Judge Redden's Plan of Liquor
Prosecutions.
Refuses to Say Why Cases Are
Not Brought in Topeka

The bringing Of liquor cases Dexore a
justice of the peace by Assistant -Altor-
ney General A L. Redden is making
costs for the county to pay that could
easily be avoided.
Judge Redden has brought his liquor
cases before Justice of the Peace Disney
in Oakland. The proper place 10 pLlls
them would be in the city court before
Judge Arthur McCabe but for some uh-
known reason Judge Redden avoids that
court and piles up costs for the county
to pay When asked his reason for NOT
bringing his cases in the city court
Judge Redden said: THE reasons are
too numerous to mention dom know
as I want to give my reasons
The city court was established tNO
years ago for the purpose Of doing away
with the justice courts and the scraIil-
bic for fees by the constables and the
justices. The officers of the city court
are all on a salary and the adolttOnaA
expenses for the liquor cases brought
by Judge Redden would only be Tor
witnesses and jurors, If a jury was de-
rnanded, but in the Oakland court the
Justices and the conStable's fees nave
to be paid in excess Of what the cases
would cost the county in the city court
Justice Disney has filed his cost bliis
in two Of the cases tried. one Is known
As the Riehar dson-T Thompson case ana
the other the William Thornton case
The costs in the first case were as FOL
lows Justice fees SOTO, constable
fees S1615, witness fees $10.o5- The coun-
~ auditor cut the Justices fees TO ",
the constable's fees to $l2.20, and the
witness fees to 1910, which left the ex-
cess of costs over what the county
would have had to pay as costs for the
trial in the city court 5000
In the Thornton case the justice fees
asked We're S12-s5. constable's fees 1880
witness fees S12.45 The claims were cut
by County Auditor WEIGH as follows;
Justice fees to 50 50, constable's lees 10
s1455 This leaves the excess for the
county to pay that would not have to
be paid in the city court $24-05 which
makes a total OF extra costs for the TWO
cases S44.05-
When the explanation was made 70
Judge Redden that the city court was
instituted in the interests Of economy
and to do away with justice courts and
inflated bills Of cost. he said he knew
that and then when asked why he did
not make use of the city court he said.
There are many reasons An officer IN
the exercise of his discretion may have
many reasons and with due courtesy 1
don't believe shall discuss them.
It was suggested that something
might be done about the road houses
and Judge Redden said: Complaints
have been made to me about road
houses and I viii examine into them
Since the road house was opened by
Vera Knowles on the Plato place north
of town. Judge Redden has been be
sieged by residents in that locality en-
treating him to close the place. SO Tar
nothing has been done by any of the
officers Of the law toward an effectual
prosecution Of the road house keepers
