Suspended Sentences unlawful.

Judge Severance, of the Sixth judicial
district. rendered . decision which de-
clares unlawful a practice in vogue in
nearly every municipal and police court
In the state, that of suspending SEN
fences upon criminals, either on good
behavior or indefinitely. Carl Leisner
was last spring sentenced to 80 days
imprisonment in the county jail for
drunkenness, it being the third offense
under the state law. Sentence was sus-
pended on good behavior. He was ar
rested Feb. i on the charge of disorder
~ conduct, and without trial was COM
mitted to Jail to serve out his suspended
sentence. His attorney secured writ
OF habeas corpus and secured his re-
lease on the ground that q municipal
court has no right to suspend sentence
and that such suspension amounts to an
absolute acquittal, and that if court
has power to suspend the execution of
a sentence on certain conditions, the
fact that these conditions have been
broken must be established by q con-
stituttonal trial before the execution of
the sentence can be commenced.

The Actions Of a Superintendent Revive
an Old Murder Case.


DEFIANCE, o, Feb. Special. THE
citizens Of Defiance have finally got
enough Of Superinte ntendent Of Schools G.
W. Butler. His last scs which shows his
incompetency as n manager OF public
schools, which iucompetency the people
OF Defiance were long time in noting,
was 10 siCSs hold OF a small boy, give him
a thump in the eye which badly discolored
it, choke him into partial insensibiIity
and then drag him upstairs ia the super
intendenps room and there belabor him
with rubber hose uutil he was Exhausted.
This has set the people to thinking and
the leading newspaper OF tnc city, the
Crescent, which defended Butler when he
most needed defense, is dead set against
him, which means that Buffers days with
the Defiance schools are numbered.
About two years ago Janitor Moll, of the
high school, startled the town by alleging
that he had caught Butler In a compro.
mising position with one or more Of the
teacbers. This information was made to
the Board OF Education, and sensation
was the result. The friends of the teach h
ers and the friends OF Butler we're allied
on one eide and the friends of MolI, who
was popular among the Germans, on
the other. A few nights after the infor-
nation was made, the town was set wild
by band Of men among whom were the
beat citizens of Def ance, calling at Moll'a
house for the purpose of doing him vio-
lence. Moll was not at home at the time
but next morning his dead body was
found on the railroad. "Suicide" said the
leading paper. "Sucide" said many
leading citize ems. "Murderm said Moll's
friends and a number who we're not
his friends. And murder IL certainly
was. Thore were some indictments for
riot, but no convictions we're had. II ia
conceded that the crowd that called at
Molps house didu't commit the murder.
1t was done more secretly.
Thusit is that the city of Defiance has
been divided ever since. At election time
there are two factions: Those who be-
lieve Moil committed suicide are on one
side aud those who think he was murdered
are ou the other. When a candidate
comes out for local office the first ques-
ton asked ia not us he Democrat 2" or
as he q Republican? ?n but "How did he
stand on the Moli case ?n Butler has been
q thorn in the side of about half the citi-
zeDs, but many of his failures have been
overlooked and with the assistance Of a
tawny haired high school principal OF
mediocre ability, he has been running
things with high hand and whaling the
boys and young women whenever out of
humor. His last act has turned many of
his friends against him and it is really
startling to note how many are abandon
ing the Moll suicide theory at this late
date. They don't blame Butler for doing
away with Moll or for having anything to
do with his taking Off, but they think the
town would run better, and the wheels of
education revolve on ball bearings to a
greater degree if the disturbing element
were removed. The whole town is in q
state of excitement and Butler is being
done to turn.
