DISTRICT JUDGE GARDNER DE
LIVERS STRONG CHARGE TO
GRANDJURY RELATIVE TO THE
HECENT RACE TROUBLE
Yesterday afternoon District Judge
B H Gardner delivered the following
charge to the grand jury held over by
him to investigate the disturbance at
Slocum
Gentlemen When you were inipan
eled I called your respectful atten-
tion to the oath that you had taken
rand the special part I called your at
tention to was as follows You shall
present no personal envy hatred or
malice neither shall you leave any
person unpresented for love favor
affection or hope of reward but you
shall present things truly as they
come to your knowledge according to
3our understanding so help you God
At the time of that oath none of
us dreamed or thought that anything
jjwouid happen before you were dis
harged equal to what has happened
Nobody anticipated any such trouble
And when you were about to be
discharged last Saturday it was sup-
posed that you wereabout through
with your duties but news coming of
this great trouble in the southeastern
part of the county has caused me to
have you come back and especially to
investigate that affair and it is a kind
of a case that this oath especially ap-
plies to
Provision For Excuse
All of you are white men and I
piesume all of you are southern men
and it is your duty now to investigate
the killing and murder of a large
number of negroes say of at least
esht and possibly ten or twelve or
more who have been killed in the
southeastern part of your county by
ien of jour colon Now if there is
in on that Jury that feels he is
al to the occasion to live up to
px why if it was an original
tion and the jury was just be
ized and had not been sworn
Jould suggest to him that he
jw and ask to be excused so
other could be put on the
but al8R 3 M JHte i > een SWOTir

wlu an it would be n embarrassing
Hu atitmld asITto
> eexcusa J v t S jury but if there
3s anyman on that jury who cannot
live up to that oath he should ask the
foreman to excuse him from the jury
while it is investigating this case
Hew to the Line
I take it gentlemen that all of
you appreciate the situation and rec
ognlze the fact that this state and
county have been greatly humiliated
and disgraced by the affair that has
just taken place in ths county and if
ever a grand jury was called on to
to the line and let the chips fall
where they may this is the time and
1 I want to tell you that you cannot af-
ford to do anything else than make a
thorough Investigation and indict
every man that is shown to have been
guilty of participating in that affair
4u any manner I may call to your at
tention
Various Statutes
Now I am going to read you sev
eral statutes to show how people may
be connected with that affair I will
not read the law of murder because
you are already familiar with that
Juage Gardner read the statutes
pertainng to the law on conspiracy
after which he said
V So you see gentlemen a man does
St have to be present to be guilty
Sconspiracy He does not have to
ually take part in the offense In
lis connection you have read various
Its just as
good as
XUZIANNE1
Let no such

rumors that there had been conspir-
acies and threats on the part of the
colored people or negroes to do vio-
lence or commit murder perhaps
and you should give that matter thor-
ough investigation and if there is any
evidence that there is any person
guilty of that offense you should re-
turn bills
Regulating Threats
So there is another offense the
threat to take life Judge Gardner
here read the statute pertaining to
threats
I call attention to threats and con-
spiracies for two reasons That if any
threat had been previously made
against any white person or against
negroes investigation should have
been made and indictments returned
if any I also want to say that even
if there had been such threats or con-
spiracies on the part of any number
of negroes to do violence to white
persons it would not justify anybody
to take the law in their own hands
The law furnishes ample remedy and
it would be no excuse for shooting
down anybody that had made a threat
or entered into a conspiracy but the
men should have come up and had
them arrested and piosecuted for
threats or conspiracy I do not know
that there has been anything of that
sort but in such cases as this there
are always such claims as that but
that is no justification for shooting
men in the back waylaying or shoot-
ing them in their houses It cannot
justify any violence committed by
these parties
Now I will read to you the law
with regard to principals and accom-
plices
After reading the law mentioned
Judge Gardner continued Now gen
tlemen I do not undertake to fore
stall your investigation as to facts
Of course you will have all the wit-
nesses before you You will have the
district attorney to assist you and
after today I understand you will have
the assistant attorney general Hon
John A Mobley of Athens at the in
stance of the governor also to assist
you in the investigation and you will
have the necessary bailiffs at your
command to have the necessary wit-
nesses to come before you that may
throw any light on this matter
In conclusion I want to emphasize
the fact that I regard this affair the
most damaging that could happen n
the county that it is a disgrace not
only to the county but to the state
and it is up to this jury to do its
full duty in the premises
Gentlemen you may retire

around and argue politics and the
new court house Crops are fine
only they look backward to one who
was raised in Southern Texas The
farmers have had a hard time here
trying to get their wheat threshed
and ha > saied on account of so much
rain It was damaged a great deal
before any or it could be saved We
aie having some awful hot weather
here which goes very hard with the
people especially w th one who is
crippled I got my fot mashed verj
bad the sixteentli of June and have
not walked a step since I can hob
ble about a little on my crutches but
it causes wo great pain to let my
J foot hang down I have been a sub

several jears and it is always a
welcome visitor in my home I will
