Circuit court convened on Monday and after disposing of some civil cases adjourned until Wednesday morning, on which day James Whittaker was tried for the murder of his stepfather, John Grady, and acquitted, the proof showing that Grady threatened to kill him and made demonstrations pointing to the execution of the threat. The grand jury adjourned finally on Wednesday after serving seven days. They returned 21 indictments, nearly all of which are for misdemeanors. John Kersey, who shot Henry Beazley, who is in a critical condition, was indicted for malicious shooting and wounding, with intent to kill. Court adjourned Wednesday afternoon until Friday. The fact that there is but little business before the court speaks well for Garrard county and the court, which keeps up with the work.
