.SYMMONDS NOT
TO ENTER RACE
Sym1nonds in Answer to
Barnett Denies Latter's
Suggestions.
JUST TO SHOW STAND

Declaring that he had no intention
of doing "such foolish thing as to
run as an independent candidate for
district attorney" Attorney Frank
Symmonds, former district attorney of
Kenosha county, made reply today
to the statement issued by District At
torney Morris Barnett on Tuesday in
regard to remarks made by Attorney
Symmonds in an address before the
Optimists club on Monday on the ques-
ton Of law enforcement in Kenosha
county.
81 was merely stating my views re-
garding the situation which exists in
the county and had no idea of groom
ing myself for district attorney as an
independent candidate as Mr.. Barnett
has suggested" declared Attorney
Symmonds. "I was invited to address
the Optimists on the situation and l
accepted and that was all there was
to it.
Attorney Symmonds stated that he
desired to make statement regarding
the Joseph Matzur case, which Attor-
ney, Barnett had mentioned in his re-
ply. The latter had related how the
case against Matzur had been changed
to charge of possession of moon
shine against the wife and that At
torney Syn1monds, as the district at
torney, had suggested clemency for
the wife.
"Justice was done in that case, de-
clared Mr.. Symmonds this morning.
at is the duty of the district attorney
to protect the innocent as well as to
prosecute the guilty. The guilty party
in this case was punished and the not
guilty party was released. The woman
in question was the mother of four
children and the evidence convinced
me that a trick had been played against
an unsuspecting woman to get at her
husband, against whom some person
had a grudge. 1t was for this reason
that l counselled leniency.
"The evidence in that case also
showed that the husband was away
from home throughout the day and
that when he returned that he had
questioned his wife regarding the
odor of moonshine and was told that
she was cooking beets." The inter-
ests of justice did not warrant the
prosecution of the husband, who was
entirely innocent and to whom the
making of moonshine was abhorrent."
Nothing Personal In Statements.
Attorney Symmonds stated that he
had meant nothing personal regarding
Mr.. Barnett in statements that he
made other than that the statements
touched upon the conduct OF the Office
as he had seen it. He stated that only
excerpts from his address ha6 been
published and thai these excerpts had
dealt mostly with what he had said
regarding the Office of district attor-
ney. He declared that he had made
other statements regarding other
offices and regarding the situation in
general and that he felt that in justice
to MIR. Barnett, to the public at large
and to all concerned, that some Of
these other statements made in the az
dress of Mr.. Symmonds before che
