(Itettjr Record n«t«) NO. 248 County Court Assailed In Dispositions The Harnett County Grand Jury today made a sweeping indictment of the county recorder’s court. “We are informed that a large amount of fines and forfeitures of the Harnett County Recorder's Court should be collected , and turned over to the school fund.” The grand jury report pointed out that “a startling number of cases have been nol - pressed” and said they also found” a number of drunken driving cases have been disposed of by accepting the lesser plea of careless and reckless driv ing without first hearing the State’s evidence and that an unduly large number of cases on file to be tried, one of which, for driving under the influence of whiskey, has been on file since May of 1953.” The grand jury report said a committee has been appointed to investigate these matters and re port at the next term of court. Names of he committeemen were not disclosed. FOREMAN DECLINES COMMENT Foreman Prince declined any comment, declaring, “The report * peaks for itself." Another member of the grand juit fconffi-med that (he drunken driving case referred to was that of Foreman County Auditor Sted man McLean. NEVER TRIED FOR DD This is .one of three cases of drunken driving brought against McLean, One drunken driving case against McLean was thrown out without trial; another was disposed of by acceptance of a lesser plea; and the other case has never been brought to trial. McLean was arrested three times within two years for driving drunk and has never been tried for the offense. Following the suggest of Judge Clawson Williams the grand Jury also Investigated reports of county magistrates, and asked the clerk of court to turn over a detailed re port of all magistrates’ records in January. REPORTS DEMANDED The grand Jury report said the office of court clerk had been examined and that a number of administrators and guardians have failed—and to some cases have re fused—to Ole reports as required by law. All are being ordered to reported to the grand Jury to January. Records show that the bonds of administrators and guardians have been properly filed and are cur rent. The grand Jurors reported that county school Buses are in excell ent condition and had high praise for C. H. Hood, county maintenance chief.
