10 remedy the evil, out tncy Can exert
their moral influence against It. and
this would be important in cases which
get TO the higher courts. or course
many of them do not reach us at all"
The buttcrne case was one of the
most important where defendants were
recently put TO unwarrantcd inconve-
nlcncc. Several prominent manufac.
turers were arrested on warrants
sworn out before Il Justice in the town
of Cicero. and required to appear at or
near midnight.
In speaking of this case Judge Chef.
lain said: II do not hesitate to con.
denim the pernicious practice of sub
jecting citizens at unreasonable hours
to civil and criminal proceedings, some.
times wholly fictitious, before remote
justices. or further annoying them by
/, frequent continuances where defend.
ants have the courage to appear. Such
proceedings are instituted to induce
people to settle fictitious claims, or, as
frequently happens, to hurry them of
to Jail"
The three judges named have consid-
| cred the question rs to whether. In ag.
gravated cases of this character. the
defendants should not be promptly dis.
| charged on the sole ground Of abuse OF
| legal process, ana those concerned In
the prosecution, or persecution, held
amcnable.
Gov. Tanner ana the judges of the
| Cook County courts are going to act
earlier than usual this time In the Sc.
lection Of justices Of the peace for Chi.
cago.
AS soon as the fall election Is over
the judges will get TO work to make
their selections.
The term of every justice of the peace
In Cook County expires this coming
winter and the judges will have to rec
ommend their SUCCESSORS to the Gov.
ernor.
| -Four years ago the Cook County Judi.
clary was very slow In acting, and rs a
result there was bad tangle in which
the judges, Gov. Altgcld ana the Sen.
ate participated.
| Gov. Tanner wishes to avoid this
trouble, and hence the judges will sub.
| NIT the names to him few months
| earlier than usual.
| This will give Gov. Tanner chance
| to get the names that he wants to the
Senate by January.
Several old-timers are slated for dis.
mlssal.
