WHAT IT MEANS
TO "STAY" A FINE
When Friends Say They viii
Pay Prisoners Fine They
Must Make Good.
NO "HEDGING" ABOUT IT
CONVICTED NAN CANNOT GO TO
JAIL TO SAVE HIS SURETiES
ALTHOUGH He MAY BE iNCliN-
ED TO DO SO.

There are numerous erroneous i'm
pressions that prevail with referen-
&c TO the operation of the city police
court, bur perhaps the most wide
spread ignorance is with reference TO
the payment of fines that are impos-
ed
Recently a man was arrested in
Richmond on minor charge and he
was convicted His fine was stay
ed or in other words guaranteed by
two friends This arrangement inn
piled that the convicted person would
in the "fulness of time" liouidate
with the city government for the ben
eft of the school fund, but the full
ness even developed into matured
ripeness, and still no settlement. The
sureties on the fine were commune
Gated with and one of them saw 10
it that the convicted man was
brought to the city hall and surrend-
cred to the authorities. He was lock
ed up.
The surefies felt that they had per-
formed their full duty and innocentlv
enough dismissed the incident from
their minds until the police court
attaches served notice that the fine
against the man in question must be
! paid In answer the sureties declar-
ed that they had turned over the con-
victed man and that he could be sent
| to Jail Ito lay out the fine.
! Were Unfamiliar With Statutes.
| Until then these men were not
! aware that the Indiana statutes do
not provide that fines can be laid
I out The men in question were call
! ed upon 10 settle the fine, the pay
ment of which they had guaranteed
weeks ago. They settled. There
have been numerous similar incidents
in the city police court and they APP
pear to be growing in frequency.
When man is fined in the city po-
..ce court. the record of this fact goes
on the docket and the fine is not
liauidated even il the individual
lays out a term in the county jail.
The imposition of jail sentence in
default of a fine does not render the
convicted person clear of indebted
ness 1t is of course the rule that
where men are convicted in police
court and do not have money to liz
uidate that they are not pressed fcN
payment after they have been releas-
ed from JAIL but technically speaking
they still owe the police court.
Where fines are stayed the pay
ment must be made. even though the
convicted person finally is remanded
TO jail because of failure TO meet the
obligation which his bondsmen. guar
anteed.

solutely important 1t is that both the
representatives from this county and
the Senator from this district, should
be sincerely and in dead earnest for
the extension of the Adams law to
Columbia and Mt. Pleasant. For II
they unanimously recommend 1t, 1t
will unquestionably pass the legisla-
ture. and Mr.. Patterson has said that
he will sign the bill. Whereas If they
are divided, by implication at least
Mr.. Patterson has said that he will
either veto the bill, or relegate 1t to
the people for vote. f.
Mr.. Patterson's position Is fair and
tenable, and Democratic. II the peo-
pie are divided, he will return the
question to them to settle their own
disputes. II they are united, he will
give them what they, through their
local representatives ask for.
That is fair and we accept the H.
sue. II the people of Maury county
want the saloons to go, they must
vote them to go, and instruct theiI
representative accordingly. The fight
was already on. Mr.. Patterson's ut
terances will only serve to intensity
the interest. The matter, so far az
saloons In this county are concerned
is left entirely in the hands of the
Democratic voters of Maury county
whom, we are fully persuaded, viii
acquit themselves as christian patriots
should.
