MAKES A STATEMENT
 OF HIS CASE
As Magistrate He Has Been Acting with Authority of
 Ordinances.
DENIES MANY RUMORS

Acting under the provisions Of the recent decision of Judge Jennings in the Peter Collender case which held that the city of Juneau had no right to imprlson any man for the nonpayment of a fine levied by the police court, the chief of police has released all of the prisoners who were confined in the city jail, with the exception of Wilhelm Erickson
 Statements have been made of late by persons dissatisfied with the present state of affairs that the city magistrate and city clerk are doing all in their power to drive working men away from the city lt has fre- quently been observed that the mem bers Of the police force have gone out Of their way to send many a man to his home when he was not too big a nuisance.
 A search of the records of the police court made this morning showed that in the past. sentences on prisoners for being drunk and disorderly have been materially high CT than at present, and also that they were sentenced to hard labor" in numerous instances.
 Petit Makes Statement
 When questioned today Magistrate E. W. Petit said:
 "City Ordinance No. 24 passed in July 1908 provides for the working of city prisoners on public work, and provides for the Magistrate entering the same in his judgment Section 2OS2 of the compiled statutes for Alaska provides for a credit of S2OO for each days labor performed by prisoners, which section has been considered as applying to the city prisoners. On the authority of said acts have considered 1t my duty to so word the judgments in tho mat ter of city prisoners laboring for the city.
 "There has been no change in my policy in this regard since l have held the office of magistrate. As to whether or not that part of the iudg ment was carried out was left en. tirely to the marshal and the city council.
 'In looking over the magistrates docket I find that some of the mag istrates used the words hard labor which las never been used by me.
 "ln the matter Of prisoners being denied to see friends or to procure counsel before trial. l will state that am willing to make affidavit that such right has never been denied any prisoner and it is my policy to never inconvenience attorneys and witnesses to accomplish this right for the prisoner.
 "ln looking back over the magis trate's docket find that the sem tences and fines imposed of recent date are materially less than those imposed by any other magistrate. | will state that do not use the past IS a guide, but try to give justice 10 the city and to the defendant rom the facts disclosed to me at the trial"
