but the civil court instead. You
will find this by reading section .
Of act 176 of 1898.
AS to your invitation to come
to Vaudeville any Sunday and
see the bar rooms there openly
violate the Sunday law, the Gay
Shattuck law and the gambling
laws, | think you ask too much.
AS you know this is entirely out
of my line Of duty. The District
Attorneys office was never inten-
ded to be a detective office and
none of my predecessors used it
as such, besides, if it were, you
know that it would be physical
impossibility for any one to 60 all
over the district and ferret out the
numerous violations Of the Jaw.
The law makers knew this when
they provided for sheriffs, consta-
bles, town marshals, justices OF
peace and the grand jury. These
are the officials whose duty 1t is
to bring the law violators to the
courts and then it is the District
Attorneys duty to present the
states side of the case to the
court, and this, | tlatter myself to
say, | have done as faithfully as
| know how.
As far as my knowledge goes
there has not been a single affida-
Wit against any Of these saloon
men neither has there Uee'' SIN
gle complaint m;"e before the
grand jury. The foreman Of the
present grand jury lives in or
near Vaudeville and ne seems to
be a very upright and conscien-
tious man and | believe il tle
matter is brought before him ala.
the proper proof furnished that
he will see that the parties are
hailed before the conrt, and | as
sure you if they are they will
never 90 UNPUBLISHED because of
any neglect on my part.
You have your own officers,
locally, whose duty it is to clean
up these violators and don't you
think it unfair personally and
otherwise, to ask me to take the
place and perform the duties
that the law delegates to others.
The saloon men Of St. Tam
many were billed once since have
been in office and not one of
them escaped and if they are
billed again, or any one Of them
| as your District Attorney will
do my duty.
Your brother has to do with the
appointing of the foreman Of the
grand jury as we'll as the jury
commissioners who selects the
grand jury and l am sure he
wants the law enforoed, and j
you will meet Us, lAe Judge and
