IN DISTRICT COURT.
Judge Dana Ezxclaims Against Practice
of Appealing City Cases.

Declaring bonds forfeited, imposing
maximum sentences. and enlarging
fines imposed in police court, Judge
A. w. Dana of the district court this
morning made strenuous objection to
the large number Of cases appealed
from Judge Huron's court for no rea-
son except to gain time. The maxi
mum fine or an amount larger than
that imposed by the police judge was
given in every case. Appeals, the
court declared. are made with abso-
lutte disregard of expense to the
county.
In addition to the city sentences.
Judge Dana pronounced words which
will send two negroes to the peniten-
tiary. Charles Winn, convicted of the
wilful murder of Anna Austin, was
sentenced to hard labor for life at
Lansing. George Smith, the man with
the long list of aliases, convicted of
stealing a diamond ring from the man
he called his friend, must work at the
pen for five years.
I'VE have been at work a solid week
carrying panel of thirty men at an
expense of 800 per day to the coun-
ty," declared Judge Dana. in connec-
ton with the city appeal cases. The
court finds appeals are brought here
absolutely regardless of expense to the
county. There has not been a grain
of defense in many Of these cases"
"1f the police court had ruled in
