RgcoRpER WrLrz. OF the Second Distr;c. has !,
raised an issue with the Chief OF Police. Mr.. Adams
on point OF Jurisdiction. I
On Monday night respectable and respons,b,e :
citizen OF the Second District called upon the Chief
and asked release for several vounp men friends AZ
bs who had been locked nm for trivial disturbance Of
the peace. He said be had been to Recorder Wltz's
residence, but that the Recorder being sbed had re-
fused to pet up, Upon bis standing security for the
appearance of the Young men before the Recorder in
the morning. the Chief wrote release. and the nrs
oners were let ont They anneared nunctnalv before
the Recorder on Tuesday morning and had their CAGE
attended to az usual in such cases.
After the CAGE WAS disposed Of the Recorder. hay.
ing found that the prisoners had been released by the
Chief issued warrant for the arrest Of that officer
for contemnt Of his authority in releasing prisoners
whom he had refused to release. The officer who |
had the warrant notified the Chief of the fact. but
did mt see oroner tn arrest him Yesterday morning
the Chief employed counsel, and went before the |
Recorder and surrendered himself. The Recorder |
was much ;neensed at what he considered a delhi.
crate trampling upon his authority. The examine
ton of the Chief, on the charge of contempt was |
fixed for to-day at o'clock.
This is matter which strikes US with considerable
surprise The Chief Of Police has the right, and con-
stanty exercises it, Of releasing parties arrested upon
trivial charges, whenever responsible friends Of those
parties stand surety for their appearance before the
Recorder. The Chief is the controller of the lock-
ups through his general Iieutenants and is RESPONSE
BILE to the Recorders for the appearance Of all prison
ers arrested. If any prisoner prisoners should fail
| To- for thn tn
of the Chief and bring him to account; but not
before The Recorders nave the right also TO release
prisoners before final assignment but the right is
hv M means an exclusive one. The Recorders of all
