RULING LIMITS
POLICE POWER
OF DETECTIVES
GiIIiom Gives Horse Thief
0pinion-Sumner Case
Continued.

Constabulary powers OF horse
thief detectives are to be exercised
only in pursuit Of horse thieves or
"other like felo2s," Attorney General
Arthur L. Gillinm held today in an
opinion submitted to William d.
Parker of Greensburg, who had
queried the State as to what con-
stitutes the power and duties of such
constables."
"Such members have not, and can
not be given, broader constable pow
ers or for different purposes than
/ the act authorizes" Gilliom said.
He said It was clear 1t was not
the intent of either the 1856 or the
1907 Legislatures, each of which
passed horse thief detective laws. to
provide Tor additional constables or
to empower any one to act in the
capacity Of constables generally or
regularly.
Trial OF Charles Sumner police
captain, before Superior Judge Clin-
ton H. Givan on contempt Of court
charges arising from the police
horse thief detective trouble election
day, was continued until May 20
today by Judge Givan.
Sumner was not in court when
the case was called. City Attorney
William Bosom appeared and said
Summers wife and child were in
Phoenix, Ariz., for the child's health,
and the defendant wished to go
there tomorrow to move them to a
cooler section.
Sumney was charged with saying,
election night:
ITO with the courts orders.
I don't give a about them. We
will lock them all up"
This meant, according to Deputy
Sheriff Roland Snider and Grin E.
Davis, military director of the Horse
Thief Detective Association, who
filed the information with Judge
Givan, that Sumner felt contempt
for the courts injunction against
locking up by police of horse thief
detectives who were watching the
polls.

Charges during the recent pri-

obtain a permit unless he is licensed

A registered pharmacist holding a

kept free from animosities and

weeks ago when I wrote the article

facts and slurred nobody, but Mr..
Cook, secretary of the ring commit
tee, has started campaign OF
slang. So all right, Mr.. Cook: We
welcome you.
We were amazed at Mr.. Cooks ar
ticle not mentioning Mr.. Oglevee as
a member of the county board. He
mentioned and praised the work of
Mr.. Fuller, another member of the
board, who four years ago ran as
candidate against the system and is
running this year in favor of it. AS
Mr.. Oglevee was elected by larger
vote than Mr.. Fuller was, now why
did he omit him from his article?
Simply because Mr.. Oglevee will not
take orders from the ring. That is
why. Now as Mr.. Cook has advised
you how to vote, let us see who this
man Cook is.
