr.. Dyer said he felt close to the
people of Holmes County, that a
number of his relatives were pioneer
citizens Of the county. He said any
time he can be of service that he'll
consider it a privilege to cooperate.
Mr.. Dyer then reviewed the du-
ties of the Acknowledgement officers
from the governor on down to the
constable.
He said the sheriff of each county
in Mississippi is the chief law-enfor-
cling officer and has ample arresting
and police authority for strict law
enforcement. The law gives the She
riff fees for the performance of his
duties, he said.
The District Attorney also pointed
out that the constable in each super
visor's district is also clothed with
the same authority in his district
that the sheriff is in the county;
and that the town marshal have
the same type of authority in the
corporate limits of the various towns
and cities.
Mr.. Dyer also told of the functions
of the various courts.
Mr.. Dyer said he had performed
his duties according to law as dis
trict attorney and that he had no
apologies to offer anyone.
He said that when the Grand
Jury indicts. / am going to prose

have enough evidence to secure a
conviction, but ! am not going to
