It occurred to The Day Book
that the people ought to know
about the poverty-stricken condi-
ton in which they were keeping
their servants, and told the people,
about it, thus arousing the wrath
of Lewis and McInerney, both Of
whom are modest, retiring gem
tlemen.
This time Lewis has horned his
way into notice, not by defending
a breaker of the laws, but by not
prosecuting one. Lewis did this
to oblige a friend, another Of the
peoples assistant pteventers Of
prosecution.
The case of Edward Prinde-
vile, charged with breaking the
city sanitation ordinances, was
called in Municipal Judge Fry's
courtyesterday.
Lewis is the assistant city pros
ecutor attached to Fry's COURT
He appeared in the case and
asked for a continuance.
Charles B. Ball, chief sanitary
inspector, demanded that Prinde-
vile go to trial.
Lewis was asked for his reason
for asking for a continuance. He
explained as follows:
"Mr. Prindeville's son, Edward
A. Prindeville, is, like myself, an
assistant city prosecutor. I had a
talk with young Mr.. Prindeville

Lewis, assistant preventer of the
prosecution of those who break
the city ordinances and state
laws, has forced his way into the
linelight once more.
Lewis is given $1,000 a year of
the peoples money and the title
of assistant city prosecutor" by
grace of Chief City Prosecutor
McInerney, supposed to have
been acting on behalf of the peo-
pie.
The last time Lewis horned his
way into print was when he APP
peared to defend two labor agents
accused of breaking the laws of
the state in the Desplaines street,
Municipal Court.
The Day Book at that time
asked Chief Prosecutor McIner-
ney how-it-came that men paid by
the people to prosecute offenders
were so busy defending them.
McInerney indulgently ex-
planned to The Day Book that the
people only pay assistant city
prosecutors $1,000 a year, mere
pittance, and that for this amount
the assistants were only-supposed
to prosecute the offenders ap-
pearing in one court.
''If my assistants wish to de
fend offenders in Municipal
Courts other than the particular
one to which they are attached"
said McInerney, "they are quite
within theirsrights in doing So"
McInerney then went on to ex-
