Judge's Charge
To Jury
(Continued from Page One)
report, and the public is entitled to
know because it pays for it.
Duty To Public
"The public is entitled to know
the true condition cf every office
in the county”, said the judge.
“The person in jail is entitled to
a sanitary and comfortable place
to remain during imprisonment,
and the grand jury is the only
one who can help him. The same
applies to the road camp, and to
the persons in the county home,
he charged the jurors.
School children are looking to
the grand jury to see that the
school buses are safe and in good
mechanical condition, was another
point stressed by Judge Harris, and
also that they have the proper
school buildings, etc.
Judge Harris explained the dif
ference in a true bill and a “not
true” bill. He instructed the body
to always have 12 members to pass
on all bills, and said that on cap
ital bills the grand jury was to
come into the court as a body to
report but on all others the fore
, man delivers the findings of the
i iiirv.
He told the jurors to examine
only witnesses listed on the back
of bills of indictment, and check
each one off with ink as they were
examined. One witness may be
enough for returning a true bill,
he stated, but added that every
witness must be examined before
returning “not a true bill”.
Warns Secrecy
Admonishing the grand jurors to
keep their deliberations secret,
Judge Harris instructed them as to
investigations to be pursued—the
Clerk of Court’s office, the Reg
ister of Deeds, the Sheriff’s office,
and each and every other county
office, the jail, county home, and
school buses. As to the latter he
told the jurors to get a mechanic
who knew how to check the buses
and make a record of their con
dition, as it is a great responsibilitj
to have them ready before schools
open.
In their investigations the jurors
were told to find out what had beer
done about back taxes, listing foi
taxes, etc., to look into forfei
bonds, judgments entered in cases
I —
and executions of judgments issued.
“The enforcement of traffic laws
is important," Judge Harris added,
“and reckless and careless driving
should be prosecuted”. The high
way patrol should be backed up
and encouraged by the court to
enforce the traffic laws, he said,
and cited instances to clarify what
he meant. All officers are to be
encouraged and backed up in their
war on crime by the court, he said.
In concluding his charge, Judge
Harris told the grand jury to watch
out for perjury and to prosecute it.
“Bring in all bills promptly," he
said, and pointed out the effect
such action would have to deter
breaking of the laws.
The jury was instructed to get
the reports of the last grand jury
and see if its recommendations had
been carried out.
Grand Jury
Terms of grand jurors in the
county are “staggered" so that ex
perienced jurors will always be
members of the body, and serving
during the current term of court
are eight new members and nine
old members from the previous
group. Those who have served
before are Clyde Ranhorn, C. L.
Turner, J. O. Whitehead, J. R.
iTwisdale, J. D. Pittard, J. H. Hux,
J. C. Pegram R. E. Cleaton, Jr.,
J. P. Carlyle, and the new members
are Russell Weeks, Curtis Hardee,
James Madry, R. C. Shields, J. D.
Smith, P. B. Ausborn, A. P. Ellis,
G. W. Phillips.
Tourney Play
For Softball
District Here
(Continued from Page One)
windmiller, who has pitched four
victories over the Romancos, is not
a bit modest in predicting that
Rocky Mount will represent Dis
trict One at Raleigh. In an inter
view last week Coley said “If my
control is working, I’ll win the
district tournament for Rocky
Mount”.
Doug Hackney, who pitched a
2-1 victory over the Romancos
earlier in the season and has one
victory over Red Coley, predicts a
victory for Wilson in the tourna
ment. “We are going to Raleigh,”
says Doug.
The Romancos, sticking to their
usual policy of not making pre
game predictions, had this to say
thru Coach Bill Alligood, “Win,
lose or draw, we will have no ali
bis. According to reports Rocky
; Mount and Wilson both are going
j to win the tournament so evident
ly we haven’t a chance”.
If Wilson defeats Rocky Mount
Tuesday night and then defeats the
Romancos in the second game, then
Rocky Mount and Roanoke Rapids
will play Wednesday night; in oth
er words, losers will play losers and
winners will play winners.
Ail three teams will be in there
scrapping from the opening gong
for a chance to go to Raleigh the
following week for the State Tour
nament. Winner of the State title
will go to Detroit in September for
the National Tournament.
