TRIVIAL
ACTIONS
Bring a Feeling OF Disgust to
the. Probate Judge and
Prosecutor.
JUDGE WISE TALKS.
Says the Law Ought to Give Squires
Final Jurisdiction
IN PETTY CONTROVERSIES.
or twenty -One Cases on the Probate Grim
inal Docket, Not One Has Come to
Trial and Only One Is Left
For This Term of
COurt.


The present term of probate criminal
court is proving considerable of fa'i=
ure so far as trials are concerned. Out
of 81 cases assigned for the week not
one has been able to reach the stage
of contest in court. Every case on
the docket has now been dismissed or
continued except one. The court and
prosecutor have tried hard to clear up
everything but something always inter-
feres. In many of the cases the people
who brought them while in a passion
had their spirit of revenge cooled off
and they never came near to prosecute.
In other matters the witnesses get
scattered and cannot be secured to tes-
tify.
Both Judge Wise and Prosecutor
Pomerene are thoroughly disgusted.
Both Wednesday morning declared as
their opinion that the law should be
changed so as to give justices of The
peace final jurisdiction in the matter of
these petty cases.
1.-THE law should be amended so tha;
q defendant can come into a mayors
or Justices court, get jury trial, and
let that end the whole case" said Judge
Wise. Now the cases are sent over
here, we have to keep jury on hand
at large expense to the county, and
the cases as a rule are Of such trivial
character that the parties themselves
get ashamed of them and then we can
not get trial"
CASES PASSED.
The case set for Wednesday was that
of Mortimer Carey, charged with adul-
terry with the little IA year old girl,
Blanch Mays, of Massillon. Carey was
on hand with Attorney Pinn but the
important witnesses could not be got
ten into court and the matter was con-
tinued.
The witnesses against James c.
Streeter, charged with selling mort
gagged property, We're out of the state
and that compelled the continuance .
his suit.
Laura Heller was charged with un-
lawfully obtaining board. The prose-
cutor did not think there was much of
a case to begin with and as her at
torney was out of town her case was
continued.
Cornelius Baldwin, of Alliance, is
charged with stealing a few chunks of
coal from railroad cars. The authori-
ties at Alliance sent word that Baldwin
was very poor and that If he were
brought here to be tried his family
would suffer while he was away or elsO
become charge upon the public. The
matter rests at that.
The case against Rhinehart Shar-
worth, who is charged with trespassing
on the railroad property at Robertsville
has about fattened out and nothing
will be done with it now.
In the whole assignment this leaves
only one case, that in which G.. w.
Lantzer is charged with stealing a load
of hay This will be tried Thursday If
something else does not turn up to in
terfere.
