Mull, prosperous farm er of Wake Forest township, as laborers without pay. the Wake county grand jury in its report to Judge Frank Daniels yesterday recommended that the men be taken from Mull’s custody and placed with, some other citizens or in some in ■" smut ion. * The three men are: Harley Olgrk, 28, and Ethel Clark. 26. white brothers of Cleveland county, who were secured by Mull from the Caswell Training School, aund Will Boyd, negro, of Cleveland county. Mull came to Wake several years ago from Cleveland County. The ffieiy work on the farm and are not of such a low type of mentality that they are unable to do good labor. The ne gro who appeared to be of lower type than the two white men to the grand jurors takes care of the two white men. Immediately after the report was made ■ E. T.Toyd Tilley, assistant clerk of .the mart, got in touch With Mr. C. Banks MeNairy. .Huperinfpndeut of the Catswelt , Training School, who ordered the sheriff to take the two white Soys and return them to the fiistittttion. At the same tilde a nordpr was issued requiring Mull til appear before Judge Daniels Friday morning at 16:30 with the negro man and show cause why the negro should not be-sent to the county home. . ' “On Friday, May Ist. a committee visited the home of Mr. J. C. Mull, in Wake Forest township,” the grand jury report states, “for the purpose of inves tigating the conditions surrounding three feyble-wfnded men. This committee re ported conditions to be such that called for an investigation of tile grand jury as a whole. Accordingly, on Monday. May 4fb. we visited the, home of Mr. Mull.

In the winter the two white men and ®te lidgro man occupy the same sleeping room, but we are informed" by Mr. Mull that the negro occupies a separate room in the sAniner. In view of the eofHtTtdns which we found. five recommend that these men be taken from Mr. Mull’s cus tody and that they be either placed with some other citizen or citizens in the coun ty or admitted to the state institutions provided for the care of these so 'afflict ed." The information concerning the condi tion of the men was brought to the grand jury by citizens and hot officials. Methodist Church Vniflratibn plan Ap pears Doomed. Minneapolis, Minn.. Aiay 7.
