Crime Reduced EARLY COUNTY GRAND JURORS COMMEND JUDGE YEGMANS FOR AIGH STAND. “Ons investigation in to matters of various infractions of law in the different sections of the county has led us to the conclusion that crime is less prevalent in for mer years, and that our citizens as a whole are making real strides along the line of moral elevation. However, there still remains among some of our prominent citi zens that spirit of condoning atid screening criminals, particularly in the violation of the prohibition law, which without a doubt in the mind of this body is the greatest evil with which we have to com bat. Our boys and girls of tender years are sometime dragged into shame and debauchery by the boot-legger and shine-mokere who are allowed to peddle their wares. We desire to thank Hie Honor, Judge M. J. Yeomans, for bis able charge to this body, end oom mend him for bis vigorous stand for the elevation of mankind to high planes of living.”—From General Presentments April Term 1926*.
