AN 1TRM in The News respecting cor
oner's fees has brought forth some criti-
cism. The stand taken by this paper and
also by the retiring Auditor, was that
coroners are not entitled to fifty cents for
messenger service in notifying the officials
of sudden deaths. The Interpretation put
upon the statute was that this fee was to
be paid only In case of body being found
along the shore, but one of the coroners
claims that this is not the case and that
fifty cents may be collected by any person
giving information of any sudden death.
THE News sticks to Its original statement
and in support of this claim refers to the
act of March IS, 1856, which provides that
If it shall at any time hereafter SO. happen
that coroner or justice of the peace can
not be had in due time to take charge OF
any body thrown upon any of the shores
of this state by shipwreck, then and In
sucb case and under such circumstances
only the commissioner Of wrecks shall
take charge of the body. And the same
law provides that under the above circum-
stances the person finding the body and
informing any properly authorized oflcer.
shall be en- titled to receive fifty cents and
mileage. There was wisdom In this pro-
vision as it was for the purpose of having
immediate attention given to bodies cast
IN on the shore, where they might pos
sibly lie for days unless some one was
compensated for giving notice to the
nroner authorities. The law OF 1856 has
never been amended, so far az we can as
certain. to the extent of allowing coroner
anxious for business, to have messengers
all over the county who will telephone Oh
otherwise notify him Of sudden deaths
and then have the county pay fifty cents
for the service. If the officer is so DESTROYS
of getting cases he should be willing to
share his fees with his lieutenants There
10 no evidence that tue exacting OF fee
of fifty cents for the purpose mentioned is
at all legal, even though in 1901 1t wal
charged and allowed. In fact that would
soon 70 he an instance where fees taken
from the treasury should be returned.
Ex-Apditor Worrell was perfectly justin,
al IN his action of Withholding the amoun'
mentioned and the new Auditor Will &c
well to look carefully into the law When
similar charges are presented to him.

THIRD DEGREE" examinations of GRIM
inals seem to be custom which should be
abolished or else greatly curtailed. The
process by which many men are made to
acknowledge guilt or make some incrim-
mating admission are not only uncalled
for but are brutal. A man is arrested for
q serious crime and IL taken to jail. With
out the privilege of consulting counsel he
is confronted by Prosecutor of the Pleas
and two or three detectives and his state
ments are taken by stenographer. The
prisoner Is warned" before he says any
thing that he need not talk if he does not
want to and that what he says will be used
against him at the trial. Without counsel or
any one to advise him, with mind disturbed
over the circumstances which have
have brought him to the position he is at
the time occupying, confronted by those
whose principal object is to convict him,
harassed for hours by his questioners,
the accused man Is liable to make state
ment which, under other circumstances,
might be modified. When his trial occurs,
with counsel to defend him, he is put on
the stand and after telling his story he is
confronted with a statement taken in
private and he is compelled to explain why
there is such difference between the two
stories. But, it is argued, If such an
arrangement were not allowed 1t would be
impossible to convict criminals. That is
not SO. Every man is supposed to be In
nocent until proven guilty, but it is exact
ly the opposite and every effort is made
to get man charged with crime to ac-
knowledge his guilt and then the States
lawyers lie back and contentedly allow the
other side to try and undo the work that
has already been performed. The least
that could be done when these private in
quiries are to be made would be to allow
a prisoner to have counsel to advise him
whether to answer, but this Is carefully
avoided and after warning" is given
every effort is put forth to get a statement
that will criminate the man under the
third degree.

MOUNT HOLLY
The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1908-12-15

On THE first Of January the Burlington
County Board of Freeholders will meet at
Mount Holly. for the purpose of preparing
business for next year. Under recent
decision the financial year of the Board
ends with December 81. In this view the
appropriations made last May were to
regulate expenses for less than eight
months, and on the first of January there
will be items prepared for the entire year.
A glance at the figures of last spring will
show that there was not much reduction
in estimates, the amount appropriated for
the balance of the year being equal almost
to that for the entire previous year. In
1907 the Board voted for year, the sum
of 5000, 1872. In May last the amount
set aside for use until January /, was
sos, 266.58, an increase of over 81, 900,
for period of four months less than In
1907. The books Of the Auditor indicate
that there will not be much of the appro-
priation of 1908 left when the bills are
paid at the meeting next week. This is a
matter that needs careful watching by the
finance committee when preparing the
budget for consideration at the January
meeting. The utmost necessity for econ
cmy and pruning of estimates is apparent.
To increase the amount used in the last
eight months will be inexcusable. Elk
penditures must be considered In accord
with what the treasury can afford. The
county tax rate on which money was
raised for the entire year of 1907 was 70
cents, five cents less than in 1905. In 1908,
for eight months the tax rate was SO cents.
People complain about the high tax rates
and are disposed to find fault with the
County Board of Taxation for the condi-
ton, when in fact that body is not respon-
sible. If the Board of Freeholders insists
upon raising the appropriations to the
utmost limit. the people will be called
upon to pay the freight.

RECKLESS automobile driving has
reached such a stage that 1t not only has
attracted attention from those who use the
roads but the members of automobile
clubs have taken action and will see that
some.regard is paid to the law on the sub
Ject. e. r. Thomas has been expelled
from the New Jersey Automobile. and
Motor Club for going at high speed last
August at Long Branch, when he collided
with carriage and injured woman. He
has been confined to his room ever since
from the injuries he received, and was not
able to attend the hearing. The charge
against Thomas was violating the auto
mobile speed laws of the club and the
speed laws of New Jersey. Another ad-
ministration of justice was given in the
case of a chauffeur who ran his machine
up Broadway, New York, at forty miles
an hour. He was fRed $3.50 and was sent
to Jail for thirty days.
