When the Grand Jury has re
turned true bills to the court, the
defendants named in the bill are
summoned to trial. In many cases
guilty pleas are entered. Other
defendants maintain a plea ot
“not guilty” and choose to be
tried by jury, a right given every
defendant. The State law provides
that the Court cannot accept a
guilty plea from a defendant ac
cused of a crime involving capital
punishment. He must be tried by
jury, and, .if the defendant is not
financially able to secure legal
counsel, the Court must appoint
lawyers to serve in his behalf in
order that the defendant may
have every advantage granted un
der the law. These court appointed
attorneys serve without pay and

Supreme Court, also without pay.
A number of persons are essen
tial in the business of the court.
The Solicitor of the judicial cir-
cuit, who is elected by the people
each four years, prosecutes the
cases for the State, sometimes
aided by special counsel. He may
call upon any peace officer for
help and information necessary in
the prosecution. The 8th circuit
Solicitor is William T. Jones, of
Greenwood.
There is a requirement that no
trial case may be heard unless
verbatim testimony in the trial is
taken by a court reporter. The
8th circuit reporter, appointed by
the resident judge for an indefi
nite period, is Meredith Harmon
a stenotypist, who takes proceed
ings of all jury trials in the four
counties of the 8th circuit.
Other officials helping in the
smooth operations of the court
are the Clerk of Court, Charles
Bowers and his assistant, Burke
Wise; the bailiffs, who help main
tain order and keep an eye on
members of the petit jury who
have been chosen to try a case;
members of the Sheriff’s force
who see that defendants and
witnesses are at court at the
proper time, and the probation
officer, Roy Stutts, who has
charge of, and must keep tabs on
every defendant who is placed on
probation by the judge’s sentence.
When a case goes to trial be
fore a petit jury, 12 men are cho
sen to serve as jurors. In selecting
the jurors, the State is allowed
five and each defendant ten
“peremptory” challenges, which
u^eans declining to accept a pros
pective juror without giving v a
reason. Any juror may be ruled
lout by either side for gocfd cause,
V«uch as prejudice in the case,
close family or business ties, etc.
When a jury is finally selected
and sworn* the jurors hear all
testimony which the judge allows
to go in the record. At the end of
the testimony and summation of
the case by attorneys for each
side, the judge “charges” the
jury; tells the jurors of their
duty in the case, of the law ap
plicable to the charges in the
case, and of the form of verdict
that may be rendered. The jury
retires behind closed doors after
the judge’s charge and deliber
ates. No verdict may be rendered
until all 12 men agree, and in the
event they cannot agree, the
judge declares a mistrial in the
case.
In the event of a conviction, if
the defendant is not satisfied with
the verdict, he may serve notice
of appeal to the State Supreme
Court. He is given a certain time
to perfect his appeal and bring
it before that body. The circuit
judge, in his discretion, has the
right to grant a defendant a new
trial if he feels that the verdict
of the jury does not conform to
the evidence in the case. This is
a right that is seldom exercised by
a judge.
It is a further duty of a circuit
judge to pronounce sentence on
those defendants who plead guil
ty or are found guilty by a jury.
While in a few instances the sen
tence is mandatory, such as exe
cution for first degree murder and
life imprisonment for first degree
murder with recommendation by
the jury to the mercy of the
court, most sentences set up by
statute give the judge wide dis
cretion in pronouncing the sen
tence. There are a number of
things he takes into consideration
before doing this; the circum
stances under which the crime oc
curred and the defendant’s pre
vious record, If any, have much
bearing on the sentence imposed.
Much can be learned by attend
ing court sessions. Law officials
encourage the public to attend
court and learn how the wheels
of justice grind.

Speaking of roaches, I talked
with City Manager Ed Blackwell
again this week about the War
on Roaches suggested in this
column last week. Mr. Blackwell
tells me that while he cannot go
forward with a program to ex
terminate roaches on city prop
erty until council authorizes it,
that he is making tests to see
what will be most effective in
ridding the city of the pests. .One
question that occurred to me was
whether there would be danger
in using roach poison on city
property. He assured me there
would be no danger; that the, aiadloli
powder or spray, whichever ia| ^ JL_
determined to be more effective,,
would be put in sanitary sewers,
storm drains and covered boxes
which house water meters. “We
can’t use anything that would be
dangerous,” he said, ’because our
men have to work around these
places, especially in the water
meter boxes, and the pplson we
use to exterminate the roaches
will not be harmful to humans.”
City council meets again on July
12 and we hope they will author
ize the program then, if not be
fore.
In a lovely ceremony taking
place at 5:30 Sunday afternoon,
June 26, in the McKeen Hutchin
