Supervisor Link moves to accept and

Motion carried.
Report of District Attorney for Ke-
nosha County.
To the Hon. John T. Yule, Chairman,
and inc Members of the County
Board of Supervisors of Kenosha
County:
An Investigation has brought to my
attention the fact that no report lex
Ecept money coming into the hands of
the District Attorney has been made
to the County Board Of Supervisors for
several years by the several district at
torneys who have held Office. in Kenosha
County. do not mean to infer that
the district attorneys have failed in
any duty for the reason that no such
report is required by law, feel that
such a report might well be made at
this time in order that the members of
the County Board may understand the
condition of affairs and the amount of
work devolving upon such county Of
fcissl.
/ therefore herewith respectfully
submit my report for the period com
mencing January 9th, 1918, and ending
November 9th, 1913, being a period of
ten months.
Respectfully submitted,
Alfred z. Drury,
District Attorney.
Dated at Kenosha, Wisconsin, this
tenth day of November, 1913.
Appearance by the District Attorney
in State cases:
Justice Branch Municipal Court las
cases: Preliminary hearing, SO cases;
Circuit Branch Municipal Court, 80
cases; Circuit Court, IL eases; old cases
disposed of in Circuit Court, 23 cases.
Total rcases, 277.
This does not include appearance by
the District Attorney in the examina-
ton of witnesses on inquest cases or
appearances in the Juvenile Court or
appearance in the commitment of per-
sons to the Home for the Feeble
Minded
Statement of Fines and Costs Paid.
Justice Branch Municipal Court, 81
$500; Circuit Branch Municipal Court,
$533.63; Circuit Court, $362.5S; Frelim-
mary hearings, 1929; total $2,5o1.20.
You will notice that in the Justice
Branch out of 145 cases (where the de-
PENDANT has not been committed to
jail) costs have been paid in all except
Il cases. OF this number 7 were vag-
rancy cases; four were petty larceny;
one was carry concealed weapon; one
was non-support and one fugitive
from justice. 1T must be remembered
that Migrants never have any money;
that occasionally an innocent defendant
is arrested; and that the fugitive from
justice was not called for by the State
of Colorado which caused him to be ar
rested
You will notice that Id cases of NON
support appear in the report of the
Circuit Branch of the Municipal Court.
In addition to this number if there was
one there was so cases in which no
warrants were issued, for the reason
that the commencement Of such pro-
ceedings in this county does not bring
the desired results. The object of the
law is to compel men to support their
families and to save the city and sew
eral towns and the county from the ex-
pense of supporting such families out of
the pauper fund. In this class Of cases
the average man has no fear of the
county jail and the city, town or county
responsible for the support of the fam
lily objects to the defendant being sent
to Waupun on account of the expense
of supporting the family during the en-
tire period of the term to which the
defendant is sentenced. The "Hard
Labor Law is not success for the rea-
son that no available employer will en-
ploy such men. BY reason of this con-
