Topeka JOintist Must Go to
Jail, Says Court.

The supreme court today issued a
judgment of custer against Raj h
Martin, sheriff of Cherokee county.
Martin was suspended some months
ago by the supreme court pending final
action in the suit brought against him
nearly a year ago by the attorney
general. He was charged with dere-
Hction of duty and corruption in the
enforcement of the pronibitory law in
his county.
He is cleared of the charges of the
dereliction in the service of process, and
of connivance at corruption" says the
court in it's opinion han led down today
But for his omission to take affirm
ative, active steps in aid of the en-
forcement of the prohlbttory law;
judgment of custer is rendered against
him."
The attorney general brought this
action against Martin to oust him
from his office as sheriff of Cherokee
county, upon the charge of wilIfull neg
lect of duty enjoined upon him by law
Upon a preliminary hearing Martin
was suspended. A moticr. was made
to set aside the order of suspension on
the grounds that the statutes under
which the action was brought is un-
constitutional. This action was over
