JUDGES RELEASED FROM JAIL
FAMOUS ST. CLAIR COUNTY
BOND CASE.
New County Judges Will Now Occupy
the Cells For Refusing to Levy
Tax.

Kansas City, Jan. 3.-Another chapter
in the celebrated st. Clair county bond
case was closed today, when Judge
Phillips of the United States circuit
court ordered the release from the
county Jail here of Thomas Nivett and
Thomas Gill, judges of the st. Clair
county court, who have been in con-
tempt of the federal court since June
last, when they refused to obey the or
der Of the federal judge, directing them
to levy a tax upon the ,1roOerty-hold-
ers of st. Clair county for the purpose
of satisfying the repudiated bonds. me
st. Clair court judges ceased TO be IN
contempt of the federal court simply
because their term of office has ex-
pired. The taxpayers of st. Clair
county elected their successors at the
November election, and the judges
then chosen were, to all purposes,
elected into Jail, for they were solemnly
pledged to resist the order of the fed
eral court directing the levying of the
tax.
The bond question is the one political
issue of st. Clair county. The amount
involved, including the principal and
interest for twenty-five years, is now
over million dollars. The bonds were
voted and issued in aid of a railroad,
and amounted to about 100000 The
promoters of the company secured the
bonds, sold them in the east and left
the st. Clair people with no sign of Il
railroad. When the bonds fell due the
taxpayers naturally resisted the pay
ment, and though the federal courts
eventually. decided in favor of the bond
holders, the st. Clair people have not,
during all the years of litigation, been
disappointed in any of the county
judges whom they have elected to re-
sist the federal court.
Last summer Federal Judge Phillips
secured an offer of a compromise from
the bondholders, who agreed to accept
the principal of the bonds without in
terest. Judge Lyon, one of the three
st. Clair county judges in Jail here,
who was serving his second term in
JAIL and who was in very poor health,
agreed to vote for the tax under these
conditions, and was purged of con-
tempt by the federal judge. Judges
hewitt and Gill, however, spurned any
offer of compromise. and served out
their terms in Jail. 1t was practically
understood that this would be the
course of Judges hewitt and Gill, the
majority of the court, when Judge
Lyon secured his release by accepting
the compromise
