Special Dispatch to The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., April §.—That too many of the policemen and deputy sheriffs of the county spend their time at the Rockville courthouse inetead of ziving attention to the more remote parts of the county is a charge con- tained in the report of the grand jury which mat in special session here y terday to consider especially the case against Elizabeth M. King, 19-vear-old girl of Woodmont. She was twice in- dicted for first-degree murder as a re- sult of the deaths of her two new-born babies. The report also called attention to the failure of a bench warrant to be served on a resident of the county charged WEDNESDAY with a liquor violation, and character- ized it as a “gross neglect of duty.” The repoft recommended that the deputies and police be organized under one head for the purpose of fixing re- sponsibility and for closer co-operation in investigation of crime, and the county commissioners urged to designate an officer for assignment to the State at- torney’s office as a special investigator. | EGAN MUST SERVE YEAR.
