his action has been proper and right
CAPTAIN Dovener-I didn't say he
hadn't the same right as any other citl-
zen. but will say that these people are
placed in a very peculiar position. we
had a grand jury here q few days ago.
and the Prosecuting Attorney was fully
armed with all the machinery OF the
law, but does nothing, and yet within
four days after the adjournment OF that
grand Jury he swears out warrants ana

is no necessity for anything OF this
kind. An expense OF fifteen or twenty
dollars has been added to every one OF
these cases as costs without necessity,
while other criminels run riot through
this city and nothing is done about 1t.
Ii isn't right.
The Court again said the Prosecuting

be found. be added that something
unusual must have occurred, or there
was flagrant Misunderstanding.
Capt. Dovener couldn't see how there
could be 3 fragrant misunderstanding,
but intimated rather strongly that there
might be a wilful misunderstanding.
Mr.. Post-Isn't the Justice the judge
OF the suticiency Of the bail at the time?
Capt. DOvener-Yes, but he must
show judicial wisdom. IL isn't within
the ipSe dirt OF a Justice to peremptor-
ialy refuse bail. he must exercise
sound judicial discretion.
The Court-There is no use in going
on in this way. would rather the
Prosecuting Attorney was here, and
something must have detained him.
