Editor of The News:
The March term of the Casey circuit court, began on Monday March the 3rd, 1913. The docket is rather heavy for the present term, and will probably consume the entire two weeks.
Judge Carter delivered very strong instructions to the Grand Jury.
On the docket there are 154 old commonwealth cases, on charges of misdemeanors, and 42 appearances, indictments found at the last term of the court. On the criminal docket there are 20 felony cases 5 of which will likely be tried at the present term.
Mr. F. A. Land, the circuit Clerk, had his work up in fine shape, ready for court, and also the Sheriff, W. T. Brown, had all his papers executed where the parties could be found in the county, and was ready when court convened.
The Equity and ordinary dockets contain about the usual number of cases and doubtless most of them will be disposed of at the present term.
