thirty dollars for his fun. The fine

FAILURES OF DETECTIVES.

The result of the noted Bedford,
and Rising Sun, Ind, murder cases,
show the folly of leaving the detec-
ton Of criminals to professional de-
tectives from a distance. Mcdonald,
an::illiterate laborer, was cast into Jail
months ago charged with killing Q
young lady. There was no evidence
against him, so far as anyone except
the detective" knew. A clamorous
public was simply told that the detec-
tfves had worked up the case. and
had an unbroken chain Of evidence
which would be made public at the
trial. For time there was danger
Of lynching the man, not because of
any genuine evidence against him, but
simply because the detectives" who
we're working for reward aRgregat-
ing about 1000, claimed that they
had had the evidence. When the case
was tried there was not even any cir
cumstantial evidence against the ac-
cused Ris arrest turned out 10 be
only a four flush of professional detec-
tives and he was acquitted. Detec-
tiyes undoubtedly have their uses in q
great many cases, but in working up
the average case the police authorities
in the locality are worth whole regi-
ment OF detectives, especially those
who arrive on the scene with q blast
oftrumpets and have themselves in
terviewed every day. There 10 no
t6iliDg how many innocent men have
been sent to the gallows or PRISON
through testimony manufactured. by
thsdetectives for the purpose of claim
ing reward.
Justice is perhaps more often cheat
ed by the offering of rewards than
otherwise. The 500. 900 Goebel cor
ruption fund in Kentucky is one proof
of this, as for several years innocent
men have been bounded and persecut-
ea'by professional detectives and poll
ticians whose only object is to con-
Wet somebody. IL makes no difference
who it is, one to get the money and
the other to wreak vengeance on po-
htioal opponents for crime 1t has
never been shown who committed.
The word detective" inspires the
average person with awe, and Jury
readily takes his word in preference
to that Of many others who know
more and are more honest and trust
worthy.

The administration cannot shirk the
responsibility for the damage suits OF
six prisoners by claiming the city So
licitor did not advise il as to the law.
The city solicitor advised the general
council that under the law the tax list
must be published twice a year, but
the general council ignored him. The
public printer then sued and won the
case and the taxpayers, although the
list was not published. will have to
pay s260 for 1t just the some. Grant
ing for the sake OF argument that the
solicitor said nothing about working
prisoners on the street, 1t does not
follow that the administration would
haye followed his advice If he had
given it. any more than in the tax list
case.

A serious feature OF the wholesale
claims for damages against the city
because of alleged working prisoners
contrary to law, is what effect It will
have on the $500. 1000 bond issue.
While the suits may amount to moth
ing ultimately, the fact that they ex-
ist as Q menace against the finances Of
the city may have . bad effect when
the ponds are placed in the market.
The possibility of such an effect is
another result of the slothful methods
Of the administration. The bonds
were voted last November, and could
have been sold long ago il any effort
had been made TO sell them. The ad-
minissration has loitered along and let
six months slip by without doing
anything, and if the city escapes the
inevitable penalty of proorastination
the people may feel fortunate indeed.
