BRIBERY AND FRAUD IN COURTS

Brooke Determined to Wipe Out Corrup-
tion and Incommunicado Practice.
HAVANA, April 3.-As under the Span
ish regime, bribery and fraud directs
the Cuban courts. This is the firm con.
viction of the military administration
Governor General Brooke is taking the
matter up and intends to clean out the
corruption, to revise the judicial pro.
cedure, to change the court personnel
and to abolish the barbarous practice of
incommunicado, by which judge may
imprison for life n person ignorant of
the accusation against him and of the
names of his accusers.
1t is true that the statutes allow only
three days detention incommunicado,
but judge, under the practice that
has grown up, may make a new com.
mitment at the expiration of the third
day, another at the expiration of the
sixth and 80 on without limit.
More than this, the evidence in Grim.
inal causes is taken by clerks, who for q
consideration write into the testimony
things never uttered, thus often making
the best friends of the accused appear
to condemn him. Apparently the whole
criminal and civil systems have been ar.
ranged so as to make it easy to buy and
sell Justice.
