ALL MAKE THEIR ESCAPE.
Insolvency Laws Furnish 40 Easy Med
ium for Saddleing Costs Of Grim
inal Cases on County.

While per force he has to regard it,
Judge Gunster hasn't an ovcrwhelm-
ing respect for the insolvency laws as
at present constituted.
Yesterday woman from Scott,
named Martha Baker, was brought in
on a capias for costs i'm some trivial
case in which she was a party at the
last session of criminal court. She had
gone through the usual formula FOR
getting free under the insolvency laws
and was prepared to so her way after
filling her petition and bond. The
sheriff, however. had another capiaS
for her in second case and as she
had not prepared for this emergency
the only recourse left to the sheriff
was to put her in Jail until she could
hunt up her lawyer and get out another
insolvency petition and bond.
Judge Gunstcr heard "A statement of
the case. and after learning that the
woman had u sick husband who need
ed her care and taking into considera-
tion the close approach Of Christmas,
he called the sheriff up and told him
to discharge the woman.
The county might as well pay the
costs now as at any other time said
Judge Gunster in Conversing about the
case later. I'm all these cases the
county eventually pays the costs. y
prisoner who has five dollars with
which TO fee an attorney escapes at
once under the insolvency laws. An
other prisoner who is not able to pay
lawyers fee must remain in Jail.
There is something radically wrong
about the whole business and il should
he remcdcd. 1t is only an extra eX-
pcnse to the county to keep a person
in Jail If there was some way in
which the prisoner could be made to
work out the costs there would he
some reason to the present law. As
it is. there Is need of some remedial
legislation"
1t is a Well-knoWn fact that the
county pays the costs in almost every
criminal case tried before the court
Before going into court the parties, if
they have property, sign il over to
some one else, so that in case they are
mulCted for the costs they can take
advantage of the insolvency laws. Not
tntrequentiy too, when cases are set
tied the attorneys arrange that the
costs he put on the party who has no
property and then the other party pays
the fees for the insolvency proceed

An Ohio Cen6rc

TX Is understood that a movement is being
inaugurated by friends of the late Chief
Justice Chase to purchase the "Edgewood"
estate. near this city, to which he was so
much attached during his life time. with
the view of converting II into a club house
or gathering point for Ohioans residing in
or visiting the national capital. There is
no thought, 1t is said. of making the pre-
posed organization political I'm its character.

Whether the scheme can he carried out on
the plan proposed is perhaps somewhat
problematical; but IL is believed that there
are enough public-spirited and well-to-do
natives of the Buckeye State, resident there
and elsewhere. to make the movement a
success If they set about it with unanimity

seemed to take form. during the recent in

zenS of the state then here expressed a de-
termination to take II up and push Il for

Ohio, but i'm Washington and New York,
who would take advantage of such an op-
portunity to pay an appropriate tribute TO
the memory of Mr.. Chase and al the same
time provide a pleasant meeting place for

the purpose indicated ''Edgewood" would
be an ideal spot. Beautifully situated. on a

WITNESS FEES
Cutting Down the Amount to He Paid

Cutting Down the AmOpnt to he Paid
in the Police Court.
There is great dissatisfaction ond undis-
suised disgust among the regular wit
nesses' at the Police Court. Congress has
cut their fees, and now iRstead of collect
1rs $l2o for each time they give tn cir tes-
tmony there will only be 75 cents due and
this may. in the discretion Of the court
be reduced to % cents oro nothing
heretofore there was a class of persons
who made regular business of being wit
nesses. Ready at a moments notice to
swear pro or con according Ito the exi-
gencies of the case, and always on hand
to witt ess scrap, they regularly muic:ed
the District Several years ago 5000 an
nualiy was enough to. pay witness fees.
Last year it required $500. and f1Con-
gresS had not regulated the matter this
year 1T would have taken 5000 to settle
the witness account
The courts have been appealed to- and
they have restricted the fees as mucn
as possible. but still there was a large
drain upon the revenues.
The new appropriation bill contains this
clause:
For witness fees, $1,000, and hereafter
there shall be paid to witnesses in cases
In the Police Court not excee ding IS cents
per diem for each day of attendance, to be
allowed only in the discretion of the court -
Auditor Petty has ruled that the wording
OF the clause puts ii in operation imme-
diately. and accordingly the Witnesses who
present certificates hereafter will receive
but 10 cents per day for attendance at the
Police Court. The judges have discretion
to reduce this amount or to refuse conpen-
sation altogether to witnesses who are not
bona fide or necessary to the case. Under
this construction 1t is believed the 5000
will be ample, and that the practice of
professional witnesses" in the Police
Court will lie broken up
