TWO days after that and on the 18th

the assistant attorney general of $3.50.
That took up $500. The costs of the
sheriff were paid with the sum Of SIS
In that proceeding, and the costs of the
clerk were marked up at SIS more.
That concluded that transaction. The
money on the 18th was paid into the
hands of the clerk: then the clerk paid
over to the parties who were entitled
to 1t. reserving his SIS, and the whole
transaction was closed.
"Reprehensible and Wrong"
The defendant in this case-the as
sistant attorney general, demanded
$3.50. If it wasn't due-if there was no
necessity of paying it at that time; II
there was no debt of his which he had
a right to give 1t in exchange for-to
satisfy. then it will be your bounden
duty to find this officer guilty OF a
misdemeanor.
Further, 1 wish to say to you that
I think the conduct of, the assistant
attorney general, in this matter was
entirely reprehensible and wrong; he
didn't have a dollar due and could not
have had at the time he received this
$3.50 At that moment he could not have
filed an action in court and obtained a
judgment against Wayne HCrlburt,
but he had no. right until the court In
its wisdom adjudged the fee due the
defendant, to take a cent as assistant
attorney general"

Afterward Turned Over, but
Committed Technical Offense.

Kansas City Kan, Aug. sc. w.
Trfckett, the assistant attorney general
appointed to enforce the prohibitory
law in Wyandotte county, was yester-
day found guilty by jury in the
north division of the city court, Kan
sas City, Kan, of accepting fees lille
sa'y In the prosecution of one of his
liquor cases. The case went to the
jury shortly after O'Clock in the af-
ternoon. and after being out less than
thirty minutes a verdict of guilty as
charged in the information was re-
turned.
The court room was crowded, when
the jury returned with its verdict, but
1t required few minutes to summon
the attorneys in the case before the
findings Of the jury were announced.
Mr.. Trickett and his law partner, L. w.
keplinger. were both present when the
verdict was read by Judge M. H. New
hall. .7f ~
rs this your verdict, gentlemen?
asked Judge Newhall. Each Juror an
swered in the affirmative. The jury
men were then discharged and left the
court room in the midst of applause
from the many spectators.
Attorney Keplinger asked Judge
Newha1l to stay sentence until today
at 1880 o'clock. At this time Mr..
Tr1ckett Will appear before the court
Under the law 1t is possible for the
court to impose a fine and Jail sem
tence. 1t is understood that Mr.. Trick
EFT will have an appeal bond ready
and file 1t with the court just as soon
as sentence is passed.
Ta&gart Puts the Case.
County Attorney Joseph Taggart, in
his argument to the jury, said:
THE facts in this case, briefly stat
ed, are these: Some time in August
two years ago, Wayne Hurlburt was
accused in the court Of common pleas
of this county of contempt of a certain
Injunction that had been granted some
time before that; that injunction for
bid the selling of intoxicating liquors
in certain place and upon certain
premises
Now an action was filed against
Wayne Hurlburt, and 1t then became
the duty of the clerk of the court OF
common pleas to Immediately issue
his warrant for the apprehension OF
Hurlburt. Now the evidence in this
case is not entirely clear that the de-
PENDANT in this case filed that accusa-
ton against Wayne Hurlburt, mas
much as the record of the case has, in
some manner sdisappeared
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1908-08-28

TT appears from the evidence that
a brother of Hurlburt, a locomotive
engineer, hearing of his brothers be-
ing in Jail, and having consideration
for him, he went to Mr.. Trickett, as
assistant attorney general, to see what
might be done to secure his release.
Mr.. Hurlburt, according to his state
ment, was there for time and after
they had discussed this matter fully
his brother being in jail-he claims
that the assistant attorney general said
that it would require $275 to pay the
costs-by the way, an attorneys fee Is
treated as costs-pay the attorneys
fee, pay the sheriff's part of the fees
and the clerks part of the feesfor
each are treated as costs and collected
as costs in a case of this kind.
Finally they arrived at $3.50 as the
Frank Hurlburt-agreed to pay. and
this defendant agreed to have his
brother released. This was agreed to
after they had bargained a long while
the lump sum of $3.50 was agreed
upon. Having borrowed $50 from q
friend. the sum was paid to Mr.. Trick
EFT and in ten minutes afterward the
brother Of Mr.. Hurlburt was released
from Jail and was allowed to go his
way.
for you to determine and try in this
case is this: Did this assistant attorney
general. in consideration of the pay
ment to him at that time of $3.50. exer-
else the power of his office to reelase
Wayne Hurlburt from the county jail
Or. to put it in another form: Did he
hold Wayne Hurlburt in the county
Jail until Wayne Hurlburt's brother
disgorged and handed over to him the
sum of $3.50?
Can't Accept Bonds.
I'm order for You to understand that
question more thoroughly there are
many questions to answer. and 1 vii
say to you that you are instructed by
the court. as he read it to you, that q
prosecutor has no power to approve
bonds; that the prosecutor has no pow
er of his own motion to release any
body from Jail; that the only way he
can do that is to dismiss the case, II
the court will allow him to dismiss the
case; that no bond is provided for his
approval; that he has no right to dc
tate whether a man shall or shall not
have bond. The question for you In
this case is this: Did he-pretendine
to exercise the power OF MS
ofice-offer to have the brother o.
