with Z. s. Deputy Marshal Bolton in a
simi ar way just previous to the last
term of federal court at Greeneville,
which resnlted in many convictions,
and it has been understood between
the police aud deputy marshal since
that this work would be done previous
to the approaching term of the court.
The police had asked the deputy
marshal to come at an earlier date, but
it was impossible for him to do so on
account of work at Newport and other
places.
1t will be remembered that this coun-
ty has no work house system, and to
prosecute large numbers of this class
of offenders in magistrates court and
have them placed in Jail long while
previous to circuit court and after con-
viction creates an expense ON the coun-
ty which the taxpayers Justly complain
of.
In consideration of the foregoing
facts, it was thought best to turn over
to Marshal Bolton those who were ac-
cused, believing that in this way the
law would be upheld and the guilty
parties made to suffer just punishment
and the taxpayers of johnson City and
Washington county be saved from
heavy burdens.
Actuated by sinister motives, certain
persons have sought, by distorting
facts, to prejudice the minds of the
pubGc against the police officers OF
johnson City, and because of this fact
we deem it right to state, as we have
done in the foregoing article, some OF
the most prominent facts connected
with the last raid on bootleggels.
