The Fort Smith Times Record
in commenting on our stating
that the Benton grand jury re- j
turned 84 true bills, says,“That ;
they didn’t know that people up j
here were so wicked ” In order |
to vindicate the good people o> j
this county we will say that in
most states the bulk of these
bills returned, would have been
handled by a local justice of the
peace instead of a grand jury.
_Sulphur Springs Record. That
is the condition all over the state
and grand juries consume time
and run up big bills of costs. It
is not the fault of the juries so
much as the faut of the system.
In some counties the difficulty
is obviated by the juries ignor
| ing all cases that have not been
turned over to them by the jus
tices.—Fort Smith Times Rec
