A
led to believe from what we have seen
i'm some of our exchanges that there is
a mistaken idea in the minds of many
concerning Homer Hendricks' connec-
tion with county attorney McBrian's
court of inquiry. Believing as we do,
that Mr.. Hendricks acted the part OF
a gentleman and free American citi-
zen in the matter and We feel it our
duty to him and his friends to make
this explanation. Mr.. Hendricks is
known as an honorable, temperate and
law-abiding citizen and is not in any
way either directly or Indirectly COM
nected with the sale of intoxicants.
The point at issue is, that for no other
offence has the legislature ever passed
a law that delegated to the county at
torney the power to,make himself both
judge and jury by compelling man
to testify before him concerning his
knowledge of any violation of law and
by his testimony make him an, un-
willing prosecuting witness. A man
i'm business i'm southern Kansas can
scarcely aflord:to allow himself to be
brought up singly out of a large num-
ber of busipess men and be sworn and
testify i'm liquor casses. Hendricks is
now under bond to abide by the de-
cision of the Supreme Court, which
will pass upon the constitutionality of
the law in the case pending, on the Sd
of September next.
