Hx-clrY OFFICERS ARRESTED.


From the Fl. Scott Tribute
The Allen county liquor cases in
which such severe penalties were as
sessed last month, were appealed to
the appellate court of this city and
the papers disclose the fact that some
prominent men of lola and Humboldt
were indicted, though they seem to
have kept their names out of the
local papers. EX-Mayor w. Y. Nc
Elroy of Humboldt, Ex-Mayor A. J..
Taylor, of lola, and Police Judge,
Jacob Gard, of lola, are among the
defendants and were today released
by Judge Manferd Schoonover on a
temporary writ of habeas corpus.
They are under bonds of $500 each.
Twelve men, convicted and severely
sentenced for selling liquor, have
appealed.
The papers in all the cases were
filed Saturday evening and Judge
Schoonover today accepted the bonds
Of the three first named and Deputy
Clerk Eaton wired the officers of AL
len county authorizing their release.
The police judge and ex-mayors
were indicted by grand jury under
section 8, chapter 1856 of the laws OF
1887. Police Judge Gard claims that
this law Is unconstitutional because
IL ls an invasion of the Judiciary
which is coordinate branch of the
government. This section of the law
fixes the responsibilities of city OFF,
GERS in regard to the enforcement OF
the prohibitory liquor law. The
habeas corpus hearings were set fol-
March l4th in this city.
The convicted liquor men, in their
appeals, attack the validity of the
grand jury, alleging various irregu.
larities, among which are the charges
that the jury was called without
petition, and that five men who sal
on it were disqualified. They alsC
allege many errors on the part of the
court in the trial of the cases. SOME
of the defendants if the Judgment il
