Serious Charge Against Chicago JUS
LiceG.
CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-The city is about to
the peace known as 'schange of venue" Off
Gals. These funetionaries have their Offices
near police courts and when prisoners wish
a "change" they come before these justices.
1t WAS recently discovered that no reports
had been made to the city comptroller of
fines collected for a long time back, and an
investigation was instituted. The result of
this shows that since May 1, 1882, 20, 1863
cases have been tried before these Justices
For this number they have paid into the city
but 81, 1856. 1t is estimated that the average
fine in each case was 81. AZ. On that basis in
the 1926 cases unaccounted for the sum of
81, 1895 has been illegally retained and ap-
propriated by ten justices. Prosecuting At
torney Rogers will continue his investiga-
t1ons and threatens to prosecute every JUS
tice until full reparation is made.
