JUDGE MOORE'S j
CHARGE TO THE
GRAND JURY
Following is the charge of Judge
W alter E. Moore, of Sylva, to the
grand jury at the August term of
Cherokee Superior Court which is
now in session. This is Judge
Moore's first time to hold court at
Murphy since his '-lection two years i
ag??. His charge to the grand jury
is interesting and is carried for the
perusal of our readers in accordance
with the policy of this paper to car
ry the charge of the grand jury of
all judges holding court here. Head
it and think upon its message:
Mr. Foreman, and gentlemen of |
the Grand Jury. I want to congratu
late you and your County on the'
building of this most magnificient
court house; it is a credit to your
County and a credit to the State, and.
another thing that impresses me is,
that this couit house has been built!
of native material, native to your
County, and it shows what natural
resources the County of Cherokee
has; to erect this magnificient build
ing out of your own material shows
'that you have resources here that
are capable of making you a rich
[county if they an* only cultivated
| and used and manufactured, and it
is a great pleasure to me to be here
'with you in this beautiful building,
and 1 want to give warning now ? l!
Isee a notice has been posted by the
Commissioners that any one. spitting
on the floor will be fined $5.(10 ?
that I will enforce this fully; there
is no use of any one spitting on the
floor of this magnificient building
or marking the walls, and it would
be a great crime t?> mar the beauty
of this building in any way, by spit
ting on the floor or marking the
walls, or dropping fruit or peeling
peaches, apples or anything of that
kind being dropped on the floor
that would stain the floor, or in any
way mar the beauty of this building
and if any one does these things, if
you will report it to me, he will pay
for it. pay for the time it takes to
clean it and rep.iu it, he will -uffci
for it by cleaning it up himself or
pavins seme one cl^e ?o do so.
Now, gentlemen the grand jury. [
it is not necessary for me to, and I
do n<-t intend to no over the entire
criminal law with you, because it ?<i
familiar to you. a'id you do not
have to depend on i !i? * diarfiw of the
court alone to kno*-. what tlie law is
c?i:d what \oiir di:l\ is. when you
have newspa | mt? a?v.l everybody
reads th?? newspapt- j and are lami
ii!.?r with the law n?'W. There was i
time when there w-ro not so many
papers read when me people would
came to court to hear the charge to
the grand jury, and that was where
they learned most of the law and
find out about the la vs of the coun
try, hut that isn't so now. there are
plenty of newspapers in the co -n!\
and plenty of crime goin? on, and
they learn enough through them to
know what their dut\ is without de
pending on the charge alone, except
now and then when the Legislature
makes and passes some extra laws,
new laws, making <ertain things
crimes that are not known to the
people, so I will go over some of
them :
When the Solicitor sends a hillj
to you, it is not your province to
pass on whether it is a violation of
the law or not, that isn't your pro
vince at all; it is your duty to ex
amine the facts, and if the evidence
shows probable cause that a man
ought to be prosecuted .it would be I
your duty then to return a true bill
whether you think it is a violation
of the law or not; that is a question

Tom Horny lost to Gene Tunney

we call breaking all traditions.
