MANY JUSTICE CASES.

Some of the Sharks Are Guilty Of Ont.
raHeous Oppression, Assisted by
Crooked Justices.
The Eagle regrets very much that
pressure upon Its space for other mat.
tiers this week prevents the publica-
ton Of the result Of the labors Of
couple of experts In the justice courts.
These experts have found the number
Of cases commenced during the past
three years by leading sharks. together
with the facts In some of the more i'm.
pOrtant ones.
A record of more barefaced robbery
under the forms of law Il would be
impossible to find anywhere.
Some Of the eases are really heart.
rending and cry out for justice.
The Eagle will endeavOr to bring
some of the Justices who are doing the
bidding of these fellows to book.
Some of them should he removed
from Office on the strength of the facts
now brought to light.
Justices who will aid In rObblng the
poor and will then hob.nob and he all
in all with sharks do not deserve any
sympathy.
Nor will they receive any sympathy.
So easy Is 1t for the sharks to rob the
very Jurors Of the Cook County courts
Of their per diem,
That they believe they can wipe up
the earth with the United States Of
America.
The United States has National
bankruptcy law, passed for the pur.
pose OF relieving the Overburdened.
Among the Overburdened were sew.
ernl members Of the Chicago police
force, who were forced to borrow
money from sharks, and who had long
since paid the principal on their debts.
But these poor men, like many others
who were grasped by the tentacles Of
the devilfsh, We're 10 deeply In debt
to the sharks for interest owed on In.
terest mt the rate Of 10 per cent. a
month that the only way they could
free themselves from the octopus was
by taking advantage Of the Federal
bankruptcy act.
They took advantage Of this act, had
an open hearing In the United States
Court and were duly freed from their
debts.
The sharks at once had them arrest
cd In defiance Of the Federal law, not
In one justice court, but In three. and
openly announced their intention of
prosecuting these poor men until they
gave up the money which they do not
owe.
This prosecution still continues.
A more brazen violation Of the bank.
ruptcy law,
A more outspoken contempt for Fed
eral authority and especially for Fed
eral courts, could not be found any
where.
The United States District Attorney
should have these sharks railrOaded to
the penitentiary without further delay.
And every justice and constable who
aids or abets them should be jailed
