Bohrs bill to require Sheriffs to advertise
in German papers in cities of the first class,

OFFICIAL oRooXEDNEss IN KENTUCKY

The old Commonwealth of Kentucky,
being the only State in the Union en-
tirely free from debt, and having large
surplus in the Treasury, seems to have
fallen victim to the official cormorants
within her borders Auditor Smith is
reported to have said that there was no
doubt but what the State was being con-
tinually defrauded of large sums of
money. for which there seemed to be no
remedy excepting through the vigilance
of the Criminal Courts and the Common
wealth's attorney.
The Grand Jury of FLOYD County re-
Gently unearthed and reported system
of frauds that had been going on fol
years among the petty officers of the
county. 1t was found that it was the
custom among some of the justices and
constables to set on foot prosecutions fol
felonies in order to manufacture claims
against the State. Their modus oper
andi was for an officer to get two men tc
engage in friendly fight in which stone
or some weapon will figure so as to make
scratch or slight flesh wound. The
party doing the injury is then induced tt
leave the county, but to let the officers
know where he may be found. He il
pursued oy the officer with posse), who
makes the arrest, returns with his pris
oner, brings him before two examining
magistrates-the examination is pro
longed from day to day, and bill of one
or two hundred dollars sent in to be pait
out of the State Treasury.
A case in point is reported, which il
thus set forth by the Grand Jury:
eve learn that there was prosecution
set on foot for killing Cash. Hall. Tht
proceedings consumed a good deal of timt
at great deal of expense to the State
1t afterwards developed that the lamen
ted Cash. Hall was certain dog that hao
been killed in the neighborhood."
The names of a dozen officers-Jus
tices, Constables and Deputy Sherifs-
were given as participants in this fraud
and the case was 50 glaring that Gov
Blackburn has declared for the most Wig
orous prosecution of these and all othe
similar official robbers. 1t will be no
time in the Old Commonwealth whel
the letter and spirit of the law is enforced
against Office holders who charge illega
fees, and the penalties for extortion from
either litigants or the State are ex
acted.
