COUNTY OFFICERS
MUST STAND TRIAL
One Escapes Upon Time Limit
Peterson Indictment
Quashsd

All but one Of the indictments
against former County Commissioner
E. ]. Estes were held by Judge Gra-
ham Tuesday to be good. The indict-
ments against Commissioners Bolander
and DeVinny were also held by the
court to be good and legal in form.
The indictment against F. c. Peterson,
clerk of the Board, was quashed on the
ground that over eighteen months had
elapsed since the alleged acts with
which he was charged had been com
mitted.
The ruling of the court follows a
week Of arguments upon the validity
of the indictments.
Following the ruling Of the court
Mr. Estes was arraigned and pleaded
not guilty to each of the indictments
as they were read. 1t is expected that
later in the day the same Formally
will be gone through with by Mr.. Be-
lander and Mr.. Deyinny.
Attorneys for Mr.. Estes asked until
next Saturday to file bill of cxcep-
tons and at that time further argu-
ments will be heard upon this matter
Meantime, it is understood, the trial
of Mr.. Estes may be begun unless 9th.
cr technical questions are to be dispos.
ed of.
Later an agreement was reached be-
tween attorneys that the trial of Mr.
Estes be set for February 9th and that
of Mr.. Bolander and Mr.. DeVinny the
week following. 1t is estimated that
the trial of Mr.. Estes will take about
thirty days. Weld County Republican.
The above gives the standing of the
cases to date. Quashing the Peterson
indictment is not satisfactory from any
point Of view. 1t simply says that if a
crime was committed it was so long
ago that he cannot be punished, a sort
Of escape that would be very humiliat-
ing to any honest man.
In our judgment Mr.. Peterson ought
to resign his Office.
