Des Moines. Oct. 1l.-Should de-
tective be allowed to sit on a coroners
jury? This Is a question that is being
asked by some of the pepole of Des
Moines since the arrest of Ben MUIR
row on the orders OF a coroner's jury
Of which Detective Sims was the fore
man. Lawyers are asking whether 1t
| would not be just as reasonable to
have the county attorney as the fore
man of the petit jury before which a
person Is tried on an indictment.
There are ever people ready to pay
their compliments to the police and
detective service IN Des Moines as In
other cities. "A policeman or detective
has but one idea and that is to con-
vict some one said a Des Moines man
/ today. His idea is not always to con-
! Wet the guilty, tho he would claim that
is his purpose HIS purpose is 10 con-
vict some one and he reasons that IL
person is convicted necessarily he
must be the guilty party. Here is this
Ben Murrow case. Many people believe
Ben Murrow to be innocent He was
about the only person to suspicion not
because there was any grounds much
for suspicioning him but because there
was no one else to suspicion. SO the
police suspicioned him and now he is
arrested.
| Now as soon as he is arrested. what
do the police do? Do they keep on
hunting up evidence and investga ting
! the matter to determine whether or
not Murrow is the guilty party and
whether or not 1t might be somebody
else. No. They have stopped their work
entirely. And every day the scent is
growing colder Suppose when the trial
of Murrow comes he is proven inno-
cent. 1t will by that time be entirely
too late to begin new hunt for the
real murderer.
'The Murrow case is only typical of
the methods usually employed by a
police and detective force. But to put
a detective on the coroner's jury is the
limit. The detective has but one idea
and that is to convict the man
whom he suspicious. He does
not approach the matter as a disinter-
ested Juror to ascertain the facts AS
well have the county attorney who has
studied the evidence against an indict-
ed person and is doing his best as ne
is expected to do. to convict him sit as
foreman of the jury before whom the
man is tried. What the public wants is
that the guilty shall always be con-
victed, not that somebody shall be con
victed. 1t is as much crime to convic,
an Innocent person as is the original
crime in the first place. I am satisfied
that in a good many cases innocent
persons have been convicted here in
Polk county and to be charged with
the crime when innocent even when
acquitted is a life long disgrace to a
man."

problemat3cal to some extent, as the
counters did not commence their work
until late.
The fact that the petition as been
filed does not mean that saloons WIN
open at once as the board Of euper-
visors must pass upon its sufficAency
first. This can not be done until the
next regular meeting OF the board
which comes on Monday. Nov. I. It
is che duty of the supervisors to can
Nss the petition, and to remove there
from any names than do not appear
properly affixed.
It as quite probable that a number
VIII be employed at once to carefully
go over the petition and possibly q
counter petition will be started without
delay. The plans OF the Law Enforce
ment League, however are not yet
announced, but they admit that every
possible effort will be exerted to kill the
petition.

to file the consent petition had beel
granted the saloonists.
