AFTER THE JURYMEN
STATE GAME AND FISH COMMITS
SION WILL RESORT TO SOME
VIGOROUS MEASURES
LAW IS MADE A FARCE

Manner I'm Which Fish POachers
Attempt to Embarrass Wardens
in the Prosecution of Their
Duties-EvidenceO of Violations of
Law Appears to Have but Little
Effect ON Prejudiced Jurymen.
The state game and fish commission Is
to adopt some vigorous measures to Sc
cure a proper enforcement of the state
game law. Some time ago one Of the
game wardens secured the arrest of two
men for selling black bass. They did
not deny the charge, but despite the ac-
acknowledgement of guilt the local jury,
after a momentary consideration, acquit-
ted the accused.
The case in question is that at Water
vile, Mimi, and the facts have been plac-
ed in the hands of the commissions at
torney. S. J. Donnelly, and warrants will
undoubtedly be issued for the twelve jul
rymen who brought in the verdict. EX-
ecutive Beutner stated yesterday that the
commission intended to make an example
of this case, as the verdict was clearly a
violation of the oath of office taken by the
y s
es and the prisoner admitted his guilt.
1t was merely a case where local preju-
dice occupied a stronger place in the
minds Of the jurors than a proper dis
| pensatfOn of the law.
In many districts of the state the state
game and fish commission has expert
enced difficulty in protecting the game
and fish, where the cases have been tried
before a jury of local men. The faIlacy
of jury trials in such cases has been
proven frequently, but the commission
has no other recourse when such trial is
demanded. But in the last case the pris-
oner did not even bother himself about
pleading not guilty, but acknowledged the
corn before the bench, and the jury re-
Warded his frankness with an acquittal
In the case referred to Henry Roberts,
the local warden, secured the arrest OF
two men for fishing in one of the lakes
near Waseca. The evidence which he Sc
! cured was conclusive and presented to
the court, the jury retiring with the result
named. Later Mr.. Roberts was arrested
| on the charge of fishing with two poles.
lie was Immediately released upon his
| putting up bail. The law prohibits the
use OF more than one pole, and the con-
sp1rators tried to prove that the game
warden had violated the law. In this
they failed and Mr.. Roberts was vindi-
Gated. While discussing the matter yes
terday Mr.. Beutner said that the circum-
stances of the case gave some kind of
an Idea of the way local violators of the
game law held together and tried to en-
| parrass the commission in it's efforts to
project the fish and game of Minnesota.
Where jury trials were had the commits
sion invariably had trouble from this
source. Mr.. Beutner does not feel con-
strained to take an arbitrary attitude upon
the subject, but when the jury's prejudice
Is so Hagrant that it acquiss a man who
acknowledges his guilt, the executive
