Prosecuting Attorney Hamper states
to THE TIMES in the most positive man
ner that he is ready and willing to give
every possible assistance to the super
visors' committee appointed to look into
the sheriff's and justices accounts.
Since the appointment of the committee
he has been daily consulted, has given
advice as to their powers and stated to
the members that under the resolution
the scope of its investigation was very
limited and that if much was to be done
further authority was required from
the board. Mr.. Hamper realizes that
the citizens of the county are much ex-
ercised over this matter and will expect
and demand his best efforts if called up
on by the committee to assist in their
work.

The Investigation of the Sheriff's and
just ces' Accounts.

The principal topic of conversation all
over the county during the past week
has been concerning the inquiry ordered
by the board of supervisors into the ac-
counts of the sheriff and the justices of
the county. The action of the board is
everywhere commended and the people
are insisting that the investigation shall
be searching and thorough.
To give the people more of an idea of
the need of the investigation we publish
herewith some matters which certainly
call for an explanation.

To remove the doubt from the minds
of some people that Sheriff Jarrad had
asked pay for the board of 102 prisoners
said to have been confined in the Jail
March 25th, we give below the names of
the prisoners, date of commitment, date
of discharge and number of days board
charged, taken from the bill submitted

"A Step in the Right Direction.

The board of supervisors struck a
blow at the deputy sheriff graft in the
matter of court attendance by the pas
sage of the following resolutions, but
two votes being recorded against the
same:
Resolved, That il is the sense of this
board that hereafter the Sheriff and
two other officers should care for all
work at each term of the Circuit Court
and that pay for but three off GERS will
be allowed for attendance at the ses-
sions of the Circuit Court unless by or
der of the Circuit Judge other officers
are directed to be present. It is further
Resolved, That said officers shall be
constantly in attendance upon the
daily sessions Of the Court unless actual
ly engaged in performing official duties
TO the court and that COM
pensaticn will only be allowed for
actual attendance.

Chamber Of Commerce Endorses In
vestigation.

The meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce on Wednesday evening was not
largely attended but several matters of
interest to the city were discussed by
those present, and committees were ap-
pointed to investigate and report later
on proposition from manufacturing
concern and as to the law touching
transient dealers-the latter committee
with authority to engage legal services
and to proceed along lines for the pro-
lection of Owosso merchants.
The action of the board of supervisors
in ordering an investigation of the sher-
ifs accounts and the justice dockets was
brought up and an animated discussion
followed, with the result that COM
mittee of five was appointed to draft
resolutions-there being one vote
against the appointment of the COM
mittee and the adoption of the follow
ing resolutions:
Resolved, By the Chamber of Com
MERGE of Owosso, Michigan, that the
action of the Board of Supervisors in
appointing committee to investigate
the sheriffs Office in reference to bills
submitted for board of prisoners, court
attendance, ETC., and of the justice
courts, is heartily commended; and be it
further
Resolved, That we, with all other
loyal citizens of the county, demand
that the investigations of the commit.
and thorough manner, and that the
moral and financial support if needed,
of the Chamber of Commerce is assured
to the supervisors committee.

This makes total bill for the deputy
of $12 40. Note the charge of ten miles
travel for arresting Witzleben who was
in Durand. The charge for three meals
would indicate that the prisoner was
kept in the Durand Jail Saturday night
and taken to the county Jail Sunday
night at an expense of $2.00,' to be re-
turned Monday morning for arraign-
ment before a justice. Study the ex-
pense account. Witzleben was SEN
fenced to Jail for ten days beginning
May 10.
The next chapter in the case runs as
follows, the bill also being rendered by
Denutv HOvev.

Wise Action.

The board of supervisors passed q
resolution this morning repeating all
resolutions heretofore adopted instruct
ing the county clerk to draw orders
monthly for the payment of one half of
any bills rendered by the sheriff, un-
der.sheriff, deputy sheriff, constables
and justices. Hereafter all bills will
have to be audited and allowed by the
supervisors before any payment will be
made. 1t is a long step in the right
direction

Possibly this discrepancy can be ex-
planned by the sheriff and if so the peo-
pie will be Interested in the explanation.
From the report it will be seen that
the average number of prisoners in the
Jail each day during the year was 3s.

a CASE KEQUIRIN6 SOME EAFLANA
TON.
On Saturday night May 6, Fred Wit
zleben was arrested in Durand village
for creating disturbance at the home
of Miss Kelly. The bill rendered by
Deputy Sheriff Hovey in the case is as
follows
May7-Arrested Fred witzleben so

The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1905-10-27

In connection with this last arrest
there is an opportunity for some one to
do some explaining. Witzleben was
sentenced to Jail May 12 for ten days
for drunkenness. Sheriff Jarrad's bill
to the county shows the following
entries, arrested, May 7, committed,
May 10, discharged May 81, Is days
board 81 So" On May II, four days
before the Jail record shows he was dis
charged, Witzleben applied to Ira
Barnes. of Burns township, for work,
having previously worked for him. On
the 18th he left during the absence of
Mr.. and Mrs. Barnes, and on the Sat
urday evening following, May goth, it
was discovered that Mrs Barnes watch
and pocket book were missing. Deputy
Hovey was notified and the next day
phoned Mr. Barnes that he had found
WitEleben in Durand and had him I'M
der arrest. Mr.. Hovey also stated to
Mr.. and Mrs. Barnes the next morning
that he found Witlzeben in Durand.
The Press American of May 22d says
Witzleben was arrested in Durand, as
does dispatch to the Detroit Evening
News the same date. Mr.. Hovey has
rendered bill for making the arrest in
Detroit. 1t would seem as though some
explanation was required on the part of
Mr.. Hovey.
Sheriff Jarrad might also tell us why
Witzleben was discharged from Jail
four or more days before his sentence
expired and why he has asked the tax
payers of the county to pay board for
him for the four or more days during
which he was at liberty. Is it a custom
to turn prisoners out before the expira-
ton of their sentence and to charge
board for the full time?

WARREN JARRAD,


The people of the county paid Deputy
Sheriff Tilden for five days work at
49, 90 per day for making out the above
report-a total of SO. How hard the
deputy worked can be as well imagined
by any of our readers as ourselves.
Possibly the money was well expended
as some information of value is given.
For instance the report states that "the
whole number of prisoners remaining
in the Jail at the close of the year for
which this report is made" was II. The
bill of the sheriff for board Of prisoners
for that date gives the number as 20,
the names of the prisoners, date of COM
mitment and discharge is as follows;

GAVE RosTAND HIS START.
Sarah Bernhardt Had Faith In the
Playwright's Ability.


Sarah Bernhardt Had Faith In the
Playwright's Ability.
Edmond Rostand, the great French
playwright, had the usual difficulty in
getting hearing when first he began
to write for the stage. Sarah Bern
hardt was directly responsible for the
primal achievement Of this successor
of Victor Hugo Nine. Bernhard grew
greatly interested in Rostand's first
play, La Princesse Lointaine," and
suggested that he give public reading
Of the manuscript at her theater.
To this reading the actress invited
Coquelin, whose attention was riveted
from the very first line and who, walk
ing home with the poet, gave it as his
opinion that his companion was to be-
come the greatest dramatist Of the age.
Il bind myself, here and now, to take
any play which you write Qn which
there is a part for mel without read
ing 1t" he said, ito cancel any en-
gagement | may have on hand and to
produce your piece with the least pos
sible delay"
Such faith as this proved veritabIe
backbone to Rostand, who had lost all
hope Of exciting interest ia his work.
A few years later Coquelin produced
"Cyrano," the success of which has
passed into histrionic history. 1t was
gratitude to Nine. Bernhard for her
share in giving him this opportunity
that made Rostand write "L'Aiglon,"
which many critics consider the great
est tragedy Of modern times. Nine.
Bernhardt made fortune from the
play, which she presented not only in
France, but also in England and Amer
