In comparing Mr.. G%oppert's state
ment with the above it will be noted
that he failed to include the cost of
the jurors, approximately SO, who at
the last term of court were sitting
around waiting to be called while
Mr.. Goppert IA wranging and jang-
ling over unimportant details, drag
cling the cases out to a length which
wore out the patience of nearly ev-
eryone who was forced to listen. The
cost of these waiting jurors for five
weeks amounted to s2,192.40.
If the rest of the cases on the
docket had not been summarily dis
missed because it was plain Mr.. Cop
pert had not sufficient evidence to
convict, the term would have lasted
for weeks at a tremendous cost to
the county.
In the 1923 term there was s1100.10
paid to jurors not sitting in cases,
making a total of s3,292.50 for the
two terms. This was the cost to the
county for jurors kept waiting while
Mr.. Goppert was engaged in the trial
of cases in which he had practically
no chance of conviction.
The total cost of the 1922 and 1928
terms with the fees of the jurors not
sitting in cases, amounts to $9,370.57
which does not include the salary
of bailiffs or sheriff's fees for calling
jurors.
Mr.. Goppert states in his figures
that there has been S6,490.67 in fines
and costs paid by bootleggers.
The figures of the Clerk of Court
show that she has received $3,S19.67
in fines, and costs to the amount of
$709.55 since Mr.. Goppert has been
in office. The county gets only
the $709.55 paid in costs.
The reason for this is that the con-
stitution of the State provides that
all fines and penalties received from
the general laws of Wyoming shall
be paid into the school funds of the
respective counties, and therefore
the S3,S19.67 cannot be used to off
set the costs of prosecution.
In the justice court, taking Mr..
Goppert's own figures, there is a de-
felt of $252.75. With fines and costs
amounting to s1407.55, and costs Of
the justice court amounting to $1660.-
30. the difference leaves us in the red.
1t costs the county about 500 per
month to arr for the persons in jail.
There has been an average of fou
men in Jail each day for the past
year who are serving their fines. The
county pays them. or gives them cred
il for $1.00 per day, thus making "a
n day, or 1920 n month, or $1440.OO
per year. This added to the $1,000
per year for their keep amounts to
$500 n year.
The county commissioners estimat-
ed that the court expense would be
about $4,000 for the year. They APP
propriated this amount when making
up the annual budget. This proved
TO be only a drop in the bucket as
the court expenses in six months, or
up to the first of July, amounted to
$7,265.00.
Who spent this, Mr.. Goppert?
