Report of the grand jury to
District Judge C. E. Brazil, dated

f It follows:
/To the Honorable C. E. Brail,
District Judge, Second Judicial
District of Texas, in Cherokee
County:
We, the Grand Jurors for the
) January term, A. D. 1937, of the
District Court of Cherokee county,
'Texas, beg leave to make the fol-
lowing report:
We have been in sesion eight
days and have diligently inquired
' into all alleged law violations that
have come to our attention. We
have found and returned thirty-
nine (39) felony indictmp"t« and
no misdemeanor indictments. We
have devoted practically all of our
rtime while in session to the in-
vestigation of offenses of the
grade of felony, in compliance
with the instructions given us by
Your Honor and referred all mis-
demeanor violations to the offi-
cers and County Attorney for
their attention where their atten-
tion has not already been called
to same.
We have inspected the County
Jail and have found the same in
as good state of repair and as
clean and sanitary as it is possible
to keep same, when the age and
type of construction of the jail is
considered.
We have made a thorough in-
spection of the Court House and
grounds, and have found the
Court House in a good state of
repair and well kept and clean.
We have inspected the Rusk
State Hospital and find that it
is maintained and kept in excel-
lent condition under the manage-
ment and supervision of its effi-
cient superintendent, Dr. William

Thomas, and his assistants, al-
though that institution is over
crowded. Dr. Thomas and his as-
sistants are doing everything pos-
sible for the proper care and
treatment of the inmates intrust-
ed to them. In this connection we
desire to express our appreciation
to Dr. Thomas and his assistants
for their very kind hospitality
and courtesies extended us on our
recent visit to that institution. We
trust that those to whom the
power belongs will see that that
institution is provided sufficient
appropriations for the needed en-
largement of the Hospital as much
needs are made known to them.
We wish to thank the Sheriff,
Mr. Bill Brunt, and his deputies,
tnd the Grand Jury Riding Baliffs
and the Grand Jury Door Baliff
for their cooperation and assis-
tance so splendidly given, in all
the work which has come before
us. Those officers have been dili-
gent in the discharge of their sev-
eral duties, and we invite the co-
operation of the citizenship of
Cherokee county with the law en-

foi cement officers to the end that
we might have a better law en-
forcement in this county.
We wish elso to extend our ap-
preciation to the District Attor-
ney, Mr. Musslewhite, and our
County Attorney, Mr. Lewis, for
their splendid and loyal cooper-
ation and legal advise in regard
to our work. We have found all
of these gentlemen efficient in
their work and desire to commend
them for the splendid way in
which they have handled their
work both in the Grand Jury
room and in the District Court
room during this term of court.
We feel that, although each of
these gentlemen is serving their
first term in his respective office,
our Court work has been speedily
and efficiently discharged by
them and that those gentlemen
deserve the cooperation and sup-
port of the law abiding citizens
of Cherokee county in their ef-
forts against law violation in this
county.
We wish also to heartily com-
mend our District Judge for his
faithful and efficient work in con-
nection with his Court in this
county. He has always been fair
and considerate of the jurors and
witnesses, as well as all litigants
appearing before him.
We have finished the investiga-
tion of all matters that have come
to our attention and believe that
it would be useless for us to re-
main in session longer. We, there-
fore, ask Your Honor to dis-
charge us from further service
during this term of Court.
