police character. is wanted by Ches-
ter penitentiary officials. The colored
man was arrested yesterday afternoon,
and answers perfectly the description
Of the prisoner who violated his parole

Smith over, was confident that he is
the same man that was committed 10
the Chester penitentiary Nov. s, 1907,
on a burglary and larceny convic-
ton Smith will probably be taken
10 Chicago in order that his bertillion
measurements may be taken, TO permit
OF comparison with the prison files.
Some months ago, Smith took unto
himself a wife. in the parsonage OF
the notorious Cora Mack. There have
been frequent squabbles in the house
hold and three days ago Cora had
her husband arrested because he drove
some gentleman callers from the
house

BRINN TELLS OF

Says Lack of Assistants in

Delaying Prosecutions.

1T is an outrage the way our police
court is handicapped because of the
absence of an assistant states attor-

this morning, in conversation with the
newspaper men. Something should
be done Immediately to remedy condi-
tons as they exist.
States Attorney Thompson cannot

why is il that there is no assistant ap-

office of county prosecutor one of his
assistants was on the job every day.
State cases should certainly be han

but how can the states attorney he
everywhere az once? We try to do the
best we can with these cases, but the
police certainly cannot be expected TO
bring out the evidence as well as a
special prosecutor, hired for that es.
pecial purpose.
Because of the lack OF suffice
help in the States attorneys office. the
cases are piling up SO rapidly that il
is doubtful whether or not eve will ever

We are being treated shamefully in
