INDICTMENTS DISMISSED
BY CHARLESTON JURORS
Liquor Indictment* Made b) taw und
Order League did not Meet with the
Favor of Charleston Crnnd Jury.
Charleston, Oct. 10. ?The gran.I jury
today threw out forty-two of the two
hundred and ninety liquor Indict
ments handed thom last Wednesday,
and in ait probability the balance will
tuko the same route to extinction.
Foreman Devoraux said this afternoon
that witnesses had l)een examined In
all of the \2 cases ejected and that
the grand jury was dead locked over
the situation.
'Noxt Monday the prose itmetit for
the term will he made and at that
time a report on the disposition of the
liquor Indictments will i> ? Incorporat
ed In the olllclal document. The
judge's remarks to tho grand Jury
When they returned no bills in 12 of
tho eases presented to them were in
substance that thoro was h farco
somewhere, lie then asked the jury
if it was their intention to go on with
the other eases since such a large pro
portion has been thrown out. The Jury
replied that they had not decided
whether to continue tho consldorutlon
or to throw tho romalnedr of the cases
out.
Later if developed tlint the grand
jury was practically through with the
cases. This action of the grand jury
can hardly bo called a surprise as It
lias been generally supposed that the
big batch of Indictments would hard
ly get through tl step necessary to
put them before It juries.
The grand jur> ? the first -place did
not care to make presentiment of the
eases brought by the law and order
league, so the solicitor wrote out bills
of indictment and handed them to tho
grand jury for action, either to bring
in true bills or no bills.
Many factors it is thought, have en
tered Into tho situation so far as the
grand jury and the general public an
concerned. The expense of trying
hundreds of liquor casos, the time re
quired, the dllllCUlly of securing OVl
donCO to convict, tho history of liquor
cases before petit, juries in tho past,
and the fat t that for several adminis
trations tho blind tigers in Charleston
have been nothing more than a licens
ed Institution as the records of the
city will show, all have bearing on the
present situation.
It appears upon evidence a ?ainst
some 100 gambling dens and blind
tigers in the city has been wasted as
the grand Jury snaps it's linger in
tholr faces and llagrant violation of
law, which has made tho reputation of
this city not unlike that of Sodom
and Oommorrah, will remain en
throned jn state.
