Special officers who had been duty Wednesday night looked like walking arsenals as they returned from their long vigil, and new watch- have gone on, the authorities not relaxing their vigilance, as the infor mation they had received convinced them that a murderous plot of the most desperate character had been formed, and that the outlaws and others who formed -he gang were determined carry out their program of destruction if they had opportunity. They consid er the situation serious, and while they do not reveal the sources of their Information, yet their own attitude In this matter has made Us Impression pn citizens generally, as the commis sioners are persons of a type not given to hysterics or exaggeration. Up to this hour there has not been the slightest disorder of consequence .The last crime, the slaying of Sidney H. Odom, a suburban merchant, Tues day night, remains a mystery so far as the Identity of his assailants Is con cerned, but it seems to have been a plain case of attempted robbery, and to have no connection with the whole sale crime program planned by twelve men In Rlverdale cemetery last Tubs day night, and whose plotting Is known In detail to the city authorities. When the grand jury met yesterday, Judge George P. Munro, in charging the body, said that when be was in formed Wednesday by city commis sioners that there was evidence that certain desperadoes had formed a con spiracy to make an attack on the homes of certain city officials, his first thought was of the grand jury, knowing that it could render prompt and practical assistance in this emer gency. Discussing the responsibilities of grand Juries, he said he considered Its functions as the most important branch of the Jury system. The Judge said this Jury would continue In ser vice, subject to call, until a new grand Jury was organized In February. Following the judge's brief charge, Frank G. Lumpkin, foreman of the grand jury, said that the grand jury as a body had been much mortified at having a comparatively few of the criminal element in Columbus adver tise to the world that this apparently lawless community, when really this Is not true, the percentage of law violations in this county being com-, paratlvely small and not to be con-j sldered as abnormal. Mr. Lumpkin; stated that every step taken by the grand jury In this situation is by 1 unanimous agreement of members of the body. The grand Jury then went Into private session. It is understood that the body Is In possession of the; names of twelve men alleged to have! formed the party of plotters In River- 1 side cemetery. No Indictments were returned yesterday, and it is under-; stood that the grand Jury will consid-1 er the matter further before taking action. There is popular conjecture to whether the information received by the city commissioners regarding the plot to blow up property extremely confidential in character that it cannot be used in the sworn testimony.
