Judge Alley's Charge To
Hay wood Grand Jury
P. D. Deaton Takes
Over Ga. Printery
P. D. Deaton, forermly co-publisher
of The Mountaineer, left Wednes
day morning for Gainesvillei Ga.,
where he has taken over a commercial
printing plant, and will operate it.
Mr. Deaton came to Waynesville
about 18 months ago from Johnson
City, Tenn., and cecame a partner in
The Mountaineer. He sold hi's inter
st in this paper last May.
Judge Felix Alley in his charge to
the grand jury Monday morning, held
the members of that body as well as
the vast throng that filled the court
room to capacity, as he set out the
duty of the grand jury and defined
four common crimes perjury, seduc
tion, slander and prohibition. In his
usual manner of delivery, Judge
Alley impressed on his hearers the
folly of crime and sin. So forcefully
did he bring his charge that only a
few of his hundreds of listeners real
ized that it consumed more than an
hour.' ,
The Mountaineer is printing a few
of the paragraphs from trie charge:
"You hae a two-fold duty to per
form nn. to the state, or to the pc
pie as a whole to see that parties
against whom there is just ground to
chartre the commission of crime shall
be held to answer the charge, and on
the other hand the duty to the citi
zen to see that he is not subjected
to persecution upon accusations hav
ing no better foundation than public
clamor or private vengeance.
"The peace, the good order, the
morality and well-being of the com
munity depend in a large measure
upon your diligence, intelligence and
integrity of purpose, for, on the one
hand, it is your duty to disregard
trivial-offenses brought to this court
for the purpose of persecution and
vengenance, and on the other hand,
that you bring to
; who have been
infractions of the
it is impertrtive
justice all those
guilty of serious
law. ''
"One of the crimes of the baser
sort, and Which s of more frequent
occurrence'. than' almost any other, is
the crime of perjury. We come in
contact with it at every court, and no
where does it have a greater power
for harm. .
"The perjurer comeis to Court with
his brightly varnished tale, trained
and .much practiced, and with skill
that would adorn a better cause, acts
the part of a martyr to the truth,
end here, in this temple, where blind
justice is supposed to sit to weigh
all matters with her even-handed
scales, justice is thwarted and per
ishes amid her worshippers, all be
cause some unconscionable person is
willing to swear a lie.
"In all the great civilizations of
the past, the crime of perjury was
looked upon as one of the meanest.
"In North Carolina perjury is a
felony within the definition of an
infamous crime and is punishable in
the state's prison for a term of yeara,
and -when guilty, the perjury merits
the severest condemnation of the law.
"Another crime of all too common
occurrence and which merits the
severest punishment for those who
are guilty of it, is the seduction of
