Mf. Winfield Scores Lawyers
Who Extort Money from
Prosecuting Wit
nesses.

Immediately after the trial of two
Italians in the Court of General Sessions
this morning, for chewing q mans finger
on prosecutor Winfield arose and adj
dressing the Court said
ANpatter has just come to my atten-
ton Which l deem it my duty to bring
10 the notice of the Court and to the pub
tic. These poor, ignorant Italians point
ing % a group of people interested in the
case alluded to- have paid considerable
sums Of money TO certain lawyers who
nave extorted 1t from then on the pre-
tense of helping the prosecution of the
case Now. your Honor, this is very dis
agreeable to me and an outrage to the
public.
II the Prosecutor is not able to lake
care Of the cases for the State let him
step down and out. / don't ask any as
sistanee, and is I need any the Court or
the Attorney General viii give me the re-
CURED help. 1t is not fair to the Court
that these lawyers should extort money
from the people to prosecute wrongs COM
mltLeu The people have a right TO lave
sneT grievances redressed In this Court
without Zee or rewafd.
1t IS an Insult TO me, continued Mr..
WINFIELD, raising his voice and turning

will not allow any lawyer to sit beside me
under the false pretense of assisting the
prosecution.
When the Prosecutor resumed his seat
Counsellor John Weller of Hoboken jump
ed to his feet with his face as red as a
peony. Mr.. Weller had been retained by
Italians in the case alluded to, to assist
in prosecuting those who bit their friends
rnger OF. During the trial he sat beside.
Mr., Winfield, but took no part in the
proceedings.
Your Honor he was Just beginning
when Judge Hudspeth stopped him.
sThe Court is glad that the Prose
cuter has brought this practice to the
attention of the Court and the public.
1t Is most reprehensib1e and the Court
won't tolerate it. Complaining witnesses
may, of course, retain private counsel.
and the Prosecutor will be glad to receive
n private suggestions or advice from
them, but for counsel to extort money
on the Dretense of assisting the prose-
cution the practice will not be tolerated
here
Your Honor said Mr.. Weller, 81 ask
ed Mr.. Winfield's permission TO sit at the
table. Didn't II" turning to the Prose-
cutor, who nodded his head.
THE Court" continued Judge uds
peth, wishes it TO be known that justice
can and will be melted out without re-
ward. No one is justified in taking any
fee from the people to aid in prosecuting
crime"
1t was learned afterwards that the
practice has become very frequent, and
in the case of one lawyer he was paid
$50 to assist the prosecution" but did
not even D u in any appearance.

During the summer there were a num-
Der of short or half day runs planned
for the girls, but when Sunday came,
none of the boys showed up and the
girls refused to ride without the gentle
men. So Sundays run was gotten up by
the lady members especially for them
selves, and they do not care whether any
of the boys go along or not. They have
the promise of DR.. Stevenson that he viii
protect them and that is all they de-
sire.
Some of the boys are a little '.seary''
about tomorrow nights run. They are
AFRAID that it is a put up job on the
part of the girls, so that they can have
revenge. One of the boys said last night
that the girls seemed too enxious to have
tonisht's run. and on that account he was
afraid that they would not show up.
Following the meeting last night there
was dancing and refreshments.
