ed and ridden through the brush,
and had held secret meet tins at mig ht
far from town in order to disobey
the law which they had sworn to
support

criminal prosecution for obstructing
and evading the process OF the Unit
ed States court. which ordered that
a warrant be issued aud tax levied to
pay ST. Clair county's railroad debt.
Judge Phillips said from the
bench:
"I have not evoked all the Federal
laws in this st Clair county case.
There is criminal side of the stat
utes that covers this sort of con
spiracy against the administration of
the law. This course cannot be tol-
Grated any longer. Til exhaust
every weapon In the whole arm
ory of justice to put stop to
this thing. The county clerk and
sheriff, in aiding and abetting the
judges in obstructing the process of
the court, have committed crime,
for it is a criminal offsnse to obstruct
or impede the process of the court. .
The punishment for such an Of
fense, as laid down by the statutes,
is imprisonment fer not more than
II months in all Or a fine not to ex
ceed $500.
