What the Grand Jury Thinks of County Affairs It is generally supposed that honest men under a cloud, not only submit willingly to an investigation, but that they demand the same, and aid it in every way possible to clear their fair names. Such a spirit of fairness and honor, and any disposition to clamor for the restoration of unclouded reputations have been notably conspicuous by their absence, and while we believe that most of the witnesses in this matter have told the truth, we are satisfied of a per- sistent and systematic endeavor to conceal the whole truth. We believe that vigorous and able prosecutions of the indictments we have brought will result in the conviction of the guilty parties, and the vindication of the innocent, if such there be, and to this end we recommend that the county spare no expense to employ the best of legal talent to assist the prosecuting attorney in this work, which is necessarily too great for one man to attend to properly.
