PROTECTING THE LAW-BREAKER.
A Fair Illustration of How SubserVient
Political Judge Defeats the Law.

A few weeks ago VIM. Sextroh, barkeepcr at
John Huegeles saloon, was tried, before Ross
Clark, for giving away liquor last Christmas.
The officer, Joyce, saw three men in front of the
bar foaming mugs of beer before them and VIM.
Sextroh, in his white apron, behind the counter.
He did not see money pass. but that did not mat
ter-the law was violated The defense had no
witnesses, and the able judge decided the case on
a presumption which he said the Supreme Court
held good IF the barkeeper was behind the bar,
and the customers in front Of it, with the drinks
in glasses within easy reach, the Supreme Court
says that it must be presumed there was q SALE
AS the affidavit only charged Sextroh with Civ
ing the beer away, Clark said it must have been
a sale, and therefore, he could not be punished
for supplying the beverage without cost.
Prosecuting Attorney Harding went before the
grand jury, then in session, and had Sextroh IN
dicted for selling the beer on Christmas The
trial came off Yesterday, before the same Judge
and with the same testimony for the State. This
time the defendant, and others in his behalf.
went on the stand and testified that the beer was
given away. The three men who drank the bev-
garage. particularly one John Macarthur Baker,
testified to this effect Judge Clarke then said,
as the liquor was given to the men, there could
be no sale, hence Sextroh was not guilty. He
discharged him, to the disgust of the prosecuting
attorney and the amusement of those who have
a fair measure of Ross Clarkes judicial ability
and his earnest desire to serve the Democratic
party.
In connection with this case the story runs
that day or two before the Democratic county
convention, at which Clark was defeated for the
nomination of criminal judge, John Huegele dis
played great interest in the charge against his
barkeeper Said he to one we'll informed as to
the jugglery that has attended SO many liquor
affdavits and indictments, HAS Clark crossed
that case from the docketl"
"What casel"
THAT one against Sextroh He said he would
do it and it must be done before I go into the
convention for him." Two or three DAYS went
by and the convention came on and Ross Clark
was defeated. Hueeele inquired again that morn
ing as to the condition of the docket and found
the Sextroh case still alive. He fulfilled his
threat and blasted Clarks aspirations by going
over to Ayres at the last moment

A LAW THAT HAS BECOME ODIOUs.
A PestiferOus Statute That Serves Only to
Make Fees for Justices and COnstables.

NOW that you are turning Your attention TO
Dogberry Row." said an attorney who was lin
gering near that judicial cul-desac. sswhy not
take notice, for the benefit of a long-sufrering
public of the provoke casesl To start off with,
the provoke law is the most pestiferous IN the
statutes and should be repealed at the earliest
opportunity. 1t is sweet boon, however, to
the justices and the hangers-on Of their petty
courts. It in many instances gives them two
cases and two sets of fees, ghere, without it,
they would have only one. The provoke law is
costly adjunct to family troubles and neighbor-
hood quarrels. How9 Say for instance. some
body, man or woman, is brought into one of
these justice shops charged with assault and
battery. It may not be much of an as
sault, but it is nearly always sufficient
for the justice and his myrmidons to make costs
upon. While the assaulter is smarting under
the monetary punishment, and before he or she
has left the Office, a constable or some hanger-on
usually advises the victim to flea charge of pro-
woke against the prosecuting witness. The
Justice assesses fine and fees against the other
side, and thus ably kills two birds with me
stone"
On Friday last, man building house had
some words with brick-layer as to the dimen-
sions of the building. The brick-layer, being hot
and choleric, under sizzling sun, called the ad-
versary o liar, with sope slight verbal emolu-
ments. The other man posted right off to Dog
berry Row, and had the brck-layer fined for pro-
woke. He probably was ashamed of it when he
cooled off. In nine cases out of ten the fine is
only one cent-that goes to the State. The costs
are heavier-$5 for the prosecutor, So 40 for the
squire and So for the constable is the average on
a plea of guilty. Not one in hundred will run
over $1L 40.
They like nothing better than neighborhood
quarrel. Then provoke cases are as thick as
leaves in Vallambrosa. Fully one-fourth of the
cases among the Dogberries are ''provokes" and
'profanites.' the latter being scarcely less con-
temptible than the former. The justices ex-
ira anxious to collect their fees in provoke cases.
and will make concessions to their unfortunate
victims il they are impressed with the certainty
that they will take an appeal They dread an
appeal, for the reason that the Criminal Court
has got in the habit of Diminishing provoke and

times fairly kicking them out of court

The Board of Aldermen. with all members

minor business that always follows roll-call and
found nothing upon which to place an objection
until fire department. item was reached. This
related to the appointment of Henry Ochler to
the vacancy in the department caused by the
resignation of Charles Hamlin. Alderman
Schmidt moved to refer the matter to the fire
committee, but Alderman King called for the

the Democrats voting against the appointment.
When the resolution adopted by the Council re-
ferring to the widening of Alabama street to sixty
five feet was reached, Alderman Pritchard re-
minded the Board that only three hundred feet
was represented in the petition, while in remon-
STRANGE over twelve hundred was represented.
Alderman Schmidt overcame this by a minute
calculation. in which he showed that only the
owners of 600 feet and 81 inches did not want

to the charge that this might be true, but in any
event the city would have to pay for the work,
and the matter of moving the houses on the

upon the city great expense. Alder
