WORK HOUSE SCANDAL
COMES UP AGAIN.
The Grand Jury Was Not Far
Wrong in Their Recommenda
r
tions to the Commissioners.
It seems that the grand jury of
the December term of Durham
Superior Court were not far wrong
when tbey said in their report:
"We also find that one of the
prisoners, Valley Trice, is pregnant,
and recommend the County Com
missioners to investigate the matter
at once."
The Commissioners made an offi
cial visit to the County Home and
investigated the rumors that had
been afloat, and tried to get tht.
strait of how the grand jury arrived
at their conclusions in regard to the
matter.
Chairman Allen said at that time
the Board would not say whether
the Trice woman was in the condi
tion as stated in the grand jury'
report or not. Tbey could not say
definitely as to that.
In their report, the Commissioners
said in part: "We fear the grand
ury was not careful enough 10 mati
ng such charges. They will please
give us the information that enabled
them to arrive at their conclusions.
Several weeks ago the report about
Valley 1 rice was whispered around
We requested the county health
officer, Dr. N. M. Johnson, to go
out to the home and find out how
much of the report was true Uf
was unable to decide. She is very
fleshy, fat as a pig, and has been
or years, r lease give us, Mr.
Latta, the evidence upon which you
based your recommendations.
The Trice woman is the mother
of a new arrival at the county work
house. Who was right the grand
ury or the Commissioners? It
seems that the former either knew
what tbey were talking about or
else were the best guessers. The
matter has culminated just as a
majority of the people thought it
would..
There may be further action taken
in regard to the matter, and there
hould be for the good name of the
county. Why not have an investi
gation that will investigate, and
turn on all the light? We shall see
what we shall see.
