Time and Money Saved.
BY timely preparation in advance
OF the trial. we speed the trial, facili-
tate the progress Of the Court. save
the jurors and witnesses useless
waste Of time. and save the County
money And this is our method. and
it is the only possible method for
economy on the part Of the District
Attorneys office. as the office ex-
ponds no public money creates no
debts. makes no disbursements and
handles no public money. The office
is handled in a business way and as a
business office.
Record Largely Due to The Efficiency
Of the Sheriffs and ConstabIe's
Office and to a Splendid Police
Force.
The record made by the District At
torney's office could not have been
made without the splendid. active as
sistance Of Sheriff Orndorff and his
force Of efficient deputies and the
Police force, and last, but not least,
to the County Attorneys office, with
W H Fryer as the human dynamo
Tor law enforcement we are indebted
for the painstaking records Of exam
ming and Court Of Inquiry trials sent
up 10 US, as they have been of indis-
pensa5le service, for that they have
facilitated US and the Grand Juries
in dispatching work. Seth Orudorff I
the ubiquitous Sheriff. and his force
Of splendid Deputies. have given usI
night and day active and. when need
be. sleepless service. while c. N. Nc /
and his deputies. with Miss
Haynes at the head. have rendered .
such service as enabled Judge Howe
and ourselves to dispatch the most {
work in the least time.
