JOINTISTS' DAY.
Police Court Devoted to Cases
Against Them.
Only One of Them Is Found Not
Guilty.
ALL TAKE APPEALS.
Will Again Be Tried In Dis
trict Court.
Details of the Police Court
Trials.

"Jointists ct justitia'' That was the
motto Judge Magaw worked under III
police court Thursday afternoon
The court room was crowded with
members of the fraternity. No less than
20 wet goods dealers were there 50
were the chuckaluck and hlronlmuS
players. All felt that they We're DelhS
greatly abused by the police depart
ment. The police have been partlcu-
larly dilgent lately and the joint busl-
ness has suffered somewhat w ME
court was in session a heavy transfer
wagon piled high with bars and joint
fixtures was driven into the jail yard
and the load piled against the fence.
The jail yard is half full now OF ice
boxes and pine bars.
The jointists who were being tried
complain that they have not been
treated fair Chief Ramsey pulled XII
ley's joint on East Seventh street. It
was late in the afternoon when the raid
was made. There was one man there
asleep in the back room. on the bar
was a bottle of mineral water That
was all. The fine large ice box was
empty. The bar was deserted, except
for the bottle of Adams ale, and the
sidebOard was bare as old Mother hub
bard's cupboard
That lone bottle of water had been
waiting a long time for the police to
come. The proprietor had been absent
all day, not wishing to return until the
reception was over. Strange that the
conditions were such. Is it possible
that the beer got a tip that the police
were coming and escaped and left the
water to meet the enemy?
Three joint cases and six men were
tried in police court, as fast as one was
disposed of the judge called for an
other. The first case was against Syl-
Wan KIien and archie Bailey, color
ed The first witness called was S. G.
Garrett.
when were you in the second story
of 514 and SIS avenue?" asked Assist
ant City Attorney Gregg.
''Where?" said the witness as if he
were bewildered.
In 514 Kansas avenue"
f'What?"
Between Fifth and Sixth Streets
1--WE been in good many places"
''Well, have you been in this place?'
what kind of a placer"
Joint"
''You mean saloOn?"
Eyes"
After this fancy little sparring match
for wind, silence was in order for the
witness to collect his thoughts.
What did you do up there?"
mot much of anything"
Drink anything?"
Not much
ftAny?''
Two beers'
Then he admitted having paid five
cents a glass for it and said that there
were several hundred people in the
place when he was there.
How many drinking?" asked the at
tOrney for the city.
LAS many as could get up to the bar
W. L. Lemon, who is a carpenter and
also a minister, was the next witness.
Have you ever seen this man?' ask
ed the city attorney, pointing to Klien
Yes"
'Where?'
In the Jockheck building"
At this interesting stage of the pro-
ceedings the court stopped the legal
machinery to accommodate another
jointist who wished his bond filed i'm
| mediately so that he might return to
his place of business.
What did you do in this placer" was
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1899-11-10

that certain formal questions had not
been asked and enquired from each wit
ness that had been examined if this
all happened in the city of Topeka,
Shawnee county and state of Kansas, -
and all admitted that it had.
There being no further testimony and
no argument, the court discharged
against him. Bailey received 800 fine
and 80 days in Jail for selling liquor
and the same for maintaining a NUS
ance. And also order all the stuff
seized to be destroyed" said the judge.
Your honor, please furnish US an
appeal bond said Attorney Pagan for
the defense, fearing the order might be

bond was asked for and Immediately
made out.
Then Henry Shaffer and Frank Crist
were tried for running a joint at 222
Kansas avenue. Lemon and Garrett,
Lemon was asked if he was employed
by the city to collect evidence and after
trying to evade the question said he
was. Then Garrett was asked how he
places.
1T is strange, isn't it?" he replied.
Are you getting pay for this evil
dence?''
mo, I think I ought to, but I guess
I won't"
Both defendants were convicted and
the appeal bond made out as before. At
the time Garrett secured the evidence
he was paid by the city for doing SO.

carried out before the bond was made
out
The next case was against Frank
Meredith and Fritz Durein for running
a joint in connection with the Milwau-
kee restaurant on Kansas avenue be-
tween Fourth and Fifth streets. As in
the other case Garrett and Lemon were
the star witnesses.
They testified to having bought beer
of Meredith and that they understood
Durein was proprietor. Both were found
guilty and in all fined 5000 apiece and
90 days in Jail and as before the appeal

the first question when the case was re-
sumed.
I asked for beer
did you get it?''
NO" Then the witness explained
that he pushed his nickel toward Bailey
the colored bartender, and that KIien
rushed up, showed the money back to
him and told the bartender not to give
him any beer and then ordered Lemon
out of the place
officer Maze testified that beer was
found when the place was rafded Just

OFFICIAL VOTE.
Canvass Shows Sheriff Cooks Plural
ity to Be 1868.

The county commissioners met today
as a board of canvassers to open the
official election returns and make up
the official count. There was very little
interest in the canvass. About the on
~ ones who watched the canvass were
the county officers who were reel ected
and who wanted to see just how great
a majority they received.
The average majority for the six
county officers was 2,335.
The high man" on the ticket W as F.
l.. Stevens for register of deeds, who
received 1850 majority. The lowest
WAS Sheriff Cook, whose plurality over

ance candidate for sheriff. recei we'd a
larger vote than it was supposed he
would, considering the fact it was nee
essary to write his name on the ticket

1t is peculiar that John T Chanev.
who had no opposition on the ticket for
state senator, did not receive as MANY
votes as some of the candidates to
whom there was opposition This is at
Ir1buted TO the very fact that there was
no candidate against him Many voters
knew that he would be elected ANYWAY
and they failed to vote for senator.
There were a number of scatterin q
votes for state senator. A L Mooney
a state house employe. received two
votes. Then there were votes for Frank
Thomas. Fred Close. George w. Clark.
