Whereas, For years past judges of
Everett police court. as well as jus
tees of the peace of Everett, have
been in the habit of adding to a Jail
sentence provision that the SEM
tence be suspended if the convicted
one leave the city or county forth
with. and
Whereas. There is no authority in
law for such sentence to leave the
county, all of which is well known
by the judge pronouncing such sem
tence. and under such Convictions"
the accused is usually innocent of
any crime, but has been made the
goat to satisfy petty spite, and
Whereas, The victim in vast ma
iorty of cases is a laboring man. and
has been "kangarooed" without an
opportunity to get an attorney to
present his side of the case,
Now therefore, be it resolved by
Everett Trades Council in regular
