CORRUPTION IN PLEASANT PLAI: .
TOWNSHIP INVESTIGATED IN OOURT.-
On Wednesday last, William WOOD
&. NJ. G. Ross, Ju,lson North and James
B. Taylor were arrested by Sheriff
Grant, on a warrant issued by Ci,yait
Judge Wheeler, and charged with Evil
fully and corruptly drawing and iss,l-
ing township orders for purpose not
authorized by law" The complaint
was made by Harley Hazcn, one ofthe
most respected citizens Of the township
and the main point In the case rested
upon the alleged ground of issuing con-
tingent orders In the place If highway
orders. The action was commcnccd
under Act No. l8l, Section 8, page I50
Public Acts of Michigan, 1875, which
I reads as follows:
SEC. 3. Any officw who shall wilfully
or cOrruptiy draw or issue amy warrant,
order, or certificate for the payment of
money In excess Of tire amount author
lied by law, or for a purpose net .au-
thOrized by law, shall be deemed guilty

rs provided in the preceding section.
The penalty referred to above Is IA
ffncnot texceeding one thollsstnd dollars,
or imprisonment in the county Jail not
exceeding sixmonths, or both such fine
and imprisonment I'm the discretion of,
the court: Prooided, That nothing I'm
this act contained shall prevent pros
ecution under the general ,statute for
embezzlement in cases where the facts
warrant a prosecution under such gen.
eral statute"
The preliminary examination con-
tinued until Tuesday evening, when
the Judge bound the respondents over
to the July term of Circuit Court In the
sum Of $500 each. We shall give our
readers full report of the testimony
as 1t will be given in Circuit Court, and |
until then we will withhold our com-
ments, merely saying that The case
appears strong one, or q gentleman
of Judge Wheeler's legal ability would
not have held them for trial.
The prosecution was conducted by
Prosecuting Attorney Warner assisted
by Judge White, of Ludington and
Capt. +. Saunders, of East Saginaw;
the defense by Judge Burch, of Hersey
and +. l.. Allen, of Baldwin.
