"A new SYSTEM
County Attorney Has One for
JOintist Cases.
And JOintiSt Looks on 1t With
Little Favor.

\ new system of handling liquor
cases, and one that is not appealing
particularly to the jointists, is being
prosecuted by County Attorney Will
liam +. Atchispn and his assistants. 1t
is d brand new system. and so far the
friends of the prohibitory law say it is
working nicely.
Most of the cases being tried this
week in the second division of the dis
trict court are those in which arrests
have been made in the last month
For one thing AtchiSon wants no cases
: hanging fire until his witnesses
have disappeared or forgotten the cir
cumstances. and is pushing every case
to trial as fast as possible. Inasmuch
as liquor cases are miSdemeanors the
defendants cannot compel wait until
the beginning of new term to try
them, but may be forced to stand trial
in the same term in which they were
arrested.
Another new feature is that Atchi-
son is making no wholesale raids on
the joints, but is persistently raiding
few at a time. and is not waiting
more than few days between raids.
The fact that a man was raided yes
that he may not be raided again next
week, and because he has been tried
in the last week by no means releases
him from another trial if he is caught
again with the goods on"
1t has been the custom to set all
liquor cases for trial in the term fol-
lowing the arrests. Atchison is
breaking all records in forcing early
hearings, some of the cases coming
up this week being only a few days
old, and in some of the arrests hav-
ing been made only a week or ten
days
There will be very few liquor cases
to enter on the April term docket that
are carried over from thespresent term
if the present system is continued.
Where there is not sufficient evidence
to go to trial Atchison disnisses and
goes after the violators again. The
system is looked upon with anything
but favor bv the jOintiSts.
