VOL. XXIV.
First Week Superior Court
Has Been Very Busy One.
i
Montgomery Superior Court, con- [
v«ned hero Monday morning in
its regular November Term ses-j
Him:, with Judge Martin presiding
and Solicitor Graham looking
alter the State’s interest.
The grand jury organized by
electing lion. Douglas S. McAr- j
thur foreman.
Judge Martin delivered to the
grand jury one of bis aide and ,
characteristic charges, and Tues
day called the body back to in-,
struct them more fully on the
law of gambling and violat ions of
law with reference to running
near beer saloons. He told them
that it’ any person, even if he had
a license from th*-* state to run a
near beer saloon, sold any bevel'-;
age that was intoxicating, it was
in violation of the prohibition
law even though the seller did not
know that it would produce drun
kenness*; and that he was not only J
liable to indictment by the grand
jury, hut that any citizen would
have the right to have such person !
enjoined Ivy bill of injunction
from selling any further, and such
person would forfeit his license.
The grand jury has been dili
gently at work on the matters
coming to their knowledge and up
to the present have returned quite!
a number of indictments.
Probably the most important
ease to come before the jury for i
investigation at this session is
that of Gillis and Walker for cut
ting Jim Gillig at Alamo some
time ago, from the efleets of which j
dun Gillis died in Savannah.
The court has been busily en
gaged in trying civil matters this I
week, and quite a number of cases I
have been disposed of; but it is j
not likely that the civil docket
will be cleared at this term, on j
account of a large amount of bus
iness transferred from the City .
Court to tbo Superior.
Next week the criminal docket.
■will be taken up, and it is likely
that the most, of the week will be j
consumed in trying jail cases, as
there are quite a number m jail.
Probably the most important
criminal cases to be trn-d this
court will be the one against Jor
dan Swain, and one against oii 1 i.->
and Walker, these being two mur-j
dm - eases m which the parties aroi
in jail. Then there is another,
murder case or two against neg- 1
roes in which the parties are in ,
jml, which will be for trial next i
week.
