OPEN LETTER FROM
DIST. ATTY. PIKE.
Statement From Washoe's Legal
Adviser Answering Charges
of CapabiIity.
Why He Refused Requisition Papers and
General Outline of What He Has
Done With the Cost to do it.

Done With the Cost to do it.
EDITOR Gazette have been
charged by a morning paper, issued in
this city, Of being incapable of perform.
ing the duties entrusted TO me as
District Attorney.
In answer to that charge desire to
point to the records Of my office which
are compiled for the Attorney General
annually. The records show that in
the Justice Court for the twelve months
ending December 81, there were AT
convictions for petty offenses and that
there were twenty-five preliminary ex-
aminations on charges of felony
Of these one was dismissed by the
Justice, two were released on writs of
habeas corpus. three were discharged
by the Grand Jury, two were acquitted
by trial jury one is out on bail and
thirteen were convicted in the District
Court. Of these thirteen eleven were
committed to the penitentiary and one
is in the county jail or period of six
months, and one paid his fine.
think this record will compare fav-
orably with any District Attorneys Of
flee in the State. The costs of these
prosecutions in the Justice Courts of
the county as follows:
Reno, $7,63665; Wadsworth. $3.-
ol4O5; Verdi. $755.55, making a
grand total Of 81 ,4o6.25.
These figures speak for themselves,
and think are more than the taxpay-
ers Of Washoe county ought to be
called upon TO bear. Our population
should not justify such an expense on
the county for looking after the crimi-
nal element
am charged with refusing to make
complaints against vegrants arrested by
the peace officers of Reno" That is
in a sense true, the law making it my
duty to refuse to prosecute where do
not think the evidence would warrant a
conviction. and in some instances
where we'll appearing men have been
arrested and brought into Court
charged with sleeping in empty box
cars or vacant lots and the men have
shown by their calloused hands that
they were hard working men and were
without the means with which to buy
bed, have advised the Court to allow
them to 60.
am charged with giving verbal
bail for William Greenfield. who was
brought into the Justice Court for pros
ecution.
Mr.. Greenfield is an old resident Of
Reno, a barber by profession and has
always borne a good reputation. He
was arrested for a petty offense and
could not give bail. His case was set
for next day after his arrest and sug-
gested to Judge Linn that he be re-
quired to appear on his own recogniz-
ance, which was done. He was in a
demented condition and within day
or two | brought him before the Board
of Commissioners of Insanity and he
was committed to the asylum. where
he now is.
The law does not permit the con-
finement Of insane people in the county
jail.
am charged with refusing to apply
for extradition papers for one Herrick
This charge is true in every respect
Herrick had been employed in ore Of
the saloons in the tenderloin and was

weeks business tour IN Texas,
representing NJ. o. Coggins & Co..
OF Pittsburg. While cantaloupes
were the principal crop shipped
by Mr. Hale, vegetables were also
handled. He reports great lack
OF moisture in Texas, causing an
unusually rapid ripening OF all
crops At the various shipping
points the duration of the season
was much shorter than former
years and the prices realized not
so good. Mr.. Hale says that the
outlook for cantaloupes is very
poor generally except in the Indian

duct Of which will to some extent
come IN competition with the
