erable time was then given to examin
ing Col. Sam Hunter, ot th Illinois
national guard who was In closer
toush with th actual conditions on
ths first day of th riot than Sheriff
Thaxton. who had been called away
to Carbondala. ,
Th first civilian called before th
grand Jury, after ' Coroner William
McCowa, had been examined, was T.
A Cox, a hardware merchant from
whose store a mob forcibly took a
quantity of ammunition. R had
oven warned of the forming of the
mob and had removed his rlflles and
other weapons from th store, he
testified en previous occasions, but
on th evening preceding th battle
all ammunition waa taken from th
store after a mob had forced him to
open his place of business. His son.
Harry, followed him Into the. grand
Jury room. .
In addressing th grand jury.
Judge Hartwell pointed out that a

and left th selection ot th Jury
to th state's attorney.
It Is a matter ot common knowl
edge," th judge stated, "that we
have been charged with being In
league with. crime and criminals, that
all of the public officials have been
cowed and intimidated, - that th
county board would select - men aa
grand Jurors, If w waited for th
regular Jerra of court, and would not
Indict any person, regardless of th
evidence thst might be produced.
The sheriff has been charged with
a gross failure ot duty and every of
ficial of the community in general
has been branded as one great bodv
of law-breakers. The officials have
been pictured aa members of a vicious
political machine, placed ln office and
kept in power by th votes of a IVw.

Inform you that the shsrIS volun
tarily consented to atep aside, and to
havs nothing to do with th selection
ot this special grand Jury. He has
voluntarily consented to annoint anch

The sheriff took the position that
regardless of what he might do. he
would b charged with th failure of
duty, and I think It Is not out of
place tor me to say right hero that
the deputy sheriffs havs all been se
lected by th state's attorney, with
